Tracy's Ocean City J1 experience
When you start college the J1 is the first thing you start dreaming about. It’s almost like a rite of passage that you get such an amazing opportunity. I saw people in the year ahead’s photos and just knew I had to go, I had to have that experience. I was sick of the routine of working in my part time which would have ended up being full time for summer. If I was going to work full time why not do it in America? I wanted a change of scenery and to make new memories with new people. I wanted to broaden my horizons and push myself past my comfort zone.

James's Boston & onward J1 experience
I’ve just returned from the summer of a lifetime and now don’t know what to do with my time!
I spent three months in America on a J1 visa as part of the work and travel programme. I can confidently say that if you’re thinking of doing this programme that you won’t regret it and that I might see you there!

Niamh's J1 Summer In San Diego
The decision to go on a J1 wasn’t a tough one to make- spend a summer going to and from work in Ireland versus in San Diego? I’ve yet to meet anyone who’d turn down an opportunity like that. The chance to have some independence that I don’t get living at home wasn’t something I was likely to pass on.

Mike's Chicago J1 experience
J1 USA is without question, the most incredible experience an Irish student can do with their summer. It will take you out of your comfort zone but has positive consequences such as finding yourself, life-changing experiences and helps to provide ideas for your life path after college.
