Corporate law hopefully!! cant wait to get to galway!! you moving to galway too?? im going to corrib village, against my better judgement but i imagine it will be great!

english4490 · 22-03-2009 2:40pm

ya i am the very same! i have a few friends, some of them are down to stay in the same house, but i didn put anyones name down, i'd rather just live in a house of newbies and see how it goes, and still have friends across the street!! ya its just for 1st yr after that houses all the way i hope!! i applied for corrib weeks ago, after cuirt na coribe and gort na coribe were booked out! and all the others were way to far out for my liking!

english4490 · 22-03-2009 2:57pm

oh i know what you mean! i just hope i am living with people that are easy to get along with! by the time i booked the ensuite rooms were gone, so i have a standard room! i am not too pushed bout no en suite as long as there aint people hogging the bathroom all morning, but i could not share a room with a stranger, or anyone for that matter, i have never shared a room and dont intend to start now!!

english4490 · 22-03-2009 3:08pm

well i am down in tipp so castlebar is a bit... far for me! but yep i was at openday in october and i will be going to the one in april! just hope it dont rain all day again!!! ya its the one thing that annoys me, cos i like having people over an staying at friends! i have a few friends in UL and Mary I and we have never had any problems stayin in there, so i hope there is some way to work around it besides putting them in the boot of a taxi as one student suggested to me at the open day!

I have Galway down 3rd on my CAO, for medicine.
There's a fairly high chance of me ending up up there, but I eh, haven't booked anything.
Haven't even thought of booking anything.
In fact, I haven't even seen NUIG before.

It's wayyyyy too far away from home to go up and have a random look around, if I do go there I'd imagine I'll only be coming home on a very very seldom basis.

So if I do go there, I'm just hoping I'll find something! I'm not too fussy anyway I suppose...

ya i heard that too, wonder how my friends will take being told theyl have to lie in the boot of the car to get in soo...what made ya choose galway?! I wanna hear as much good stuff about it before i go there....had my heart set on dublin for ages but suppose galway is closer, cheaper, all that

ya i know how you feel!! amm.. well i was fairly set on ucc, but i just decided galway is nicer in my opinion, the campus is near the middle of the city which is great! and galway in general is such a nice city and just gives off a good vibe, and ive been in galway for a week or so for race week for the last few years and it is just a cool place to be! and the neew train line from limerick up to galway should be ready by sept so no bus for me!!!

Hey, thought this might be of interest to you, if you do end up there.

galway is my 2nd choice and I'm expecting to end up there, and I have nowhere booked either. I dunno, I think I'm too laid-back. I've never been to the college either :P I live reaaaaaaaaaaaally far away

bythewoods · 22-03-2009 5:01pm

Yeah, I'm from Wexford so, SUCKS.

I'd have to go Wexford-Dublin and then Dublin- Galway, or else Wexford- Limerick and Limerick- Galway.

Wexford-Limerick would be the better route to Galway.

Dunno why i havnt been there more often, its only 2 hours away whereas dublin is 4 and ive been there loads! But ya, im gunna hav to trust ya about the vibe of the place! As for shopping...?

jefreywithonef · 23-03-2009 8:13pm

Arts. *insert some sort of embarrassed-looking smiley*

Haven't done anything about accomodation either, although I'm still not sure whether to go with Arts in Galway or Arts in UCD. NUIG Open Day next month might help me decide.

Definitely English, History and Philosophy. Not too sure about the fourth. The good thing about Galway though is that they allow you to attend any of the arts seminars during the first two weeks.

Nuig.. Starting in Sept 2009??
