    There's is a rugby club in the college, I actually take part in it and it's really good. Had a good season, just lost out in points in the end. Plus we find any excuse to go out for a drink haha. There's every sport really, and the gym is fairly good. Not the biggest gym but it's cheap enough (110 for both semesters).

    I've come across a few dublin students actually, it's mostly Donegal and Mayo students.

    The main selling points are, it's a really good town, especially during rag week when it's mental! Always a good buzz. You're close to everything, depending on where you move in to. The lecturers are very good and they'll do more than their best to help you through. what course you going into?

    All science courses are really good! They have a big enough lab for the physiology and health science crowd, i'm doing pharmaceutical science, but all first year science class are similar, so they cover the fundamentals of biology, chemistry and physics and there's about 9 hours of lab work a week. but i think ye might be covering different stuff, meant to be a good course though

    there's three student accomodation places located near the college, you can get details of that on the site. i lived in private accomodation out in cartron, and i'd advise you against the place, got robbed twice. Moving more central this year, but i'll still be close to the college. if you live on the college campus, you're only about 8 minute walk from tesco and everything the town can offer really. the train station is about a 12 minute walk and it's just above the bus station.
