Living Arrangements

Students begin their program with an orientation program at either Corrymeela Knocklayd or Corrymeela Ballycastle Reconciliation Centers in Ireland along the North Antrim Coast. The students live with local families in bed and breakfast arrangements in Derry. In Belfast, students also live in private homes, both Protestant and Catholic. Typically two students are placed in each home.

Travel

Students will be responsible for making their own travel plans both to and from the program, as well as during the independent travel period. After acceptance, students will be informed of the date to arrive in Belfast at Belfast City Airport. All students must arrive on the same day. For immigration purposes, flight arrangements must be made from Great Britain to Belfast rather than through the Irish Republic.
