<p>D wants to spend a semester in Ireland to explore her/our Irish heritage. Are you familiar with University College Dublin and/or Cork, and if so, any insights or advice?</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Keep talk of ‘Irish heritage’ to a minimum. Irish people will probably laugh or roll their eyes.</p></li>
<li><p>Cork is a prettier campus, and probably more fun, and cheaper, but it’s in a much smaller city. You’ve got more to do and national museums/theaters etc in Dublin. Dublin is chock full of American tourists. There are far fewer in Cork.</p></li>
<li><p>My main advice? Let her decide for herself. If she cared that much she’d have posted here herself.</p></li>
</ol>
