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.
