    thats the most reassuring thing iv heard so far. thank you so much for responding. judging from what ive read the course seems very broad and you have a lot of post grad options.

    do you have to get your own placement or do they find it for you?

    also do you mind me asking which area of social care you work in?

    You'll be coming into the main bus stop, then you need walk up to the clock tower and get a bus from there in the Quey take the tramore bus, that will stop right outside the campus college at 3 stops from the bus stop in the quey. It's the 603 bus you need to get and it takes about 10/15 mins to get up to it depending on traffic. Hope this helps

    To be fair it is lot faster to walk to college st from the main bus station to college st.

    You get off at the bus station cross the road turn right when you see the Munster express keep going stight when hit the town turn right keep going straight on to you get to the junction where Measons and the foundry is turn right and keep going straight and you will be up to the college in about 10 - 15 mins and you save yourself 4 euros a day by not getting the bus.

    Waterford is very small and you can walk nearly everywhere in it. Its possible to walk from the centre of town to the main WIT building in less then 25 mins and that's about 2.5KM or more.
