IFSA: National University of Ireland, Galway Partnership
In cooperation with IFSA, qualified Whitman students may attend the National University of Ireland, Galway, in the Republic of Ireland. Located on the west coast of Ireland in a region where traditional Irish language and culture still flourish, the University offers students a chance to study with Irish students in a congenial and picturesque university town.
“Galway City is absolutely, positively beautiful. It’s got swans and shorelines in abundance, plus a surging/frothing river (Corrib) ripping right through the center of town. There’s a single ‘shop street’ teeming with cozy quaint pubs and street musicians...And the people were friendly. I once was walking to the post office, tottering and stumbling about under a ginormous pile of packages, when a girl on a bike pulled over and offered to share my burden. And this happened twice on the same trip!” - Zenora L. ‘17
