    Don't know about ye, but sorting out accommodation was one of the most stressful parts of this whole college business. Nearly in tears by the end, it was so frustrating!

    the accomodation is terrible to find. no one answers the bloody phones or emails... then the rooms are gone and no one takes off the ad's. UGH!!

    I found 2 rooms which I'm checking out tomorrow. one in Ballinode about 3 min drive from college and another in Cartron which is 20 min drive... I've looked on daft.ie and rent.ie... the student villages didnt really suit... I think there are more rooms in the places I'm looking at tomorrow if u wanna give em a go..

    Use google maps to see where the houses are. If the house is in Cartron, then it is about a 15 minute walk. If the drive is 20 minutes, then either the house is not in Cartron or their car was stuck in first. It's 30 minutes to Boyle fgs. Looking forward to archaeology myself.
    Walking in Sligo may be easier for a number of reasons - car park is smaller this year due to construction, it's a smallish town, and everyone trying to get in and out at the same time may leave drivers sitting in their cars for some time. I will be driving, but I live in another county.

    the other place is in Glencarrig Ballinode, so it's super close and lovely looking. I went up and saw it yesterday and loved it!! there's a twin room still available (I took the other :P ) and its 60 a week... if u wouldn't mind sharing try it, cause it really is quite nice!! the landlord is really nice too!
