Kylemore Abbey is NOT for sale, but it’s teaming up with a top US university

This is pretty cool for ND. Kylemore is a very popular spot for tourists and part of Connemara's rich heritage. The nuns were under pressure as the boarding school had closed and they were considering selling up but ND has stepped in to keep academics and teaching going which is a great thing for the area.

Looks beautiful, will they send students there for study abroad? or is that in the "unsafe" area of Ireland?

Yes I imagine so, currently ND sends students to O'Connell House in Dublin:
O'Connell House // University of Notre Dame

But I imagine they will start sending them to Kylemore not also for a more authentic Irish experience compared to having them based in the Dublin inner city.

Runtheball who posts on here sometimes took part in this program as a ND student i believe
