where is centre point?
is it in the liosbaun industrial estate?

a "short distance" from the college! lol!! its a least a 30 minute walk from there, more when its windy, rain
those apartments where originally built at the boom for upmarket types, professionals with cars, now that they cant sell them
they have rebranded it as student accomendation.
This place would be just about ok for gmit but nuig! no way

Just thinking about the walk to college, horrible horrible walk in store for ya, you'l have to walk down the back of the estate
across to castlelawn heights, down the dyke road to the bridge, cross the bridge into college. on a good day that 30minutes at a good pace. That entire walk is completly exposed to the elements and it rains alot in galway.

the bus, youll have to walk back up to the statoil/cemetary and wait for a bus, if and when one comes, into eyre square, another wait and then it heads out to the university raod, not to bad but will also take at least 30 minutes

seriously if you still can, get somewhere else, newcastle area or west side of the river, but not in the liosbaun industrial estate!

Same here! Moving up tomorrow! Doing Arts!:) Only thing is I'm getting a bus up from Kerry, earliest being half 9 in the morning and it arrives in Galway bus station quarter to 2 so I'd never make it for office closing hours 2 o'clock...called them up this morning and gotta go to gort na coiribe first to pick up my key, and then head up to centrepoint! With 3 big bags! I'll sooo be in need of a good brew!:D

I was there for 2006-2007, it's miles from college! Got a bike but still ****. It's only acceptable if you've a car. I was in 4th year but all first years I lived with hated it, it's in a fcuking industrial estate! Unless you get a seriously boozy crowd the craic won't be great, basically I just slept there, spent all my chilling time in gort/dun/cuirt na coiribe which was where all the fun was back in my day.

jighooligan

Casper we'll be around tonight if ya wanna call to 42.
Think we might be headin out to Corrib village but sure come with us:D
