Trinity US Open Days 2025

Trinity College Dublin is excited to host a series of in-person Open Days across the United States next Spring, designed for students interested in studying at the University. These events will provide comprehensive information about all aspects of Trinity and will offer tailored details for those accepted for Fall 2025, including insights into Trinity's programs and international student support. It’s a fantastic opportunity to learn more about what Trinity has to offer, as well as to connect with other students from your area who will be attending Trinity. We look forward to meeting you and your family at one of these events and encourage you to reach out to your local Trinity US representative with any questions.

What Parents Who Attended Previous Events Said:

If you want to meet some people who are passionate about their school and facilitating the educational goals of their students, consider attending this event. In addition to a visual tour of the school via video, you are provided insightful materials about the courses of studies and the opportunity to interact with faculty, staff, students and alumni. I thought it was great!

My Son and I attended a US Open Day in Los Angeles (2019) and it was absolutely worth the time and effort! My Son has been interested in Trinity for some time. With everyone's busy lives, the Admissions Staff for the evening meeting, got straight to what the university is all about, how to go about it as a US Student, and had an incredible panel of varying alumni with different degree backgrounds and paths to Trinity. What we gained in one brief evening, was 'hands down' time better served than sitting with a hired college counsellor. Thank You to the Admissions Staff!

Trinity College in Dublin has been my son's first choice college since middle school, yet as a parent, I had many questions. Having an opportunity to hear about the various course options available and ask questions, as well as speak with alum, was invaluable. We were fortunate enough to speak with an alum prior to the event and listening to him speak about his experiences at Trinity brought the school to life. As my son has numerous fields of interests, a concern for me was needing to select one course of study right now. Speaking with an alum who had taken a science course and was now a writer - a skill he had acquired through participating in a literary club on campus - alleviated my concerns. I highly recommend attending a Trinity College US Admissions event if you have the opportunity.

Student Testimonials

Elli Brennan

US Graduate: Philosophy, Political Science, Economics and Sociology

The moment I walked through the front gate of college I was sold. There’s something magical about strolling in from the loud bustling street into the dark tunnel of front gate. Those big wooden doors transport you into another world, a bright imposing and enduring oasis. After over 400 years of change, so much remains remarkably the same at Trinity. The history really drew me in.

Over the four years I became so much more independent, something I think a lot of American college students miss out on. The support services at Trinity are second to none, but at the end of the day it’s up to you to take advantage of them and to push yourself to succeed. Now that I’m finishing up my time here I feel so confident that I can go out into the real world and take initiative. I think this is a big reason so many entrepreneurs come out of Trinity. Going to Trinity taught me how to push myself and to earn everything I accomplish.

Probably the most important reason I came to Trinity was because I thought it would be such a great adventure. How often do you have the opportunity to live in an entirely new place and experience a totally different culture for four years? It just felt like an opportunity I couldn’t pass up.
There were definitely a few cultural differences that were difficult to overcome when coming to Ireland, but I think that’s part of the adventure you sign up for when coming here.

Dublin is so accessible and student friendly that it feels like it is just one big college town! Dublin is a young and vibrant city with lots to explore. And since Trinity is so centrally located, you really get to experience a lot of the city while going to school here.
