Personal comments
Our room was an en-suite apartment with 4 single rooms and 4 bathrooms. I had a private room with bathroom and it was great! We had a kitchen and common room with TV, which was a definite plus. It is close to campus but far from town (about a 15 to 20 minute walk.) However it was worth it because I never thought I would have a single. And it was easy to cook in the rooms, which saved money.

If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
I'm actually living in Galway again at present. The on-campus accommodation was far too expensive and I needed a change. I'm happier now living in a lovely apartment in the town centre! It's better value for money

Personal comments
even if it was way too dear, I have great memories of the months I stayed there. It gave me the oportunity to live with Irish people and also to make great friends. i don't regret having chosen that accommodation in the first place. But a year is enough, I think.

Overall
I wish I had known...
I had been in Ireland before so I was quite familiar with the country, I always knew that it was the ideal place for me. I wouldn't have gone anywhere else.

In my opinion:
Everybody loved it, you will too!
Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
If Galway is the university of your choice, you're not gonna be disappointed. But take into account that you're gonna experience a different way of living. Therefore, be open-minded and positive (never think your country is the best in everything, it's just different) and try to have fun. Make the most of your Erasmus experience cause it's a once-in-a-lifetime one.

Final comments
Well, the fact that I'm still living in Galway (and I don't plan to leave the place in the near future) sums all up. I'm half Irish at this stage and love it.
