<p>There are deffo more Americans at St. Andrews. There are however large amounts of JYA's in Trinity.</p>
<p>If your main aim is to attend a coolege with lots of Americans, it's probably best to attend one in America....</p>
<p>One of my best friends study in Griffith College, Dublin.He likes it. he undergoes practical training in Allianz group, Dublin.
So, what are your opinions about Griffith College ?</p>
<p>It's not the best. It's a private college with low entry standards and seems to be a bit to expensive for what it offers. I would stay away if I were you.</p>
<p>What is a JYA? Thanks.</p>
<p>Of course, Junior Year Abroad.</p>
<p>If you're after info on St Andrews - PM me. I go there. :) The vast majority of my friends are Americans, life here MIGHT be rural, but I find you can get to things if necessary; it depends what you want/need out of life. As for where it's ranked; we have exchanges with UPenn, Duke, Middlebury etc, so I don't think it's as low down as <em>below</em> Amherst and Swarthmore. I'm a pretty average student, and comparatively with those universities' ranking systems, I'm making a 3.8 average. Plus, I find the course-load is easier to handle as it's lighter with the pressure of self-study rather than classes. I have a friend at Yale, and he's transitioning really, really badly from high school to Yale, and he went to a top college prep school, so it's not that he's not hardworking!</p>
