Emily Goldstein ‘07
Wayland, MA

Emily Goldstein is a Biology major who spent a year abroad at the University College Cork, Ireland.

Going to Ireland is the best thing I ever did, mainly because I really got to know myself. I found out I could rely on myself to deal with anything that came along. And I got better at picking various ways of interacting with people. It was really nice exploring a new culture, while still being in a sort of familiar place since in Ireland they speak the same language. It was really cool to see familiar things in a different way!

When: Junior year 2005-2006

What language did you speak: English

What did you study: I took courses all over - Irish Ecology, Irish Traditional Music, Irish History, Physics, Zoology, Plant Ecology, Old English, Celtic Folklore.

What next: I want to go back to Ireland for grad school.
