Kildalton Agriculture College

thelmascanl

Hey Guys,

Am hoping you can help. I have applied for Kildalton agriculture college, which I am hoping to get, I am just wondering if anyone can give me info on where people normally live when they go here as it seems quite remote and they have a very limited number of accomodation on site. However if I do not decided to live at the college would I need to drive to be able to get to college every day??

Thanks Guys

Try your best to get college accomidation as that's how you really get to know the rest of the equines .
If not try get a house with a few lads or girls you'll know, then seeing as your not let alcohol on campus or make lots of noise all the rest that live on campus will head to your house on a Wednesday night.
If you don't get college accommodation ring the college office and they will give you a list of land lords that have houses to rent.

Hope that helps.
I finished up in Kildalton 2 yrs ago so know how things are ran

Were you at the open day today? Were you impressed?
Some guys rent a house in waterford and drive out, might not be the cheapest because of the amount of fuel you,d burn but waterford has the nightlife, which is great craic

When I was in the dorm in the late 90s it was like Guantanamo. I packed up at Xmas and bunked in with some of the lads in Waterford. Driving was expensive but the nightlife and craic made up for it.

Ye there not great now tbh.
But if you and a few friends are going to kilDalton. Get a house in the village or in temples.
You won't be in college for ever so make the best of it is all I can say.
And don't pay too much attention to JR is all I can say

You could get up early at home milk and then go. Would that be a runner?

What fun would that be
In my second year I used to get up at half 5 on a Monday and Wednesday morning to milk for a lad in Carrick.
Helped aid the beer fund.

Think things have changed for the better there since the late 90's when i was there. Luckily i was put in digs outside the the prison walls. back then you had to do study for 2 hrs like in boarding school. I had a car luckily so drove the lads to waterford every wednesday night then up at 6.30am to get back so the lads could sneak back in. If you were caught you were suspended for week. Woman in digs was strict enough but used to tell her i was on lambing duty.

So my advice is to stay anywhere but the college. And preferably in waterford. As the fillies in the big city will open your eyes. And any luck your fly as well

Ah its nothing like that at all now. They let ye do what ye want basicly.
All equines on too floor now
Ye living outside is still the better option

Hey to the OP are you attending Kildalton now? We're thinking about moving from the South up that way this year so I'm curious how you got on?
