Another first year here! Would they ever put males and females in the same apartment?

Last year it was mainly all female and all male apartments, but there were a few mixed! If you request to be living with a certainly person you will definitely be put in with them.

Would love to chat with some students who stayed in City Campus. If you know any that were there 2011/2012 could you put them in contact with me

stall_the_ball · 27-08-2012 12:01pm

Slightly off topic but does anyone have an e-mail address for City Campus, just want to inquire as to what I need to supply myself, bed clothes, hangers, towels etc. Or even if anyone else knows anything

I'm going to be staying in Ashdown so I can't help you out too much but have you checked their website?

You need bed clothes and towels! There's a few hangers in the wardrobe, not many... The kitchen has everything! Except a toaster :P

Hi, thanks for the advice - I have rented the rooms to 3 students, & all is fine.
I have another query.... I have been told by a friend that's done this before, that the rent for the 5 week Christmas period is payable before Christmas. Is this the usual way as the rent is paid weekly? I need to clarify this & would appreciate any advice. thanks

zebren · 28-12-2012 3:06pm

Hey I'm moving from Meath to start the postgraduate in primary teaching in Mary Immaculate and want to start looking for accommodation soon. Just wondering what other people in the course are doing or anyone in the same boat looking for accommodation?

dambarude · 30-12-2012 12:58am

Accommodation requests should be kept to this sticky please!

13spanner · 06-02-2013 7:04pm

Hey guys, quick question

I'm going into 2nd year BA next year, and I'm in Ashdown now. It's lovely, perfect for 1st year, but for 2nd year I'm looking to move into a cheaper place with a new crowd. Is there any houses near the college that would take individuals and put them together in groups? Or would you have to go to them with a group already sorted?

yogalady · 07-05-2013 7:06pm

Hi

Hope it is ok to post this. I have two double rooms to rent near Mary I and am dropping rent for summer. If anyone interested let me know. I own the house and am working as a teacher in town

thanks

maryi2013 · 19-06-2013 8:10pm

Hi,

I'm looking for 3 other mature students to share a house with in September, close to Mary I. Lived with regular first years last year and although I enjoy a session myself it proved a bit much!

Private mail me if interested...

monalitto · 14-08-2013 8:17pm

hi all, what date does mary i start back in september?

Talib Fiasco · 14-08-2013 8:28pm

I'm going into second year B.Ed. I got a letter last week about fees and it said somewhere that lectures start Monday 9th September. Orientation etc. for new First Years will be the week before I'd imagine, that was the way for me last year anyway :pac:

monalitto · 14-08-2013 8:47pm

thank you

aoifeocarroll · 15-08-2013 6:34pm

Hi

I'm going to go to Mary I college this year and my best friend wants to go to limerick institute of technology but we would like to rent an apartment together some where in the middle of the two colleges but were not sure where that might be? Is there anybody who would help us out and give us a location where the 2 of us could stay and both cycle to college every day?

Somewhere on the North Circular Road perhaps. I don't know how much rental property is going around there though.

I'm heading there myself. If you couldn't find anything in the middle the fact that you are cycling to classes should negate some of the distance for one of ye.

Ye could ring both colleges for accom. lists and try cross reference them for distance?

Poxyshamrock · 15-08-2013 11:36pm

It's roughly a 20 minute cycle between the two campuses so if you chose accommodation by one college, it should still be manageable.

Accommodation around Mary I is nicer though and you are closer to town and The Crescent.

Lamina · 23-08-2013 12:17am

What areas/estates do Mary I students tend to stay in that aren't student accommodation?

Talib Fiasco · 23-08-2013 12:34am

Castlewell, Alandale and Fitzhaven would be the main ones. All are close to the college and are top quality houses. You'd be very lucky to find accommodation there at this time though. They're usually snapped up by current students before the end of the college year.

monalitto · 23-08-2013 2:51pm

hi, i have one double room left for rent in my house in new street, a couple of minutes from mary i. its a lovely spacious room in a very nice house. owner occupied (myself). i have rented out 2 rooms already to a 1st year & a final year student (girls). i did this for the first time last year & it worked out really well. if anyone interested please pm me for details or to view. thanks

Lamina · 25-08-2013 5:33am

If anyone has two rooms around Mary I I would be interested. Not going to Mary I but commuting to a college just outside the city everyday.

MCostelloe · 25-08-2013 1:23pm

Hi
Do you still have a room to rent, and if so how much is the rent per week, Thanks

monalitto · 25-08-2013 2:47pm

yes i still have a room for rent, i'll pm you

Trese · 28-08-2013 8:38pm

Hello
Im a first year student about to start Mary I and Im looking for accommodation. I don't drink or smoke and I am looking for a nice place to stay near the college with students that have similar interests not big into going out at night and partying. I would be interested in digs if a family were taking in students or sharing with someone of similar interests

If anyone has ideas you might get back to me as lot of accommodation seems to be booked up!!

monalitto · 28-08-2013 8:46pm

hi trese, i have a room free in my house that would be worth looking at http://www.daft.ie/3729486 i have a 1st year & final year student from mary i, who will be staying here also, you can check out my house on that link, or pm me for more details.

Jenly3 · 11-09-2013 2:32pm

Hey there ,

I have an accommodation available 2 min walk from Mary I gates. Its a Dig, which means you live with a family and they supply you with bed and breakfast . You get your own room and tv. This house is a beautiful Georgian house in a very safe area . The family is sweet and the mother is a chef. They're very accomodating (if you have a food allergy etc) please PM me if you're interested

:)

keelanj69 · 12-09-2013 9:15pm

First year, looking for a room around the 50 euro a week mark. Skint so cant go to much higher. Pretty urgent so please pm.

yogalady · 15-01-2014 3:12pm

Hi all

Hope it ok to post this. I have room to rent near the college for anyone looking accommodation. It's a 3 bed house and it's me and one other female tenant at present. we are both on our 30's so room ideal for older student looking for a quieter house

If you have any questions just let me know

Thanks

Does anyone know anything about booking student accommodation in Fitzhaven Square, I think it's called??

I am there atm. I sorted it out through daft.ie...got the number there and rang. I honestly wouldn't go there again but up to you. It's a nice little estate but that's it really...houses look nice but aren't the best either. You'll get a lot nicer houses in Castlewell for just the same amount of money if not less.

emerryan29 · 18-01-2014 1:58pm

Thanks very much for posting a reply. What would be your biggest turn off about Fitzhaven if you don't mind me asking? Is Castlewell also purely student accommodation?

Castlewell would be mainly students but regular residents live there as well. Fitzhaven is smaller, therefore has less students and more residents. Biggest turn off? Ehm very high rent which is not value for money. The houses are a little old fashioned...landlord issues. Houses are very cold in the winter. All I'm saying is for students there are far better housing estates around.

GalwayGirl96 · 19-01-2014 5:52pm

Hello, I've been reading this thread for a couple days now debating where to stay next year. I'm hoping to do the B.Ed next year, fingers crossed. I'm tilting towards City Campus right now because I see its least strict, and a great place to meet new people and have parties. I'm both a worker and a partier so this place appealed to me most. The 15 minute walk makes no difference to me, I can get over that. I hope I've made the right choice, would someone be able to tel me their experience with City Campus?

monalitto · 27-01-2014 6:45pm

hi i have one room to rent in my house in new street, a few minutes walk from mary i. spacious nice house, would be sharing with 2 first year girls & myself. your own double bedroom, sharing kitchen - would suit someone coming sunday night & going home friday for weekend. pm me for phone number & more details.

I lived in City Campus when I first set out on my Mary I journey and absolutely loved it - in 2nd year, all of our friends ended up living in the same block randomly too which was absolutely brilliant. The walk is a killer on cold, wet mornings but you're obviously not going to be the only done doing it.

I'm heading back to start the B'Ed all over again this year after not finishing last time - see you there & best of luck!

I live in Fitzhaven and love it - biggest turn off is probably parking and the cost to heat the place during the winter. Other than that, plain sailing.

df123 · 05-03-2014 11:32pm

Hi, I'm hoping to start first year in mary i in September so I went about booking accommodation in Ashdown but the place is booked out (just my luck)! Has anyone any recommendation on where would be an ideal place for first years to stay apart from city campus? Is Clontarf hall any good or Courtbrack?

beckspell · 04-06-2014 3:54pm

Hey, I am a mature student looking for a one-bed apartment around the city/MIC area. If anyone knows a place, please let me know! All the best, Maeve

Lola 123 · 10-07-2014 11:55pm

Hey

I have been offered a place on the Professional Masters of Education Primary Teaching starting in September 2014 and I am just wondering would anyone be able to advise me as to where postgrad students would usually live ? Any help would be greatly appreciated Thank you

Hey Lola, firstly, congrats on getting your place!
A lot of postgrads tend to share houses in the south circular road vicinity with other postgrad students. Check out the MISU accommodation page on Facebook as well as sites like daft.ie.

Sorry for the all questions but is there any student accommodation available that would suit postgrad students as I don't really know anybody in Limerick to share a house with

Lola 123.. In a similar position, most of my friends have houses sorted for September for going back... would be willing to join forces and find somewhere if you want?

hjocat · 13-07-2014 7:41pm

I've been offered a place in Mary I!

I'm wondering does anyone know the best way to go about getting shared accommodation near Mary I? Ideally I'd like to live with other PME students or post grads. Any advice would be great! I'm from Galway and I don't know Limerick at all but I am really looking forward to getting started

Accommodation in, around, and near Mary I
