In NUI-Galway: July 18 - August 7, 2009
Dormitory-style standard room apartments are provided by NUI at Galway at the popular Corrib Village complex—a picturesque setting overlooking the river Corrib coupled with the enchantingly busy atmosphere of the Galway campus. Each apartment has a kitchen, equipped with crockery, cutlery and cooking utensils, a bathroom and a cloakroom. The living /dining area is comfortable, complete with an all-channel television, a twin bedroom with freshly laundered linen and duvets, and plenty of storage space.

Other facilities at Corrib include a reception building, café, shop crèche, laundry mat, and tennis courts. Residents of Corrib may also utilize the sports facilities at NUI including a multi-purpose sports hall, tennis and squash courts, all weather pitches and a synthetic track. There is also a gymnasium, fitness center, and health unit with saunas and changing rooms. NUI has agreed to make all of its facilities available to our students. There is a complimentary shuttle bus that runs from Eyre Square to Corrib Village. Registrants must indicate if they have any special needs for housing and other program services.

If you’re planning day trips, Corrib Village is a great place from which to begin visiting the scenic surroundings of Galway including Conemara, Inis Boffin Island, the Burren, the Ailwee Caves and the other sites. Students may request an extended stay at NUI at personal expense.
