In September each year Maynooth welcomes many new residents who begin their university life at Maynooth University. With the numbers of people seeking accommodation, there is never enough rental places available to cater for everyone needing it and this has an impact for students.
It means that many more students travel to Maynooth everyday by public transport and private cars. Parking spaces are equally at a premium here, so where public transport is an option, it is best to use these services. We wish every student starting or returning to Maynooth University our best wishes for your studies. Keep safe and remember that Maynooth is also home to people who are not students.
