Do you attend Kildalton college & drive there from Kilkenny? If Yes, Please Read!

Stoudy

Hey All!

I'm wondering if there's anyone here currently attending Kildaton Ag college or planning to attend there this Sept? I'm hoping to move to Kilkenny in order to enrol there but would prefer to be closer to the village & I'm wondering if anyone would be driving to Kildalton regularly that would be happy enough to let me travel with them? Obviously I will gladly chip in for petrol & may even bring you small breakfast gifts in the morning to sweeten the deal (Im usually having breakfast running out the door)
I look forward to your replies (if any, fingers crossed)

2 of us want to move up 1 wants to go to Kildaton & the other to Ormonde College so we are trying to figure out a way we could both get to college on time everyday without a car.

Sorry just realized I mis-read your comment & I cant edit my reply think its because I'm still a newbie here
Dorms are a no we have dogs & one of us would have to be travelling to Kilkenny town each day and the other to Piltown then we think its best to move mid way like Callan or somewhere so we both have the same distance to travel. So you did your degree there? Did you do Ag or Hort? Whats it like? The pics Ive seen are pretty impressive the set up there is seriously way better than CIT atm.

When you say house in the village do you mean in Piltown or Kilkenny village? How big are the classes? CIT 1st year Horts have only 11 this year! Do most students stay in the dorms or is 50:50? Sorry for all the questions

Hoping for a transfer so would be starting 2nd year. The bus travels from WIT to Kildalton 3 times a day is it? I need it going from the other direction though, Kilkenny to Kildaton. Thought it would be grand till I saw the bus route & realized the Kilkenny bus goes to Waterford then to Piltown/Kildalton! If only Santa had brought me that Lamborghini i asked for this year lol

Well that's a lot driving in and out. Surely there has to be 1 student up there who wouldnt mind his petrol costing less just to pick someone up on the way to college? We both really wanna get our asses up there but want to make sure its all feasible before making definite plans. 1 of us already hitches 35km to college 5 days a week so we're not shy to hitching (although its a pain in the ass) but would prefer to have an arrangement with someone & pay for their service

Do you have a full driving licence for a car?
