To be on the safe side, you should plan on budgeting around $2,800 for the trip (not including "fun money" or money for souvenirs, etc. This may differ somewhat depending on the cost of flights, exchange rates, etc. As of January 2016,
We'll will likely stay at the same apartment complex in Dublin as the Spring semester students stay at - it's a little dated, but it pays off making it much more convenient for our travels around the area. It is right across from the Australian embassey, so you need to be on your best behavior on this trip. Anyone not acting in an appropriate manner will be sent home on the next available flight (at your expense) as well as a forfeiture of any fees paid. It's not that hard - behave properly, enjoy the experience, and learn lots!
