Don’t be this guy!
Living at National University of Ireland, Galway (Corrib Village)
Fast facts about Corrib Village: You will be housed in singles in a shared
apartment. Wireless internet available in rooms and
throughout campus. You will receive lunch Monday-Friday which is
included in program fee and will be available on campus.
Each apartment has a living area with T.V and the kitchen includes a dishwasher. Pots, utensils, basic amenities provided.
15-20 minute walk from town. Shuttle bus provided during the day.
Reception is open 24 hours daily.
Real Talk… These dorms ARE less centrally located than the
ones at TCD. You have a free shuttle service during the day
(for going grocery shopping in town or making the trip to the plays even though most theatres located closer to campus than far side of our small City Centre, where you would be dropped).
BUT the walk is more than manageable, and you will have no trouble finding and sharing taxis at reasonable rates if you are out late as it is not a long trip
Galway is safe, but becomes a party town at night especially during the summer, so exercise caution and stay together.
