The international officer loks for the accomodation and they are pretty OK. It's good to arrive to a country that you don't know and have a bed to sleep the first night. The accomodation it's very close to the Institute but far away from town. There is a public bus to connect.

“Accomodation sucks”
Eduardo L

Engineering, 2022
OverallHousing is a big problem and even though the school tries to help students, its near to impossible to find accomodation.
The course is well thoug-out and most lectures are relevant for the course. The pandemic definitely lowered the quality of teaching in my experience, but I can't really point at university for that. GMIT has now become a Technical University which is a hige pro. In my case work placement was cancelled due to the pandemic

it's really handy because it's near the GMIT, and you can go only by walk, and moreover the houses are pretty big...
