I got Mullin. It'll be my first year living on campus. Do many 3rd years live there or not........ also is there anywhere I can keep maaa bicycle?
Well I hope I've passed my repeats or else I dunno what I'll be doing.

Loads of my 3rd year friends got campus for some reason this year. Even I did, but decided to live wuth friends. Don't worry, there is a good mix of years

Also there are bike stand thingys beside the aparment doors, though some people just chained them to the stairs on the ground floor. Probably a bit safer, seeing as it is card key access and there is cameras there.

You do have to rent the tv; it was 25 euro a month (so a fiver each) back when I lived in village. There nearly isn't much need to have a telly though, cuz pretty much everything you'd want to watch is on the internet anyway!

The internet in village is grand; it's wireless which is handy. Its quick enough like, definitely wouldn't say it was bad! You can't torrent on campus, but that's the only thing.

25 a month :O , i should start renting tvs to students

Hi,
I am a 22 year old Erasmus Student from Germany, who will spend the next 9 months in Maynooth. I study Mathematics, I juggle, play the guitar and go skating... and I did not get an on-campus accomodation.:D So I am looking for a room in Maynooth. I would not like to live in a dig, but I would love to live together with other people, who are interested in a nice community.

I would be glad to hear from you!

Greetings
Michael

If you contact the maths department they can help you out as well, one of our postgrads might have a spare room. admin@maths.nuim.ie

Back to Maynooth, back to the Maynooth forum

In regard to the TVs in Village [I'm in Riordan too, did they just group all the Boardsies together?] is there Chorus NTL like in Rye Hall or will I have to stock up on DVD boxsets? [I hate watching things on the net]

Apartment 3 by any chance? <.<

Daemos · 02-09-2011 11:53pm

No, 5. But which room...?

mrjones31 · 06-09-2011 1:56pm

has anybody heard when/if there's another draw for campus places on the way?

XxMCRxBabyxX · 10-09-2011 6:38pm

Anyone know whats the latest you can move up on Sunday? Asking for my bro! Who got the same room that I got in 1st year, freaky...

So who's in Mullin this year?!

xOxSinéadxOx · 10-09-2011 7:02pm

^ that is freaky!! I'm in Mullin, I think!

Anybody know if I can just move up any day? What are the reception opening hours for getting my key and all?

Bergkamp 10 · 10-09-2011 10:15pm

I'm in Mullin as well! Whats the good/bad points ? Whats the story with renting the TV btw?

I think tomorrow anyway you can only get the key from the office place between 1pm - 6pm.

Yeah I'm fairly sure you can move up any day, everyone has different days for registration and that.

Mullin is great! Close to campus, brilliant craic! You don't have your own bathroom and the rooms aren't the biggest but I don't see either of those as problems. It is old so some things aren't always in the best of shape but be nice to Seamus and he'll try to sort you out!

Eh I never rented a tv. Never really needed to. One if my roomates brought her own tv up the first time and I just used my laptop to watch stuff last year.
You'll get a flier through the door about it soon after college starts anyway. It's about 25p/m

Zipp101 · 11-09-2011 4:11pm

If your planning to move in anytime after 6pm is there anyway of getting your key?

seanypf · 13-09-2011 2:17pm

Hi. I'm mature 2nd year student looking for a double room in Maynooth. PM if anything available. Thanks

Jellytotsx · 13-09-2011 9:37pm

Hi I have a single room available in Kilcock,1 min walk from train station. €70 weekly PM me asap if interested!

Rafcam · 13-09-2011 10:26pm

Hey my friend has a single room in Meadowbrook Avenue for €85 a week. They're all 2nd years in the house and they're all so lovely and easy to get along with. PM me if you're interested. Thanks!

LeixlipRed · 13-09-2011 10:44pm

Does that include bills? That's super expensive if it doesn't :pac:

Rafcam · 13-09-2011 11:13pm

It includes bins but not electricity.

LeixlipRed · 13-09-2011 11:20pm

's seriously expensive. Sorry, I'm sure you're not the landlord and want to fill the room but I pay 10 euro less a week, landlord covers bins, my room is a double too!

Rafcam · 13-09-2011 11:38pm

It is a bit I guess, but I think a lot of people are paying around the same amount from what I've heard. I'm only just passing on the message though, one of them has dropped out and they're looking for a replacement.

LeixlipRed · 13-09-2011 11:42pm

Yeh, not giving out to you like :P Just letting people know you can get cheaper!

We · 15-09-2011 8:33pm

Myself and 3 friends are looking for a 4bed house but cant find anything on daft.ie that will rent for the academic year

(

Any ideas where else to look?

sionnachrua · 15-09-2011 9:40pm

Have you called the landlords of the houses on daft? Try haggling them down to 10 months, maybe. Or offer to pay for the year, as long as the rent is reduced in the summer. Just because they say one year lease doesn't mean they won't be willing to cut it!

Do this and don't accept higher rents for a shorter lease. Lectures start in 4 days, any landlord who hasn't filled a house at this stage is going to need to lower prices or they'll probably find themselves sitting on an empty house for a few months.

xOxSinéadxOx · 15-09-2011 10:35pm

Did you try the housing list from the residence office?

DB10 · 25-09-2011 2:10pm

Anyone know why the housing lists are local access only? Could really do with that this weekend, its a very weird set up that....

Anyone have it?

You could also tell the landlord you are willing to offer more than money!! wink wink!! nudge nudge!!
