NUI Galway Reviews

When you're leaving the cathedral you might as well keep exploring that end and head on over to NUIG. The campus is gorgeous. I love wandering around university grounds and this place is great. You'll feel like you're in Harry Potter for a bit!

I went here for four years and it was great!!! I would totally recommend it

What an impressive location. Hard by a charming little city. Charming staff.

Any prospective students and employees can do far, far better than to consider NUI. A university that concocts a reason to ask potential employees about their menstrual cycle - though not, oddly, about prostates - has taken some strange backward steps.

The kind of college that doesn't care about students financial welfare. See the bursar ( Sharon Bailey's) recent comments saying 295 to sit online repeat exams in your own home is a modest fee. Or continuing to charge the contribution fee of 224 in September, even with on campus access probably being more limited than usual. Absolute jokeshop.

I visited the grounds of NUI Galway during last May when Mojo fest was held in Baily Allen Hall next to Sult. Every day I had to cross the campus grounds and I was impressed how clean and organised they were. So very well kept, perfectly groomed and really lovely.
The hall was very spacious and absolutely perfect for a conference and many people messing around at the same time.
The Sult cafe next door was just the right size to accommodate all the coffee drinkers during the breaks and had a lovely terrace overlooking the river for a good relaxing drink in the end.

Spectacular University surrounded by impressive gardens

I really enjoyed visiting the National University of Ireland Galway. The Quadrangle is really beautiful and the courtyard is very green and well-maintained.

NUI IS THE VERY IDEAL INSTITUTE OF IRELAND, GREAT CAMPUS AND ENVIRONMENT , THANKS YOU SO MUCH TO GOD. MY SON SWAPNIL SIDDHARTH SELECTED BY ALL PROCESSING EXAMS

A great university in Galway, in Ireland. I have a lot if dear friends graduate from here. An amazing place

Nuig is a joke of a college they lectures are nothing but lazy and the president is stuck up

I wish to be here.... National university of Ireland.

Unbelieveable Jeff. Galway is the placed to be. it was deadly, it was turbo whopper minty fresh. as eminen says, "you only got one shot" #hero #sorted wicked ;o gluck lads. coming pints later? anyway. go Galway ladz. the roads arn't great tho.....

Stunning campus, easy to navigate, modern new buildings being added really enhance the place.

First it was Queen's College, then University College - and now it's National University of Ireland, Galway. But to thousands of graduates, it was always their most cherished alma mater!

Nice place, were there when there were degrees. Had something special, the young people in robes and headgear to see in this environment.

It is really hard to find your way around the university. There are no clear signs of where things are.

Excellend Campus, with many facilities and activities for students.

Great campus locate beside the River Corrib. Lots of place to eat and easy to get around on foot or by bicycle. They have spent a lot of time and effort renovating the campus over the last 15 years

Ranked in top 1% amongst the universities across the globe, this university has one of the greenest buildings in whole Ireland, with so many international students and such a great campus all along the River Corrib, makes this university a great place to enhance your life.

Don't ask more than one question at a time, you will only get the answer for the first one anyway. And it will take at least 14 days ;)

Most expensive haunted house I've ever been to but probably the scariest one I've been to as well. Felt the fear of it even when I wasn't there. 5 stars for fear factor, just wish it wasn't so expensive..

I was in Galway between 1996 and 2000. The college seemed to be in a transition from the old UCG to the newly branded NUI, Galway.

My experience of college in Galway was a mixed bag. I wasn't too keen on it in my first year and took a year out.

After the experience of working in the 'real world' my grades improved when I returned. I also went to the States for a semester in my final year.

Tbh, I felt I was a bit of a loner in college until my final year. In terms of the social side though, for me I particularly enjoyed the PDS (Political Discussion Society) and Lit n Deb (Literary and debating society). I listened to some of the best orators I have ever heard since speak at some of these meetings. I didnt say much though, contributing only a handful of times. I preferred to listen.

It was the time of the Good Friday agreement. Political leaders from all sides came down and spoke regularly at these meetings. Martin McGuinness got a big audience. In fairness the students didn't give them (the politicians) an easy time but there was something refreshing and respectful about the debates and discussions. The speakers would speak and there would be a questions and answers session after.

The course I took was Commerce. In my final semester I completed a minor in human resouce management and marketing.

I did well in my degree. I received a first and came in the top 1% out of the 300 or so who were doing the course. Though I certainly felt I wasn't smarter than the other students on the course in terms of effort or quickly grasping academic concepts - I knew how to use a computer and the Internet.

As an example, I got the highest in my class in my promotions management course. My understanding of the academic game to get by at the time was learning off information in books and notes. Find out what the lecturer was looking for or put emphasis on and regurgitate it. That got most people a B or 2.1

I did the same but took the keywords from notes/tips and did an Internet search on them - found current examples, committed it to memory and put it into my paper - something other students were not yet doing. If I was doing commerce a couple of years earlier I don't think I would have done as well but again I was lucky I could use a computer and I was lucky the Internet was just growing and I knew how to use it.

I also got credit for working on business plan for an Irish pub in Galway called 'An Dilleog'. It was a three story super-pub off Eyre Square. Super pubs were in fashion at the time. Fortunately, one of my colleagues on the project had a family member who was an accountant. I drew on their experience with regards to the numbers side of the business plan. I think I worked well as part of the team and I think that's what I got the most out of NUI, Galway.

The idea of collaboration and working together to achieve something.

One of the best campuses I have visited with scenic beauty

Great university. Still studying and enjoying the experience. I would definitely recommend any adults thinking of going back to education to give this uni a good looking at as it is one of th
e best.

A great University and not just fro students for everyone!

The national university of Galway or NUIG as I like to call it is a very nice college, I didn't actually study here but I've walked through and it really seems lovely... Ample amount of bike racks

The campus was beautiful. Enjoyed student eatery. There were no students engrossed in cell phones!

Beautiful buildings and gardens with spectacular green. A pity that it was under construction but it is very beautiful

NUIG's campus is great. It's tidy with everything close by.

They are very helpful and responsive to emails and requests

Absolutely amazing University, with highly experienced and passionate lecturers.. Campus is beyond beautiful

The oldest building of the entire complex. It's impressive.

Amazing selection of subjects to learn. Amazing profesers.

Over all I find it's a good university especially the languages departments

Great college.
Except for massive timetable issues.

Extremely helpful and responsive. Friendly lady on the reception.

Beautiful and Lively campus...I enjoy every moment studying here!

Scientist for a Day... in the Kitchen Ta Boot! Thanks for the great idea. Since they took away home economics, PlaySchool Academy here in our District is developing a plan close to the same concept.
