    Arts, not sure on subjects yet.
    Could you not get the train from Cork to Dublin and commute out to Maynooth?

    You get the luas to Connolly from heuston and get the train out, usually every hour or more frequent, or get the 67 bus which takes an hour and is half as cheap

    Get involved in a few clubs and socs, you'll have plenty to do.
    There's not much in the town itself (no cinema), surprising for a student town really.

    Thanks for the info.

    I live near Liffey Valley, haven't been to it in a very long time but I remember it being overpriced and just OK as a cinema. Would be better off going to town and making a day of it.

    I live close to Clondalkin village and was about 35 minutes to Maynooth by car, so about half an hour in decent to traffic to Liffey Valley alright. :) Has a few good shops but like I said the cinema is just alright. Far better ones in city center.

    The Savoy cinema is an hour away on the bus, it's 4 quid for a student ticket on Tuesdays.

    Would there be a way back to the college if it was evening time?
    (I probably wouldn't attempt this until I'm settled which will take awhile :pac:

    Yeah would be a bus for Maynooth into town and back running up til near midnight, that is the usual time for Dublin Bus anyway. Think it is number 66 but not sure exactly. Would probably run every half hour or so, so would have no problem going to town and back. :)

    Last bus would be around 11:30, if you want to stay out later than that you'll have to befriend a jackeen so you can crash at their's. (A daunting prospect, I know :P)

    66 or 67. Also the train.
    I think the last train is 11ish and last bus is 11.30ish.

    Anyone know if there's still a nitelink at the weekend?

    Or run normal buses/trains/luas' after 11 like a proper city. Guess that's too much to ask though.

    Don't be so ridiculous! Sure all the good Irish folk are fast asleep in their beds at that stage. It's not like any of them would still be working or off having a life.
