22 year old postgrad student looking for a house for 2015/2016. Don't know the area well, looking for a room in a house with people who are sociable enough but not partying every night!

catlin. · 30-05-2015 10:27am

Could anyone help me out here, I'm hoping to be going to nuig in September and have planned to be seeking on campus accommodation at corroborating village but I hear it is very strict on geusts? I understand you need your student id after nine and so on but what happens if you have a friend who wants to stay for the weekend or anything ? Is it difficult to get past security and all that? Any help would be greatly appreciated

Janeh9 · 01-06-2015 7:52am

Corrib would be booked out by now

Just got accepted for Postgrad in NUIG. Unfamiliar with the area so I'm not too sure if it's too early to be looking for houses yet. I'm fairly easy going, tidy and up for a bit of craic just not where everyones out every night of the week, prefer to live with final years or other postgrads. If anyone has any info or wants to team up and get a house could you PM me. Thanks!

Hi, I'm a 27 year old mature student I will be in my 3rd and maybe final year in NUIG I am looking for a room to rent from September 2015 till May 2016. My price range is from 200 to 300 euro looking for a reasonable place, either close to the college or close to a bus service. I would prefer females only but will be open to anything. I am responsible, easy going, friendly, I am not a party girl but do enjoy a few drinks socially. Hope to find something soon.

Not too many IIRC. They mostly stick to Corrib Village, Dun aras, Lisdonagh and maybe also Center Point.

Usually just 2nd years in Gort in my experience.

Hey everyone! I'm going to be starting in September with the engineering program as an international student from the US. I've absolutely no idea where to start with looking for accommodations! I know I don't want to do the housing through the school since I'm so much older than a typical first year (I'm 30). Any recommendations? I've no problem living with people who are younger, as I normally gravitate towards a younger crowd anyways, I just definitely need my own room for sure. Open to sharing a house or flat, and won't have a car.

Thanks so much!

Hey there,

I am looking for accommodation too, going to be starting a masters in September and just looking for a few roomies as it seems to be tough to get decent accommodation just for 1 !

Cheers!

Does anyone know what the best place to look is in terms of renting a room.

I've been checking daft.ie which seems okay but limited.

I understand the galway advertiser used to be good, but is that still the go to place to look?

Id imagine the Advertiser classifieds is still a big go to for many students, and many traditional landlords.

Hi, I'm hoping to receive an offer for medicine on Monday, but I don't have any accommodation booked. I called the office and got a number for a landlady with a room in Newcastle, but I'd honestly prefer to stay in student accommodation for the social aspect. I'd only be really happy with a single-ensuite room. If anyone has any advice/suggestions I'd be more than delighted. Thanks

Corrib Village always has a few cancellations but you have to be in like a hawk to avail of places(you have to be on the waiting list I think), and you wouldn't be guaranteed a single or ensuite room. I'd imagine it's the same in Dunaras or wherever else other first years stay. If push comes to shove you might have to accept accommodation outside your ideal preferences because you have left it till now. Hope it all works out

Hi there I am going to be studying an MA in Writing this academic year in September 2016/2017 and am currently househunting. Looking for a double ensuite within close proximity to the college. Does anyone have numbers for landlords - looking to get it sorted asap. PM me if you've got any info. Thanks in advance

JC960 · 26-04-2016 10:45pm

If a landlord is only offering a 1 year lease from now for a house, is there any way to just get it for the college year ( can it be arranged for someone else to stay for the summer if they like ) or how does it work

begsy · 26-04-2016 11:55pm

i've wondered the same thing. no luck with househunting just yet

amcc123 · 23-05-2016 6:24pm

hello i was just wondering is there anyone else going to staying centrepoint appartments for 2016/2017

Appmaths97 · 26-06-2016 11:14am

My friend paid a deposit for corrib village. Would i be able to take his room if he doesnt get enough points?
Do you have to pay a deposit to be on the waiting list aswell?

nandoslover · 03-07-2016 8:50am

I've got NUI Galway on my CAO and looked into a bit of house hunting. Seems that all on campus accommodation is gone so have to look for a room for first semester. Is August to late to leave this do you think?

1) No, Corrib will give the room to the next person on the waiting list. You can't just skip an entire waiting list..
2) No you dont

From experience, August would be too late, especially with the current accommodation situation in Galway for students. Unless you want to live in digs or a hostel for the first semester, don't leave it until august. Some people I know left it till august and got extremely lucky, some(most) not so much so.

Got it, I've put myself on as many waiting lists as I can. Could you just explain to me what exactly digs are? Are they just houses in which a family live and you rent a room?

Thanks!

Everyone on the waiting list for corrib village have an equal chance of getting a room. doesnt matter how long you were on the waiting list
