B&B's are right beside the school all along college road, just up from the bus/train station which is a 2 minute walk away.

Some serve dinners, others don't.
Prices range from 125 to 165, if I remember correctly. This usually depends on if you are getting dinners and if you are sharing/stayin in your own room.

As for Yeats itself, it is a tough transition, but just keep your head down and do your work on time, study what your told and always be organised and you should be fine.
The teachers are very good and helpful. They are great for giving you time and if you ask, they may give you a grind/talk with you about something.

They are very strict on exams which are treated seriously. Towards the end of the year they send home letters telling your parents if you aren't doing well in a subject.
At any stage throughout the year, they *may* send a text message home if you haven't your homework done/learnt.

Homework in Yeats almost always includes learning off notes of some sort. It's worth the effort though and if you just do as your told, you should have no problem there and in the LC.

Hope this helps.
