    When you walk out of the train station you'll eventually get to a junction with loads of traffic lights. If you turn left at those lights you'll get to south campus. If you cross straight over that road and walk up passed manor mills, in a straight line, follow the path around the back until you get to another set of lights, cross over the road and you'll see the college's north campus. It's about 4 minutes to south campus and 15 minutes to north campus :)

    Have fun, it's a lovely place! :)

    South Campus is 2 mins from the train station. Chances are if you get off there'll be a steady stream of students going to and from so it won't be hard to find. If there's not you just cross the bridge outside the train station, walk towards town and take a left at the lights for south campus or go straight ahead and take the next left for north campus.

    I get the train generally so I dunno about the bus really... The train is probably faster.

    As far as I'm aware the bus stops on the middle of the main street. Walk towards the Roost bar, to get to South campus walk straight across the road and it's right it front of you. If you're going to North campus, walk towards Dunnes and follow the rest of the directions I gave before. It's not hard and like Irish Goat says, there'll more than likely be a load of people walking in the same direction. Best of luck!

    The bus is a euro cheaper but takes a good half an hour longer at least(depending on traffic). It leaves you on the main street and from there you can see the south campus.
