Student Stories

Academic Year is more than a timetable. These stories show the realities of improving English, finding confidence, building a social life, working, travelling and adapting to Dublin.

Work stories

One of the strongest stories in our archive follows a student’s journey from cleaning jobs to working as a caregiver as her English and confidence developed. We use stories like this as personal experience — never as a promise that another student will get the same job or outcome.

Study and life stories

Other students describe arriving with basic English, making friends, travelling around Ireland, becoming more independent and discovering an international community in Dublin.

The strongest stories are being migrated into this hub with their original attribution and images.
