Jordanstown Campus
Further along from Loughshore Park is the largest campus of the University of Ulster. It was originally the site of the Ulster Polytechnic and provides for full and part-time students. The other campuses are at Derry, Coleraine and Belfast, the latter is currently undergoing a £250 million development which should be operational in 2020. The railway station at Jordanstown is a ten-minute walk from the campus and was built in 1853, five years after Whiteabbey (1848). An interesting note, just before Carrickfergus there was a small village called Greenisland, If you later read my article on the 'Other Giant' at the Giants Causeway, this was the Greenisland that I mentioned where the sculpture was carved before being transported to the north coast.
