    I live in Knocknacarra also yop!

    I'm heading over to NUIG doing an M.Sc. this Sept. But fortunately I can kip under my parents roof while money is tight. I know plenty of people coming to NUIG this year, and have been looking around for places to stay.

    The rent tends to be around the €65pw mark, and that generally doesn't include heat/electricity/etc. A deposit of a month in advance is usually required also.

    A friend of mine who is coming to galway studying film (GMIT Arts college). It was €60pw, all bills included, €100 deposit :eek: (I couldn't believe it). But the catch was that it was from old people, that were very strict, and they would be staying in the house also, but it was on a self catering basis, with other students. But he got his own room and all that, and it's 5 mins walk to the college through Wellpark. But I don't know if he is going to take it or not, coz there is so much stuff he can't do in the house, he would have to make a serious concious effort not to break any rules. I'm sure I broke about 5 or 6 of them by standing the hallway in the house, waiting for him to sort something out.

    On the otherhand it's not uncommon for students in Galway to pay €75-80+pw. It all depends on where the house is, and how old the land(lord/lady) is :p
