The Long Direct Quote Example A Example B

For years, I assumed that Id end up at UT-Austin or Rice or some place like that, but then I heard about Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland, and the more I looked into it, the more attractive it became. Trinity is like the Harvard of Ireland. So, my parents and I arranged to meet some of the university recruiters in Chicago, and that sealed the deal for us. Its a lot different than I thought it would be. I live in a dorm thats a half-hour commute from campus, and my flat mates have to stop and cook because there is no such thing as a dormitory meal plan. The year is broken into three terms, and I had to declare a major on my admissions application because students apply to a specific department instead of the college itself. I like it a lot, especially now that Ireland is part of the European Union. Ive met people from all across Europe.
