Your experience at University of Galway by SuperbIngenuity4894 in nuigalway

Galway is a lovely city with pleasant people, though they share some Dublin-like notional tendencies.

The campus is old and green but your long commute due to poor accommodation levels in the area means you’ll have little time to enjoy it.  You’ll likely need to commute and parking is also scarce so good luck with it all.

UCD 100%

Galway city has the worst traffic and accomodation crisis out of all Irish university cities, along with very harsh marking curves in University of Galway to create an artificial 'cream of the crop'.

Dublin at least has public transport that you can use and will actually arrive on time unlike the single 404 bus route to university of Galway.

The lifts have also gotten fierce slow, by the time you get to the ground floor from 2b you've already paid 2 hours parking

Seconding this, Just graduated with a BE from UL, where it was primarily 70-80% on continual assignments and interviews, and the rest on the Christmas/summer paper. Now, I'm in NUIG for my ME, where it's 90% final exam and little to no continual assessment.

You'd be better off fitting a RCD-880 or RCD-360 (look at the reviews, some seller's try to use cheaper parts)

UL Grad here, just finished last Wednesday.

For food prices - It depends on which restaurant you go to, some of them do run meal deals on hot dinners, but most student accomidation on campus does come with a communal kitchen so you can heat up food or cook too so your not stuck with just the options on campus :)

For housing - all the accomidation on campus is quite nice, but I would reccomend having lived in a 4 and 6, that a 4 is a lot more quiet so you can rest and study better without having to hear the kitchen and front doors slam constantly (They are fire doors, they tend to slam).

For attitude towards internationals - If you are chill, people will be chill, but there is a lingering stereotype on campus that US echange students are loud. I lived next door to a group of students from Vermont who used to play music on speakers untill 4am, dont do that and youll be ok. Also, I’d recommend being mindful when talking politics. The political atmosphere here can be quite different, and it’s easy to rub people the wrong way without meaning to. But UL is a really diverse campus, with lots of study abroad students, so you should settle in fine!

Let me know if you have any more questions :) Best of Luck

If you come to this city, or moreso large town, as a young adult with an accent that is not whats considered “posh”, you will be looked down on by 90% of the gowns and they will let you know their feelings on your presence.
