The sheds are secure, security walk around the campus all day and they have CCTV cams looking over them.

Havent got a clue about the directions though.

hey,
I live in town and going into second year and have cycled to college on numerous occasions

First off id go on the weekend to time yourself to see, it takes me 45 mins - 1 Hour travelling from stephens green.

The quickest route (Well the one i take) is to go straight through the Phoinex Park and its basicly a straight line after that, jus need to check a map on which lefts and rights ya need to take :L

But its a bit harder going there as its a slight up hill and especially hard when ya have something on your back :P

Make sure you have a chain and it should be alright. It's pretty safe.

you have to be more worried about the traffic (try not to get killed) and if you survive to a severe cold because of the raining , you will be one of the toughest students at ITB

Or just get a big bag, and bring a spare set of clothes with you to college if its looks like rain. Then you could change in the changing room opposite the gym

If you haven't already, grab yourself a locker. You basically just buy a lock and put it on the first lock-less locker that you find, and hey presto! it's now yours

will come in handy as if you bring a change of cloths etc you wont have to carry a bag of wet cloths around all day.

Indeed. You can also get a locker in the changing room for €1 (Which as far as I remember you get back.

Get a lock/locker and leave a spare set of clothes in it.
