    Templers Hall is possibly one of the worst estates to live in at the moment, unless you like living in a noisy environment. It consists of a mostly student resident which are known (in this estate in particular) to go mad on partys, make a mess and a load of noise. As you said, it is right beside the travellers. Some of the travellers in Waterford are getting shots taken at them, animals being injured etc. I'm sure you read the threads here or heard it in the news.

    The non-student residents are giving out mad to the Guards and to the college. They have been known to record students acting up and have protested outside on of the college events apparently. Only recently petrol bombs were thrown at a house in the estate. Saying that, other people living in the Estate will say its fine and they have had no trouble and its only really a problem towards the back. Iv been there plenty of times and never seen much of the trouble but I assume its much later in the night. Iv never heard of cars being robbed, broken into or whatever. But clearly, the estate has its problems possibly more so then others. So take that into consideration.

    If the above bothers you, there are other estates and private houses you can rent not that much further away which wouldn't be as bad. One example is Lismore Park.

    Probably the best estate for it so :D All you need now is to find house mates :P Often notices around the college bathrooms if you want to hitch with college students over waiting to find FAS students!

    Just through the bike on a chain at the back or side of the house. Doubt anyone will go to the bother of trying to rob it :p

    I hope its not the type of a place where travellers let the horses eat the grass in your front garden:D Is lismore park far from Fas?

    you're moving down in four weeks for five months and want somewhere to session all weekend? not going to happen chief, unless you know someone in a rented house who'll put you up. most of the houses near fas/w.i.t. for rent are taken from september through till may or june. a lot of the fas students tend to say in digs and go home for the weekends. if you want a place where its parties all weekend you'd probably be better off not mentioning that you'll only be there for 5 months. look into private rented accomodation, but even at that you'll probably end up sharing with folks who might not want house parties thursday till sunday. might not be the answer you're lookin for but thats what you're lookin at

    I was having a look already, theres a few places available still. I probably won't bother going home the weekends anyway. Most people who are renting down there are students so they'll more than likely go home on the weekends.
    I have a number here Im going to ring and see.
