NUI Galway offers a broad curriculm to study abroad students, ranging from Celtic studies, early Irish law, architecture, to political studies (historical and current). Courses were challenging and the professors were eager to engage study abroad students.

Study Abroad Students from the U.S. were housed together in very comfortable flats - four to a unit, each with own bedroom / bathroom, a nice kitchen. The walk to the campus is a little long, but is scenic and give you an opportunity to view the city.
