[quote=Anonymous]My kid is a student at Trinity College Dublin, which so far has been a great experience -- they have been challenged academically and have become significantly more independent and mature. The application process is very straightforward and looks at grades, standardized test scores, and academic preparation for the "course" they are applying to (including LORs). They received notice of admission less than two weeks after submitting their application, which they submitted in late November/early December.

I believe--but you will want to verify--that TCD (and perhaps Irish universities in general) look at residence rather than citizenship, so your child would need to have lived in France for three of the last five years to qualify for EU tuition rates. The international tuition varies by course (more for engineering and medicine, for example, than English or social studies courses). A big consideration for European/UK universities in general is that most, if not all, classes are usually in the student's major, which they identify during the application process. My student chose an interdisciplinary course to ensure that they have more variety in the types of classes over the four years; some universities also provide more flexibility for taking classes outside the major. If breadth and exposure to new disciplines is important to your student, it is worth thinking hard about whether the European/UK approach would be a good fit.[/quote]
