theres no wifi but ye can get it sometimes, my apartment is close to john hume so i usually get it... every apartment is different, usually there would be 2 or 3 first years and a 3rd/final year student or maybe 2 first years a final year and an erasmus student, every apartment is different really... you wont want to go home for orientation cause you will be having a savage time, well I didnt want to when i was in first year anyway haha.... in Rye there are 4 blocks, A,B,C,D, they all have 4 floors with 2 apartments on each floor, not sure which block 1 is in though! 0 -

Get used to your new place, explore Maynooth, go out, meet new people, have great craic.
Orientation week is a good time for that kind of stuff too. You'll be more prepared once lectures start too.0 -

What course are you doing actually? yeah it's fairly easy like just monotonous, straight bus from cork to Dublin and ten train from Connolly AFAIK I'd say I'll stay for the week, otherwise people who do will know each other fairly well and ill be something of a stranger by freshers week:/ 0 -

I was in a river apartment last year. The kitchens come fairly kitted-out with microwave, toaster, kettle, oven/grill, enough plates, mugs, glasses, cutlery etc for the number of people in the apartment but no more so it doesn't hurt to bring a few of your own. There are also saucepans, frying pans and most of the utensils that you'll need, but you'll have to provide things like a grater, chopping board and strainer yourself. There is an iron and ironing board as well as a hoover, drying rack, sweeping brush, mop, dustpan and brush in the closet. The bedrooms are really left up to yourself. Apart from the basic bed and mattress, desk, chair, bin, desk lamp and wardrobe/shelves, they're completely empty. Hope this helped, best of luck! 0 -
