Campus Accomodation

I asked the Accommodation Office this last year, this is what they told me:

Ensuite Single : GMB/Pearse Street
Apartment Single: Botany Bay or Front Square
Single : Standard (shared bathroom) New Square / Rubrics

They also told me to put down Apartment Single even if I was applying with a friend, I've no idea what Apartment Double etc means, and their website is incredibly uninformative...

You're probably better off emailing the Accommodation Office anyway to check because they've probably changed what all the room types are by now, or forgotten, and New Square has possibly changed anyway...

Just incase you didnt get it this time Apex,

Dear Student

It has been decided to extend the application period for rooms until Friday
12th March at 5pm. This is to facilitate students who have had diifficulties
submitting their online application and those who have been away during
reading week.

Or in other words, we did not get enough applications to fill all the rooms.

Doubtful. Demand always exceeds supply.

I always assumed that was a contingency for emergencies/incompetence on behalf of the accommodation office, though...

incompetency of the accommodation office

Just felt compelled to quote this part for some reason... carry on

When I was talking to Linda in the accommodations office, I thought I heard her say 8th of May is the date we hear whether we have been successful or not. I know this date is a lot earlier than previous years bunt dont forget everything is earlier this year!

Same!

Undecided as to whether or not to accept due to the lack of parking, have heard the GMB is a lonely old place to live as well.

I'll probably accept after my initial moaning session though!

I assume that you share kitchen/ recreation areas with others though, or am I mistaken?

You do indeed. I have a mate living on the 2nd floor on the Dining Hall side of the GMB this year and he shares a kitchen with 3 or 4 other rooms. I think there are 2 kitchens per floor, one for each side of the building as there are 8 or 9 rooms per flooor

Thanks for confirming that, I was just wondering because I'm not sure whether i'd be able to deal with seeing nobody else when around room/ apartment

House 2 Front Square! Is it even possible to live there? I hope so.

Trinity does not have a "campus". Trinity is a college.

*rolls eyes* Really? You want to do pedantry? Here's pedantry:

*

There is "no difference or distinction" between Trinity College and the University of Dublin.

- Trinity Senator David Norris, 18 April 2000.

Trinity College and the University of Dublin "are one body".

- The High Court of Justice of Ireland, as published by Trinity College Dublin in Volume II of Chartae et Statuta Collegii Sacrosanctae et Individuae Trinitatis Reginae Elizabethae juxta Dublin, 1898, pages 507-536, in re The Provost, Fellows and Scholars of Trinity College Dublin v. the Attorney General, the Chancellor, Doctors and Masters of the University of Dublin and the Trustees and Executors of the will of the late Richard Tuohill Reid, holding that Trinity College and the University of Dublin "are one body."

In the interests of not derailing the thread, anyone know what the deal is with Scholars' room applications? According to the website, mine hasn't even been reviewed yet, but I know other Scholars this year got room offers today.

I know of a few people who havnt heard anything!

And some of these should have been definitely getting a room somewhere on campus...
