With the city as your classroom and supportive staff, it empowers students to thrive anywhere.

Plus, all enrolled First-Year Abroad students are considered for a one-year $5,000 scholarship to support their international experience.

鈥淟eaving my West Coast home as a first-generation student to study in Dublin was my scariest dream come true. The First-year Dublin Experience at Marist proved to be a supportive community that erased any fear I had. From the coziness of our residence buildings and the friendships kindled through shared activities, the students here don't just find comfort in our surroundings, but a profound connection with each other. Choosing this journey was the right choice, one I never imagined, but now cherish.  To my fellow students, embrace the unknown, it's where your most extraordinary experiences start." Valencia Hill '26, First-Year Dublin
