My stay in Galway was quite amazing because I didn't expect anything like it, but after a couple of days I was totally happy with my decision to stay in Galway rather than Dublin. Galway is a pretty city where you can find everything whenever you want. Nice pubs, restaurants, stores and especially friendly and kind people who try to speak with you even if you don't speak English properly. I do recommend Galway for spending time studying and getting to know yourself.
