[quote=Anonymous]We have one at Trinity in Dublin.  A bit of an odd situation since we are citizens of Ireland (registry of foreign births) but haven't resided there.  In order to qualify for covered tuition you need to have lived in Ireland for the last 3 of 5 years -- I think.  I can't remember the specifics but we didn't qualify.  Process was very similar to US.  The didn't require more from DS then any US University did.  You really need to know what you want to study though. When Irish students go in they are in a defined path of course work and they are expected to stay in it.  Most of that is dictated by their leaving certs scores.  Is isn't easy to switch between studies once you are in.  Cost is high, it is a top university so expect to pay regular US prices.  But by second year they were giving scholarships and access to great housing which is a big thing in Dublin.  We go twice a year in the fall and spring.  Last year DS didn't come home for summer since he was interning for politico over there.  He loves it.  We may never get him back which is fine since we hope to spend more time over there as we retire if only the health care was better.[/quote]
