The people are very fun loving and helpful. Campus is great and beautiful.

Tips: There is a cultural shift here but there are many Indians around so you won't feel homesick. People are always ready to help you. The scholarship was not there for me since I didn't apply earlier. But there are scholarship options for this university can check in the University of Galway portals for further information. The university overall is really great and beautiful.

My college is well and good but living here is too costly.

Tips: Students should be aware of the rent system or accommodation system of Galway as it is quite expensive and sometimes it is so tough to find it. If you are in the August-September intake, it is important to start looking for houses as early as possible. You should book your house in March or April, which is about 4-5 months in advance.

Likes (Part time work): Part-time jobs are easily available because there are lots of stores that hire very easily. The pay is 13.5 euros per month, so you can easily manage your monthly e...

Tips: I felt happy and excited when I first arrived at the University of Galway. I was looking forward to exploring the whole Irish culture.

Tips: The University of Galway is a great university to study in. However, students must be prepared to face the Irish weather, cook for themselves, and juggle part-time jobs with academic life. Everything here is expensive compared to India, so students should account for this when budgeting. The university itself is really good, although it can be stressful at times with all the assignment deadlines. However, with proper time management and hard work, it is possible to succeed.

The university is fun, welcoming, hectic and rewarding.

Tips: The college is very friendly and welcoming, but it can be challenging to get a part-time job in the initial months. The assignments are very different from Indian colleges as we have to do everything on our own. Also, we are expected to know the basic modules at the start of the curriculum. The faculty are experienced in their own field. Overall, I am quite satisfied with my experiences.

This university is a great choice for students who want to focus on academics.

Tips: It is really difficult to find off-campus accommodation. The university is easygoing, and there are many events happening on campus, so overall it's good. However, I searched for a part-time job for about 30 days before I found one.

Likes (Indian Food): I am from India and love spicy food. Europe is not known for its spicy food, so I was concerned that I wouldn't be able to find the spices I like. But I was wrong. There are many Asian and Indian stores where you can find the ingredients you are looking for.
