It wasn't just about education in a classroom setting. You learned to be independent, confident in your decisions, and experienced freedom that can only come with being miles and miles from home.

Galway is the most magical and inviting place, allowing you to call it home instantly. The small city and its people are so welcoming and friendly. Although the school is a little different from what we are used to at St. Joes, it is nice to experience something new. The accommodations you can choose to live in are in the most prime location, as it is a quick two minute walk to the main street of town. Ireland is a great place to study abroad!

Studying abroad in good 'ol Galway, Ireland will be the best 3.5 months of learning about a great culture, amazing people and overall yourself. Galway will always have a piece of my heart. I will always be a Galway Girl!

I felt very at home when attending NUIG. The professors and students were very nice and helpful. It was an amazing experience!
