" University of Galway is a relatively small campus, so getting around is easy. There are good options for food that are reasonably priced with multiple canteens and coffee shops located around campus. There is definitely an issue with parking and it is difficult to find a space at busy hours of the day. There is a wide range of societies with something for everyone's interest. "

" University of Galway is a great college that actively addresses important issues like bullying, racism, gender, and sexuality and things many universities overlook. They uphold high standards and don't tolerate any form of discrimination. I also really appreciate that many lecturers include their pronouns in emails, it's a small gesture that makes a big difference. Overall, I feel very safe and supported here. "

" Everything is going good. I’m doing a project for my thesis at university of Galway with a professor of the course “consumer psychology” in the psychology building. The campus is beautiful, there are a lot of public areas where you can meet people, the professors are very kind and helpful. I really like being around. "

" The faculty within the computer science department are very good They're all competent in their respective fields and they're also very supportive and dedicated to helping students succeed. The university has a vibrant and inclusive community. There's always activities going on around the campus. And it has loads of clubs & societies to join, as an international student they were a great way to make new friends when I started! "

" The school of nursing is not great for communication or organization. Very confusing and not the best place to study such a practical career. IT is much better. Beautiful campus and facilities but just not great for nursing students. "
