Definitely worth joining this college.
Tips: Be ready to miss your family and friends. However you can transform your life, meet new friends, habituate to a new culture and weather. I loved my university life and course. I didn't get any scholarship but people in other courses got scholarships. Course duration should be more than 12 months to get a scholarship.
Likes (Safety): I've never faced any issues to date in Ireland. Apart from campus security, the University of Galway provides emergency call points, good lighting, ID card access to buildings, and wellbeing support services. Galway is a friendly city and I mostly felt safe, though busy areas at night can sometimes feel uncomfortable because of a few junkies.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Limited Indian restaurants and can't expect taste like India. You can feel expensive if you are a student. But once or twice a month you can go. We can also find Indian grocery stores but a bit expensive. We can get all types of vegetables. Students can try part time jobs in these restaurants.

Best place to gain domain knowledge and the industry.
Tips: There was a culture shift. The way of teaching is very different from India here. It is more of practical oriented here. Though I didn’t avail the scholarship, I did the teaching assistantship at university which was a very good learning experience.
Dislikes (Internships): There is not much support from the career center for internships as that of full time job. Availability of the role and market at that time. For students I would suggest coming here with some amount of work experience. Career Cell should conduct more guidance events.

A good university covering all the courses of almost all fields.
Tips: Students can feel the courses here as hectic as all of them are mostly one year programs and it was a culture shock to me too. I didn't get any scholarship. I am satisfied with the university and the country, but I felt my course fee was a little bit on the higher side.
Likes (Public transportation): The campus is very well connected, in fact it is in the middle of the city. All modes of transport are available like buses and trains and their frequency is also good. Students can avail all the public transport options at half the rate that local has to pay.
Dislikes (Internships): My course didn't have an internship option while other finance courses have it. Guidance is available for those who have the option as part of their course. The students who got the internship have indeed got them in their field of study and later some of them converted them into full time opportunities.

Good university and excellent courses.
Tips: The curricula of some courses are hectic, as most of them are 1 year programs.
I didn't get any scholarship.
My course was for 8 months since I got an exemption for 1 semester, but I felt the fee I paid for that period was a little bit on the higher side. The country has both pros and cons, the pros being that most people are welcoming and friendly, the con being cost of living is too high.
Likes (Public transportation): The city has all modes of transport like buses and trains and the frequency of them is also good. Almost every bus in the city is connected to the university.
Students can avail the benefit of Student Leap cards which would provide them the transport at half the rate that local people pay.
Dislikes (Internships): My course does not have any internship option but some other courses such as finance, have that option and the university has the internship support and a few of the students got their internship through that support and a few of those internships also turned into permanent employment.

Highly qualified faculty.
Tips: I think it’s a decent university in Ireland with good facilities and good faculty. The city is really good. The university is located in the central part of the city which makes it accessible as well. There are lots of growth opportunities as well. Good experiences.
