Looking to go to Ireland
Mon Oct 19, 2009 09:43 PM
Hello, i am a US student looking to travel to Ireland to get my MBA. I will be 21 in 2/2010 and will have my Bachelors in Business/Restaurant Mgt. in March. My fiancé and i are looking to move to Ireland nonetheless, but i would like to know would it be eaiser to try and get in a school now, or wait until i'm settled into a Apartment in Ireland? Also what schools should i look into, and if there would be any student aid availble.

From my experience, it's easier with things like getting visas, opening bank accounts, jobs, etc. if you have already gotten into a school there. Of course, I know some Americans with Irish passports because of their heritage, so that might make things easier from an administrative standpoint. Perhaps that also applies to you and/or your fiance.

What school are you interested in?

i was looking at Cork, i was really hoping on some recomendations that won't empty my wallet or at least offered some kind of student aid. We're planning on moving there in 2011 or 2012, and we have already started saving up for the move. We have already decided on moving there, i was just hoping i could get my MBA there instead of getting my MBA when or if i go back to the States.

Hi,

FYI, Some colleges in Ireland participate in U.S Federal AIid FAFSA. Such as Trinity College, UCD Michael Smurfit Graduate business school. You can borrow up to full cost including books and accomodation. You don't need a visa to go to Ireland if you are U.S citizen.
