Accommodations
Students will stay at University College Dublin Summer Residence. They provide on-site support staff, security, and on-campus services. Via bus, the commute time to central Dublin is 20 minutes.
Each student has their own single bedroom with ensuite bathroom and apartments include Wi-Fi, kitchens (with basic supplies), linens, and laundry (either in-building or next door). Connect-123’s staff supports students with any housing-related issues, including room change and repair requests.
You should be open to all types of accommodation as housing placements are based on a number of factors such as availability, program length, cost, number of participants and proximity to the internship site. Specific details about accommodations and local transportation to and from the internship site will be provided approximately 2 weeks prior to departure.
UC Davis reserves the right to change the accommodation location. Should this be necessary, we will arrange alternative lodging. Please note that elevators, air conditioners and other modern conveniences may not be available in all locations.
Meals
A welcome dinner is included in the program cost. All other meals are not included in the program cost and are the responsibility of the participant. You will be able to shop locally for groceries to prepare meals in your apartment, as well as take time to enjoy the cafes and restaurants.
Excursions & Activities
Upon arrival in Dublin, you will participate in an on-site orientation offered by Connect-123 that eases your transition to your new environment—both inside and outside the workplace—to accelerate readiness to live and work in Ireland.
In addition, you have the opportunity to participate in many self-led, as well as organized cultural activities and reflection workshops throughout the program as part of a career readiness course. Possible activities may include:
- Galway, Cliffs of Moher and Connemara Tour
- Celtic Boyne Valley Tour
- Experience Gaelic Games

Study Abroad Advisory of Student Risk
Participation in this UC Davis Study Abroad program requires travel to and extended living in a foreign location(s) abroad. UC Davis Study Abroad endeavors to reduce and mitigate risk wherever possible. However, the environments and risks associated with living in these locations are substantially different than those found during a regular course of study at UC Davis. All participants must download and review the following information prior to departure. Any questions should be directed to the program coordinator.
