In this chat I sit down with 4 students who are all still in NUIG doing courses ranging from Medicine to Marine Science. We talk about how they originally all found moving to Galway and getting stuck into their particular courses and college life in Galway. Some of what we got around to was the suss with accommodation, part time jobs, Christmas Day, Rag Week and much more.

What really struck me during this chat was the culture that being a college student in Galway seems to have. It sounds more like being in a big town rather than a city and it has quite an open feel. From listening to stories of nights out and how they made random friends, it's clear to see that Galway really is a student town with a welcoming undertone.

Once again I really enjoyed talking with some of my mates about better times back in college. It was actually hard to wrap up the chat in the end as they kept thinking of more stories and things to talk about. Even parts like the craic at Spanish Arch didn't get in ! Overall it was a very enjoyable chat and there's definitely some tips in here for any student thinking about going to Galway or even just going out in Galway.
