Have a friend doing it, apart from him saying the exams this week were brutal he seems really happy doing it. He used to study Computer Science and hated it. That's all I know but I've heard good things about it.

philtaylor

cheers what you doing yourself , think about commuting there but don't fancy leavin the pub with no way to get home .

ClareBear

Science. Where would you be commuting from if you do come here? I say move to Maynooth, more craic. See what college life is really all about.

i'm doing finance and venture management, really like the course. great diversity in it - economics etc. media, organisational behaviour and psychology... comp science is tricky enough - its one of those things you either get or you don't, but you can do engineering or bioscience either. when you start term round the 20th september you have until mid october for to decide which one of the three you're DEFINITELY gonna do, so if you did do the course you don't have to be lumbered with one you find difficult.

i'd recommend it anyway, i lovvvvve it. recommend moving here aswell, between taxis home and trains/buses into college, you're not saving THAT much by staying at home imo.

I'm also doin' Venture Management at Maynooth . It's a really good and like purplepolkadot said what you learn in it is very diverse. However I would say that it was a bit slow at the start but the speed in which the lecturers are teaching us seems to be increasing.

As regard not livin' on campus, you'ill prob miss out alot on the spontanous nights out drinkin' with ur classmates in Maynooth. Also the last train home is at 1115 :mad: , so you really dont have much time before you have to go. However I live up the road in Clonsilla and taxies dont cost that much if theres a group of you. It usually costs me about 5e. Personally I'd rather live at home but if you have to travel for more then an hour and half, I'd live on campus

Cheers Lads for all the info . Yeah would probably do the I.T with the Venture Management . The course look class . Covers alot .
I will getting the train in from Lusk to Connolly and then Connolly onwards .

However I heard there is a bus link or something from Balbriggan which might be faster.

Lads what the situation on accommodation and price.

Cheers again for all the help,

Nearly everyone I know that had to originally get two trains to maynooth(btw like you they lived in Dublin), have moved to maynooth or are really considering moving closer now, so maybe livin' in maynooth might be the better option.

you'd be paying round 65 - 75 a week depending on how many's sharing and if you have a single room, en suite etc. usually doesn't include bills, you'd have no probs finding a house though as there's LOADS and news ones and all that jazz. know a guy who's commuting from rush, by car(!!) and its still a bugger (that's near lusk...in the map in my head anyways...)
best of luck anyways.
