I lived in Kilmurry first year and would reccomend it.
PRO's: Close to college, plenty of first years, chance of a double bed (1 in 4) Good social spot. friendly staff (just dont annoy them too much!! :P)
CON's: Fridge was too small for 8 people...freezer was even smaller. Security is NOT as good as people think. My car got broken into parked DIRECTLY under a camera. I was told afterwards that it was a fake camera and it future to park it down further..was not impressed. But still wasn't their fault.
Also, from a food point of view, Plassey has a shop right beside it as well as a Chinese where as KM has no shop. We used to have the gap behind KM and walk down the fields to the lodge but that's closed now so one less thing to get excited about.

Our house was broken into rag week aswell and we were told the exact same thing, that the cameras were fake and there was nothing they were gonna do for us. A load of bollix really.0 -

Plassey and Kilmurry are pretty similar, I wouldn't fret over the small differences between the two houses. On the double bed luck, I never got one so no point banking your luck on that.
Communities are fine, Plassey a little bit younger but mostly the same kind of people. Security a little bit more chilled with having friends over late, playing music etc than they were in Thomond/Dromroe. Kilmurry is a bit handier for walking distance, shorter to get to most places and right beside the sporting facilities if you're into that. Being able to leave the house at 8:45 and still make class on time instead of 8:30 was a pretty big selling point for me.
Big difference between living in Kilmurry and Thomond for me was the amount of interfering the management do. Regular notices on your fridge, a lot of knocks on your door with "Oh we're checking this", loads of attempts at community evenings that they say "are compulsory" but I never went to them anyway. Worst was one christmas break they mailed all our families photos of our kitchen which they obviously weren't happy with. It was messy but hardly in disrepair, teabag stains down the walls, some empty bottles lying around that kind of thing. Seemed like a bit of an unnecessary step to get parents involved when they hadn't even told us they were unhappy with the place.

my daughter stayed in kilmurry village last year and i have to say she loved it, but the only problem seems to be the common problem the atitude of the village manager towards her and her frends there is no need for it at all, it cost alot to stay there with out that nonsence
