    im doing art. one word for Cuirt Na Rasai= s*hit, especially if your doing art!!!....way to far away. youll have a load of fun though, art college is great.:)

    I'd stayed there one year.

    Better then Glasnan any day imo.

    Sure it's a 20 minute walk.
    You could fast walk it in less then 15 minutes. Cycle it in 7 minutes.

    Eh, I wouldn't rely on the bus service.
    And as for walking through Castlepark I did for three years and never an issue, not at any hour

    And this was back when Hillside was still a halting site and there was no housing there

    Ah I dont really care to be honest, I left it late to get accomodation & it looks real nice.

    Ive no problem with walking, it'll save me money anyway! :p

    Can't wait just to get down there and meet a few more people.

    you will have to walk about 40 mins to the art college though!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 161 ✭✭yeah?


    Or await on an unrelyable bus.. this is how it appears.

    Haha I can't change my accomodation now & Im not really bothered :)
    Thanks for the tip about the walking & stuff though.
    I'll go for the bus when its on time to save my legs. :)

    well I hope you dont have to wait 30 minutes for a bus like I did, hopefully the rain stays away too.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 161 ✭✭yeah?


    Haha Knowing my luck It'll rain & be late.. Oh well :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 257 ✭✭sells


    shhh, dont jynx it.;)

    I had that carefree 'sure I left it late to get accommodation so screw it,I'll take anything' attitude last year,and it will seem grand at first.

    Just wait until your waiting 30mins for a bus in the freezing, pissing rain and then you'll realise you made a bad desicion to stay at Cuirt na Rasai.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 161 ✭✭yeah?


    Wow.. everybody seems to hate the place.
    Is it just cause of the bus?

    Its way too far away, even to go for a night out in the town. the apartments arent very big either.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 161 ✭✭yeah?


    At least I can make that judgement next year...I guess I made the mistake this year...

    It's not about the place in itself,its actually very nice,warm, comfortable good(ish) broadband, it would be excellent for students who have cars, but if not I would not recommend it because its miles away from GMIT,just my 2 cents. Plus taxi's from Eyre Square are E10+,so this add's up aswell during nights out in the year ;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 161 ✭✭yeah?


    Cheers for the note on it there.

    Thats a lot cheaper then what Im payin for taxi's here :)
    Im sure I wont care when Im in a state coming out of a nightclub :P


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,680 ✭✭✭Skyuser


    I'm staying in Cuirt Na Rasai. If your lucky you might be my neighbour and i'll give you lift in my car.
    Oh no wait, you're from Meath....they bet Mayo.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 161 ✭✭yeah?


    Awh come on, Im a nice person! :P I deserve lifts..

    And I honestly dont think a team winning a match should reflect on me :P Be nice now! :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,680 ✭✭✭Skyuser


    hmm i'll think about it....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9 KeepOnPimpin'


    i'm living there it is far away but 1 of my friends i'm living with has a car and doesn't drink. BOOYA!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 161 ✭✭yeah?


    Ugh Im really considering stealing my brothers car now..

    Or just making friends with you too :P

    Its not too far away though right? I mean the accomodation looks pretty sweet! I just cant wait to get away from this place so anything will do :P
