LOCATION

Mesa Community College's Study Abroad in Ireland will be held on the campus of Athlone Institute of Technology located in picturesque Athlone, County Offaly, Ireland. Situated in the heart of Ireland astride the river Shannon, Athlone is a city rich in culture and history. It is home to Athlone Castle which controlled trade along the river through the center of the island nation for much of its history.

Modern Athlone is a center of industry and education and home to one of Ireland's major institutes of technology. Because of its central location (between Dublin and Galway) it is a transportation hub by road (N-6) and rail, and makes access to the rest of Ireland convenient.

Participants will be housed in the Croi Oige Student Village apartments conveniently located across from AIT's campus. Each luxury four bedroom apartment is fully furnished and comes equiped with TV, iron and ironing boards, oven, microwave oven, refridgerator, electric kettle, all kitchen utensils, and beding. Each bedroom comes with a study/computer desk and is internet ready with high speed internet acccess.
