    I did my undergrad in nuig and took a year out, now I'm goin back to do a MA I used to walk to college but I now own a car so I'll be driving, I never paid any attention to parking on campus, which carparks can students actually park in and where am I likely to find parking? If I'm not in at 9 will I get parking? And from personal experience can anyone tell me if travelling in from t thanks!he Menlo/castlelawn/tirellan direction if goin over the quince etc at 9amish would I be stuck in traffic for ages? Thanks!

    You'll be driving to college purely because you own a car?

    Hey there, welcome back!
    Parking on campus after 8.45 am is very difficult. I wait until after the chaos of the school run in the morning and head straight for the park and ride facility out in Dangan. There is a very reliable bus service every 15 mins and it totally takes the stress out of wandering around carparks looking for non-existent spaces. If you're an early bird and in c. 8.30 am, you'll get student parking on the tennis court carpark (opposite Quad) or unsurfaced carpark at end of Distillery Rd beside river.
    If you're around May - Aug, there's no problem at any time.
    Good luck.

    Dont bother driving to campus if you live within a 20 min walk. If you're parking out in Dangan and have to rely on the bus it'll be faster to walk from home.

    It sounds like you live close by. Would you not cycle or just walk? I know driving is great, but honestly the traffic is horrendous during weekdays and not worth it (financially/time etc) IMO if you have an alternative.
