Galway City
Galway is one of the fastest growing cities
in Europe and is big enough to have
everything you need, but small enough to
get to know people easily. Galway really is
‘a university city’– the campus is in the
heart of the city centre, with all amenities
within walking distance. The cost of living
in Galway is significantly lower than other
university cities, making your move to
Galway that bit easier or, if you are from
Galway, another great reason to stay.
