University College Cork

I spent two days at the University College Cork doing some research. The campus is one of the three original Queen's Colleges built in the mid-1800s. This campus is among the most beautiful I have seen with the river running through it. I thought they did a wonderful job of incorporating the new building as well--the campus has about 15,000 students with out-of-country tuition running about $15,000. I learned from a colleague that US students look to come to UCC to do a law degree and then become eligible for the NY bar exam--cuts off a number of years of schooling. Anecdotal information, but interesting to think about for some enterprising students! We hope to get back here when we tour in June.
