Finding Your Way

We know that the campus can seem big and confusing at first. Not to worry – our Student Ambassadors will be on hand to help you get from A to B. Remember to allow yourself plenty of time to arrive and find the first venue on your welcome schedule. Our interactive campus map can come in handy when finding buildings and lecture halls.

Calm Zone

Where: Bank of Ireland Theatre, close to Áras na Mac Leinn,
When: 9am - 7pm

The Calm Zone is a space to chill out, escape from sensory stress and overload, and 'just be' while you settle into your first few days on campus. You'll receive a lot of information, meet lots of new people and experience a new environment during the Orientation Programme.

It's completely understandable if you feel a little overwhelmed at times, and need to take a break from the information sessions and social events. If you do, feel free to leave the session and come to the Calm Zone and relax on bean bags in a softly lit sanctuary, have a cup of tea or juice, do some arts and crafts, play cards and board games, and chat - or not if you don't feel like it, that's fine too.

The Calm Zone is supported by our community partners, the Galway Autism Partnership.
