Past Review Culture Through Galway

I learned a lot about my ability to adapt. I went to think unfamiliar country completely alone. I was able to make friends and travel with them, but I also trusted myself enough to travel alone. I appreciated how welcoming the country is and I certainly left with a more positive attitude about life, a habit I certainly picked up... A student - Marymount Manhattan College

About

Galway, with a population of 62,000, is the ideal European university town. A significant number of Galway’s population is made up of current or former college students; the resulting interdependence of town and gown has helped build a compact, thriving city that caters to young people. Galway has been enjoying an economic boom in recent times; yet, it still retains a powerful and intimate sense of community. For nearly a thousand years, Galway has been the largest and most important city in the west of Ireland. As the capital of Connemara – the outcropping of land between Lough Corrib and the Atlantic Ocean – Galway is at the heart of one of the world’s most scenic and evocative landscapes. Cultural richness is reflected by the strong academic programs in Irish Studies offered by the University, and by the lively arts scene for which Galway is renowned.
