i would recommend college fields on campus if you in the cork road campus under no circumsatnaes go to manor village, if you down in the other campus go to one of the flats near teso polberrry ok or riverwalk

What are College Fields like anyway?

FionaDikkenberg

hi. you'll be on the cork road campus. college fields is on campus. havnt heard great things about it. steer clear of ballybeg! templars hall is a housing estate full of student houses, its pretty cheap and easy to find something there. its a 5 minute walk from college. there is another housing estate behind it, i dont know what its called but its a bit quieter and rent is pretty cheap too. Lismore is behing the college but thats pretty much all digs. Clairemount is beside the college and there are a few student houses there too. thats pretty much it around the college. if your looking for somewhere closer to town (20 minute walk from college) try: manor village. Raliway square. Aylesbury Manor. The gardens. De bruin court.
thats all i can think of! hope it helps!

The rents are fairly cheap in Ballybeg:rolleyes:

your so lucky, Waterford is brilliant. I would suggest campus accomodation, manor village, not river walk cos that's where you'll meet the most new people. I will never forget my first few weeks here, drinking cans with strangers. You have so much to look forward to!! Enjoy! :D:D

louise_w

oh sorry I thought you were a fresher I didn't read your post at all! DO NOT GO TO MANOR VILLAGE (unless you enjoy hanging out with drunk 17 yr olds!) My bad sorry! Yeag college fields is decent, check daft.ie, any thing on the dunmore road will be quieter if that's what you want rather than in the middle of the big student centres. Railway Square is good too and bout 15 mins walk to campus

On a similar note...

Myself and a classmate are looking for a gaff for 2nd yr, we're both in college st... (yeah i know how unprepared of us to leave it this late, but f**k it we're lazy!)

Lookin into 2 bed appartments (but they'll be the size of match boxes), so if there are people that wanna house share drop me a PM

Sparkles:) xxxxxx

cheers guys, LOADS of info there, at least I know where my campus is now, will pop down to galway for a bit of a look...if anyone else thinking about living into outside accomodation just send me a message...i have an xbox 360 :rolleyes: and NO i dont usually spend my time hanging out with drunk 17 year olds :P

Sparkles:)

You probably got a load of peoples hopes up their

If you want to take a male, ask the OP.

Otherwise, put up a few notices around the college.

Anybody looking to house share, ive seen a couple of houses on templers hall and judging by the sounds of Manor I dont really want to end up there

If ya have any mates looking, if ya can PM me their number and we can sort something out. Cheers peeps.

i got river walk booked again for my 2nd yr, but im dreading going back, i hate my course and not too keen about waterford either

Sparkles:)

@Yapamillias check out Daft sharing my friend and i found our gaff on there =D Living in templars!!!

xx

@imported_guy, hey sugar, if you don't like the course or waterford you should just change no point doing something you don't want to =D or you could always tranfer to another course...

though living in riverwalk again?! i'd rather chew glass

Sparkles xxxxxxxxxx

Yapamillias

hiya, yeah ive always wanted to do medicine, so im applying to places like saba in carrabien and poland and stuff, but if that doesnt work out im just gona find like a studio appartment, grind out rest of the 3 years (i love the teachers i dunno what just got into me that i dont like it anymore lol its probably just a phase, i passed everything no repeats) and then do GAMSAT apply to rcsi and stuff

Sparkles:)

Yapamillias waterford is a lovely town... do not let anyone tell you its a city, but its a really nice place, people are friendly and night life is great! =D not to meantion the coolest most super awesome person goes to college there =D and we wont even get into my modesty!!! =D

imported_guy best of luck with it anyway, you might fall in love witht the course this year ya never know

Waterford is a City, not a town. Dont make me pull out the facts to prove it!

Pfft. Dubs and their "We are the only city!" ****e

Sparkles:)

I'll have you know i am from cork...

and it just dawned on me yapamillias called me sparks... hmmm

Im in the same boat. I'll be doing 4th year down there. Thought I had accomodation but it fell through. I dont know the area at all. Where would be the best place to start looking at this stage?

Sparkles:)

What campus are you in do you know?! (if not what's your course?)

pd101

I didnt even know there were different campus's . Its an architectural technology course.

Sparkles:)

Its ok... poor college st...

You're on the cork road campus (main campus)


Daft sharing is a handy auld number to be hones, parking in the main campus is a joke, walk or cycle to college.

templars, lismore park, brownes rd. have alot of student houses, i dont think they're exactly party central myself but 4th year is important so maybe stay away from templars

Sparkles! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

ps i cannot believe i forgot to put kisses in my last post :O

Even worse then the Dubs. Cork folk think they are the only city in Ireland

Dont forget folks - good few advertisements up around the college for accommodation. So pop down, take a few numbers and make a few calls!

I take exception to that

Sparkles (no kisses :P)
