Comments about courses
Students requiring a student visa must:
- Have adequate medical insurance to cover their stay in Ireland. The policy must be in English. The school can arrange medical insurance before a student arrives or on arrival. Cost: EUR 160 (8 months).
- Open a bank account in Ireland and have evidence of more than EUR 3000 balance. The school can help students to open an account on arrival (please bring proof of funds from your home bank with you to Ireland).
While there is no policy that students must buy their course book through the school, they must have the correct course books with them when going to class. If not, they will not be allowed to enter the class which will affect their attendance negatively. There is a Student Noticeboard located in the school where students can buy and sell course books.

Student comments
Olaf: "Since buses only run every 30 minutes, if at all, and often get stuck in traffic jams, it is extremely important that the school in Galway is within walking distance, so that you do not have to constantly rely on taxis in the evenings or at night. In my opinion, a 30-minute walk is the absolute limit!"
Anja: "Very warm host family, fresh towels every other day, half board, varied meals, other guest students."

What students liked about Bridge Mills Galway Language Centre, Galway
Anja
41 years“I felt very comfortable in this language school. Small class sizes, different levels, very friendly and open-minded teachers. The teachers rotate so that I also had the pleasure of being taught by different teachers. Everyone has their own methods and approach. I not only learned English there, but also a lot about the country and its people and this has not been limited to Ireland. The classes are mixed differently: different backgrounds, different cultures, different mother tongues. Through the group work, you have the opportunity to learn about all these, to get into conversation and make friends at the same time.
The school itself offers various leisure activities and additional hours. Bus tours can also be booked and paid for at the school.”

Insider tips about what future students should not miss: Absolutely don't buy at the beginning the text books suggested by the school, but just wait until you'll be placed in your right and definitive level, otherwise you will be forced to buy more books
Other comments: You can organize yourself independently from the school trips to the Cliffs of Moher and Connemara Park, because you are you will not save anything at all doing it troughout the school
