Continental Europe

Ten student slots are available and costs are packaged to include airfare, ground transportation, accommodation, and trip-specific entrance fees (but not meals and incidentals). Participating students must pay the cost in advance and acceptance is based on a first-come, first-served basis for those who have paid in full by the deadline.

For those who forgo the continental trip, faculty member Dr. Jonathan Roberts provides an optional Ireland-based leisure activity.

Dublin

During an additional weekend the program offers another optional, faculty-led trip to Dublin, Ireland’s cosmopolitan capital city. For students who wish to enjoy the experience as a day trip, at least one faculty member will accompany them from Wexford Town to Dublin and back again. For students who wish to stay overnight, at least one faculty member will be available in Dublin throughout the weekend.

Medical treatment in Ireland through a hospital emergency department costs no more than €100 per visit, even if that visit results in hospitalization for one or more nights. In that unlikely event the program pays the €100 cost.

In most cases, a program graduate assistant or faculty member accompanies the student to the emergency department, although the student is legally obliged to check themselves in at reception (assuming they are able to do so).
