    I've UL as my first choice for next year but I live in donegal so it's pretty far away!
    I know that Feda runs from killybegs or donegal town to Galway and then you get bus eireann or something to limerick then? But it takes ages it seems?

    A person from the town who graduated from UL 2yrs ago used to get a private bus down which she found really handy! And held down her weekend job bcos its timetables were very suited! Which I also wanna do!

    Mc Gowans I think ? Anyone have any info on it? Or know where I would get info??

    Anything would be much appreciated! :D

    There's a private bus that goes from donegal (sorry don't know where in donegal) to Limerick through Roscommon and Athlone. Fairly affordable aswell I get if for €9 to Athlone. Don't have the number for it but I can post it near the start of the year, when I get it, if you want.

    Such a long journey to go by bus every weekend, if you have a weekend job fair enough, otherwise just stay in Limerick for the weekend, always things going on.

    Anytime I stayed up I was bored ****less. Majority of people go home.

    Sorry should of clarified, UL itself can be rather dull during the weekend, but don't forget there is a whole city out there.

    Its kind of Irish culture to go home for the weekend, being such a small country might explain this, but when I studied in Austria, also a small country, students would go home at most once a month, guess we are just a bunch of mommy's boys and daddy's girls :-) no offence intended.

    Yeah I get what you mean it's so long of a journey!! But I'm planning on coming home every 2nd weekend just to keep up my job! If I didn't have the job I wouldn't plan on coming home except once a month! I'm not too much of a home bird really :) no offense taken!!

    McGowans go twice on a Sunday from Donegal town via Sligo, Roscommon & Athlone to UL. Very long journey on not the most comfortable of roads. Didn't take me long to decide on saving up for a car and driving myself up and down.

    Their number is 071-9641059 if you want to get times & prices from them.
