We are here to help
Student Care Team:
Eden College Dublin & eCollege London
In both of our schools we are delighted to be able to offer you every support possible to make the transition from home to either Dublin or
London as smooth as possible. Studying abroad is an exciting adventure as well as a major life transition. For many it will be the first
time away from home. While you may be looking forward to all the opportunities that come with living in an overseas country, you may
also feel apprehensive about the many unknowns. The Student Care team is available from 10.00 a.m. to 18.00 p.m. Monday to
Friday to help with any problems which you encounter. Please remember no problem is too big or too small. We hope that this service,
which is confidential and free to students, will be helpful and that we will have the opportunity to get to know many of you.
