Student Comments
Gort Na Coiribe is a lovely student village situated in a convenient and lively part of Galway. It is a quick 10 minute walk from the University of Galway and many shopping complexes are also located within walking distance. The very helpful staff are welcoming and informative and the village feels safe and comfortable with on site security. The houses are practical and very accommodating for students with built in desks in each room. The facilities within the village, such as the laundrettes, are also extremely useful and beneficial. Gort Na Coiribe is a fun and pleasant accommodation for students.

I am a student who loves living in the accommodation of Gort Na Coribe. My journey to college takes about a ten minute walk and I can easily go back to Gort during the breaks between my classes. The accommodation itself is very clean and tidy, with many useful facilities such as the laundry room and bin sheds. If there ever is an issue with the accommodation, once logged into the student portal, maintenance have no problem with ensuring that the issue is resolved. Gort Na Coribe is the perfect distance from Galway’s city centre, with Dunnes stores and Tesco being nearby for when you need to do a grocery shop. The receptionists are very kind and helpful, ensuring that your stay here is enjoyable and comfortable! Overall, I eagerly recommend Gort Na Coribe as the perfect student accommodation for someone to live in during the duration of their time in college!

The best thing about living in Gort Na Coiribe was the location. Everything was so nearby, also the apartments itself were quite comfortable. I really can’t think of anything to make it more enjoyable, everything was great.

I moved into Gort na Coiribe at the start of this year and have continued to enjoy my stay here over this duration. It is a great student village with a friendly and safe atmosphere around the complex. It is located very well with shopping complexes just down the road and it is within walking distance of places like Eyre Square and the Sports Ground. It has very good facilities, in fact some of the best that I have seen from a student accommodation. The on site launderette is very helpful for the weekends when you cant get home. Finally all the staff in Gort na Cioribe are very helpful from the on site security team to the Ladies on reception.

Since arriving at Gort na Coiribe, administration and security has made me feel both welcomed and secured, quickly and efficiently answering any questions I might have. The centralized location has made commuting to university easier and shopping for supplies and food more convenient.
The rooms occupied so far have been a decent size for me to live and conduct studies without frustration or interruption.
It also surprisingly works to help meet new people studying from home and abroad, encouraging more cooperation and self motivation to keep up housework, to teach self reliance needed.
