Let’s keep our fingers crossed for more great weather this week-end and see you all tomorrow,

Hi everyone,

Floz here. Just a quick note to show we’re still alive Hope you all had a nice holiday break and that the exams are running smoothely. If you’re new here, or you will come here shortly, do not hesitate to pop us an email (see contact).

If you’re worried about finding a place to live (if your on-campus accomodation is not already sorted out), don’t worry, there’s plenty of places to stay in Maynooth, and the room-sharing market is always dynamic (so there’s always vacancies). Usually within a week of arriving here you will have found a suitable place to stay!

Until then, you can stay at (fairly) affordable prices in the Maynooth Campus Accomodation. This is what most people do. Apart from that you can also start having a look at daft.ie — this is pretty much your one-stop-shop for online accomodation advertisments here.

So stay tuned, we’ll be back shortly with more infos regarding upcoming activities and trips,

take care,

Florian

PS: Oh, who we are… Well, basically just a bunch of committed international students that try to help wherever we can to make your stay here as fun (trips, parties and other events), smooth and uncomplicated as possible . More about us here.

Hi All, Floz here!

How is it going? Tired of studying / writing the 137th essay . . . ? Looking for some diversion ?

There is a concert (actually 3 concerts in 1) in the Aula Maxima tonight (Thursday 13 Dec). The Choral Society, Somebody Else (?) and the Gospel Choir are performing their end-of-year gigs. There are a number of international students performing too, so all the more reason to check it out and get a nice change from all the uni work. There are not too many cultural events happening here in Maynooth, so you shouldn’t miss this one!

Sorry for the late notice, but doors open (tonight!) at 7:00, the concerts start at 7:30 (I think), and goes for about 2 hours (maximum). Not sure how much it costs to get in, but it shouldn’t be too much, especially not for students.

For those who don’t know the Aula Maxima, it’s the free standing building on your left as you walk onto the South Campus coming from the footbridge, and across the small bridge over that little river. (That’s Building 3 on this map).

Hope to see you all there, good luck with the exams and essays,

best regards,

Floz
