hey I'd just like peoples opinions on glasan billage accommodation across from gmit.Im 22 and doing a masters but have to go to galway for a three month placement. It seems like a good location because its on the outskirts of galway and i'll need to avoid traffic for to get out to athenry...whats the accommodation generally like?is it full of mental 1st years or a good mix...I'd like to live with students the same age as me, who have to put the heads down but still enjoy the college life

Glasan is party central for 1st and 2nd years. I lived there for 3 years and then moved to gleann na ri. Glasan is ok I guess. But if you want a decent place to live, thats good craic, but is quiet, go for Gleann Na Ri.

how much is accomadation a month?

I don't think Glasán do 3 month leases. I am open to correction, but I doubt it.

in glasan the accommodation rate varies between 320 and 380 a month, depending what type of room you get. Not sure about gleann na ri

Its full of mental 1st years. Avoid it.

Why?!?! Who the hell is it bothering, it's a general Galway related question in a Galway forum!!! :rolleyes:

Back on topic, I lived there a few years ago when I was in 3rd & 4th year in college and found it grand. At the time there was a general mix of all students regarding what year they were in college. I do think you'll be doing well to get in there for 3 months though but there is no harm in asking I suppose. There are plenty of places around that area that's probably a better quality of house and cheaper rent so it's worth looking around.

It's bothering me.

OP, I've bounced this over to GMIT forum. The students there would know better than Galway general populous.

I lived there last year it is grand for first and maybe second year but if your going doing your masters I'd stay well clear of the spot.
The internet in Glasan is practically non-existent and it is 80% mad first years. The staff are also a shower of evil demons.

If I were you I would look around for someone wanting to share a house or try Belmont its nice and it is mostly 3rd years upwards and next door to the college.
Hope this Helps

I was joking, I knew it was going to be moved.

Where would people suggest for a first year? Student villages or private houses? Glasan is v expensive.
