    I'm doing Creative Writing for Digital Media and was wondering if that's based around the north or south campus? Want to know so i can try and sort accommodation relatively nearby. :)

    Where does the shuttle bus stop at for north campus? and how much does it cost

    shuttle bus starts at kingcourt and goes around the town
    can be found here: http://www.kennedycoaches.com/ITT%20Coach%20timetable%2010-11%20rev.pdf

    it cost 1.50 per trip. so prob 3.00 per day. other option is a bike!

    Hey!

    You have Coisceim right beside North Campus where the course is based. It's literally a minutes walk to the college!

    There's Kerry Lee as well which is just down the road from the college but closer to the shops and town.

    They would be the too closest accommodations.

    Does anyone know if it's worth buying a bike to get around?

    If you can't drive, then yes, I would definitely recommend it. There's a bus which is 3 euro up and down a day so you'd be saving yourself money if you bought a decent bike. Though cycling in the winter is a nightmare...your clothes get destroyed in the rain and mud haha

    Thanks I'll definitely look into it! And does anyone know anything about registration? I accepted the offer on the 19th but haven't got any email or letter from Tralee!

    Wait a little while different orientation schedules for different courses so you could be in much later in week.

    It's just an assessment to make sure you're fit enough for the course because apparently it involves some strenuous activity :)
