If you have the opportunity, studying abroad at NUIG has the potential to change your life—not because of its walls, but because of the people who pass within them. Get ready to have friends from Italy, Denmark, Germany, Spain, Saudia Arabia, Botswana…Join the international society, the mountaineering club(which hike the hills of ireland on the weekend), the writers soc(which has murder mystery weekends..complete with victorian dress!). It’s been two years since i attended and I still keep in touch with many a friend from my brief semester.
