Realistic Cost of Living

Latitude94 · 2016-11-01 00:55:14

Can someone give me a realistic cost of living in Galway, Corrib Village to be specific? I'm hoping to go next year and I'll get the grant of €5900 odd and I want to know if i should be taking out a loan or if this alone will be enough.

This suggests approximately 11000-12000 over 9 months

It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

Also consider travel costs to and from Galway - Bus, train, etc.
