I went to Dundalk rtc in '97, on one side you have the carrolls cig factory & then ther other you have the brewery blowing the fupin stinkin smell over the town...na too plesent...there are a good few bars in the town but its a good 20mins walk, in all fairness you either hate the place or love, I fupin hated the place, I was doin computers & the Lecturers were crap but it might have changed since, I even hear they have a bar on campus.

2 facts for you:

1. highest rate of school girl pregnacy in ireland (maybe due to the short skirts or a school right beside the college)

2. the highest rate of leukemia in Ireland (sellafield only 60miles away & the cig factory I presume)

you decide

I'm going to it anyway for the craic... I know lots of people who go there so it should be good fun. I hear the lecturers were bollocks a few years ago like phoenix said but I heard that has all changed.

i think carrolls cig factory was bought by the college.

the brewery is at the other end of town, the smell is only really bad if you are going to the train station. trust me, smells worse if you have a bad hangover

all the decent bars are up in the town so its at least a 20min walk from the college. since last year the bar on the campus opened, so you wont have too far to travel for a few pints.

Carrols factory has been bought by the college and is in development to create a bigger campus.

as for the brewry is was under the impression that it closed(afaik), maybe not, I`v lived in Dundalk for 2 years, never heard of any bad smell.

theres abar open oin campus, and there is another bar(the malt house - nyom nyom)5 mins away.

2. the highest rate of leukemia in Ireland (sellafield only 60miles away & the cig factory I presume)

cif factory closed, sellafield thing applies more to people who were born and reared here during 60/70`s afaik

I love the place, nites out are pretty good, course is good as well, lecturers are grand(there are ****ty ones but you get that in most places).
