Only problem with the Dunaras bus is that the bus supposedly runs at awkward times for lectures.
As far as distance goes, it's about 20 walk from dunaras to college and 25 to the sparch.
Area isn't too bad apart from the apparently dodgy estates across the road.
Yea, the bus is every hour though, you get there like 5 to the hour, but it also leaves at 5 to, so you obv have to leave the lecture slightly early...it takes a break between 2 and 4, so thats kinda **** too...but the way I'm looking at it is, if i cant get a bus home, I'm more likely to go library and do something useful with my time :L
Oh really? i never heard of the dodgy estates tbh :L I was looking into Menlo till i heard something about Rapes?
my house plan with friends fell through when i didnt know about psychology offers so i was left last resort, with cuirt and gort booked out :L
25 to spanish arch? not too bad really...nearly take that from corrib village anyway haha0 -

Rahoon has a bit of a rep for having some dodgy estates, I've never lived out there so don't know!
There have been a few threads on boards over the years discussing it!
Cuirt isn't booked out according to their site?
Well I walked from the sparch to Glen dara which is near Dunaras and that took 20 minutes, just estimated the extra five minutes! 0 -

Ah fair enough :L ill steer clear so :P haha ill stick to ould Dunaras and see how it goes!!
Eh yea, i rang cuirt and they said all they had left was single rooms the non-ensuite ones, and my mam's a bit of a clean freak and won't allow me share a bathroom 'just incase, you never know' so I'm grand with my ensuite :L
Ah sure thats not too bad...is it quicker to go straight in the road to like Topaz/Centra in Newcastle area, or to go in by the hospital and take the University Road entrance to the college?? haven't actually walked out there :L0 -

Won't allow you!? Jesus somebody's posh! You rarely have to share with 1 or 2 others anyway. I've never had problems! haha
The quickest way to college would be just to keep walking towards college till ya eventually reach topaz (Well, reach the second Topaz. You pass another Topaz on the way! ) then go into college by the AIB entrance.
Quickest way to town would be to walk towards college from Dunaras for like 2 minutes. After Gleann Dara turn onto the Rahoon Road then Down Shantalla until you reach the Roisin Dubh after about 20 minutes of walking.0 -

well, you know, she wasn't happy with the idea...cuirt only had the ones with 4 people sharing...and i wasn't too pushed either, same price as dunaras like :L
ah yes, grand!! just making sure I'm not taking a long detour on the way like haha

That's the only way I know anyway.Dangan is far from everywhere! Pass by Corrib and keep walking and walking. Or you could use that lovely lane that runs behind corrib, I hear it's lovely past midnight! :cool: 0 -

At first I was all "Oh cool, other first years joining the Christian Soc and attending bible study!" but now I realise that it was all sarcasm.
Edit: Got my place in Centrepoint a few months back, don't know how I feel about sharing a twin room but I'm hoping my room mate is sound enough.
