Meet Kelsey Donohue, Student Ambassador
We’re delighted to welcome another student ambassador to our program. Meet Kelsey, who’s studying at National University of Ireland Galway:
Hi there! My name is Kelsey Donohue and I am delighted to be a student ambassador for NUIGalway! I am originally from Long Island, New York. I am in my third year of study at Marist College, which is located in New York’s Hudson River Valley. I am currently a Communication major with a concentration in Public Relations with minors in History and Psychology.
Studying at NUIG has been amazing so far. Volunteerism is a very big part to the NUIG community, which I’ve been able to take part in through the ALIVE program. Volunteering at the Galway IronMan event and the Intercultural Children’s Forum were probably two of the coolest things I’ve taken apart of during my time here so far.
I chose to study in Ireland, and specifically Galway, because of the opportunity to be really immersed into the culture here. Since I arrived in August, Galway really has been able to live up to its “cultural heart” reputation. Whether it’s taking a stroll down the Salthill Prom or showing any visitors the beautiful Cliffs of Moher, I realize I truly feel at home here. Although my time here is short, I’ve enjoyed every second of it! If you have any questions regarding studying in Ireland, please don’t hesitate to email me at Kelsey.Donohue1@Marist.edu

Hi Kelsey,
My name is Allie i am writing from Boise, Idaho. I came across your name when i was browsing the internet for some kind of advice on college life in Ireland. It is my dream to visit Ireland one day and i was hoping to go to school there but i have no idea which ones i should atttend. When i saw your name and blog i decided to see if i could get some advice on all of this. A little about my school background if it helps is i am a high school graduate of 2011, i am not attending any universites here in the US, although i have been looking into it, i just dont know if it would be the best idea to start school in the US and transfer over to Ireland or just start in Ireland and when i do go off to University i would probably major Biology to one day become a Chiropractor. So if you have any advice for this kind of lost girl that would be great. Thank you and any advice would be much appreciated!
Best wishes
Allie Benner
