AIFS Program: Limerick, Ireland | School: College of Charleston | Bio: Whats the craic? My name is Dylan DeJames, I am currently a senior at the College of Charleston. I am an Exercise Science major, I hope of going to grad school and pursuing my dream to become a pediatric occupational therapist. I was lucky enough to spend last fall at the University of Limerick in Ireland. As cliche as it is studying abroad changed my life for the better. I found a group of people that I immediately connected with, my AIFS peers! Everyone was there for the same reasons ready to explore and up to any new adventures. We all chose Ireland for some reason making it easy to bond, it was like making friends at summer camp! Studying abroad helped me find myself, or who I wanted to be by surrounding myself with incredible people, during a time I felt the window of making new friends in college had closed. I came back happier than ever, ready to tackle the rest of my junior and senior year. I cannot wait to share my experience with others and potentially give someone else hope for the rest of their college career!
