A special celebration with Ireland Experience! Leonor and Andrés, two of our youngest students, had a unique experience during their stay in Cork: they celebrated their 15th birthdays! After a day full of classes and activities, they enjoyed an unforgettable afternoon at one of the city’s most popular burger joints. Surrounded by laughter, friends, and delicious burgers, they blew out the candles and shared this special moment with their new Irish family and fellow adventurers. A birthday they will surely never forget!
In addition, a group of our students, accompanied by Maria del Mar, embarked on a visit to some of the iconic landmarks in Cork.
We commenced our excursion with a visit to UCC (University College Cork). The University of Cork conducts its affairs within a collection of buildings of considerable historical and architectural significance, reflecting a splendid Gothic-Tudor style. It boasts a stellar reputation, particularly in the domains of Mathematics and Medicine. The university’s inception dates back to 1845, following an extensive campaign advocating higher education in Munster. Subsequently, a law was enacted heralding the establishment of Queen’s College Cork, initially catering to students of Arts, Law, and Physics. The doors of the university opened to students in 1849.
Among the points of interest are the Quadrangle Courtyard, the renowned “Aula Maxima,” the “Alumni” bridge, the Crawford Observatory, the “Kane” building, and the monument commemorating the War of Independence.
