Galway ratings & reviews
What our students said about Galway
The language school is located in the immediate city centre. Apart from many advantages, this has the disadvantage that the daily lunch in the heavily frequented city centre is very expensive. A minimum of 10 Euros is to be expected in each case. But the offer is very varied. The public transport is offered on the line 407, which was used to reach my host family, only every half hour and on Sundays as well as in the evening hours only once per hour. The bus is always at least 5 minutes late during rush hours. It also happened that the bus did not come at all.
A wonderful city! Full of music and friendly locals. Within easy walking distance of important tourist attractions, such as the Cliffs of Moher, which can be reached for an inexpensive price by public transport. A well-developed network of travel agencies that also offer trips to more distant places for reasonable prices.
Galway is worth a visit, a beautiful city with lots of attractions. Live Irish music in the pubs is sensational. Residents friendly, smiling whatever the weather.
It is a great place to go to study English, it is a university town so it is very lively and because it is small it is very liveable for students.
Nice, clean university city that looks more like a small town. Good shopping and entertainment facilities.
Tourist town, but with strong traits of real Ireland. A place I would definitely return to.
Very relaxed in the off-season, probably unbearably overcrowded in the summer!
A beautiful city, very well laid out. I felt very comfortable.
I would recommend it to my friends and family to try it
It is a very unique, beautiful and above all safe city.

Organization is definitely the strong point; the classes are never too large which allows for very personalized teaching. The blackboards are state-of-the-art and the online materials are also very useful. The professors are all very knowledgeable and friendly. One is well taken care of at all times, from the first day during the welcome to the last with the farewell ceremony.
