How much would it be to go to college in Ireland? in U.S. dollars.?

I would love to go to Ireland for college. I need to know how much it would be so I can see if it is realistic to want to go there. What are the colleges in Ireland? Also I need some websites where you got your information. My other big concerne is that if I go to Ireland and get a degree and come back to the U.S. would the degree be credited here?Thanks so much for any answers and ideas.

The main universities are:

University College Dublin http://www.ucd.ie/

University of Limerick http://www.ul.ie/

Trinity College Dublin http://www.tcd.ie/

National University of Ireland, Galway: http://www.ucg.ie/

Dublin City University http://www.dcu.ie/

Here’s UCC’s page on FAQs for US and Canadian students: http://www.ucc.ie/en/international/USCanadianWebsite/

Contact details for UCD’s international office: http://www.ucd.ie/international/about.htm

Contact details for UL’s international education office (on bottom right of page):

Trinity’s page for international students: http://www.tcd.ie/ISA/dc/dcdegreeadmission.html

DCU’s page for international students: http://www.dcu.ie/international/

NUI Galway’s page on international students: http://www.nuigalway.ie/international/

I think all the pages above have info on fees and how to apply to the colleges. Degrees from Ireland are of course recognised in the US.

I was just looking at Trinity College in Dublin. The fees are not the same for everybody like they are here. It depends on what you’re studying. And it’s a LOT more if you’re not from the European Union (which you’re not). Trinity’s fees for a Physics major seemed to be over 19,000 Euros, and I’m not sure that was for the whole year. It might have been for just one term. And that was just the tuition, and didn’t include all the housing, food, and other expenses. Maybe some other schools are cheaper, but I doubt it. In other words, it’s staggeringly expensive.

You needn’t worry about acceptance. A degree from a well-know European university is at least as credible as one from this country.

UK Yahoo has a big page…
