    There you go, it's also literally across the road from the college, is behind a shop and 2 takeaways are almost next door to you in Croi Oige.

    Me personally I'd try for an actual house as opposed to student accommodation for the freedom and comfort it offers, each to their own though.

    Thanks very much :) what do you mean by freedom in an actual house compared to student accommodation? :)

    I suppose I mean that a house is bigger, "breathing space" comes to mind. I also like having good internet, due to my course, which a house offers (eg: UPC for the 3-5 people in a house) as opposed to accommodation (UPC for the 1000 people in Croi Oige).

    I also mean the fact that the sitting room / dining area and kitchen are shared, was never a big fan of that.

    Just personal preference really.

    I don't know what most first years would do, there's too many of them :pac:

    The entire area around the college would have the bulk of the students I would guess. So Croi Oige, Valley Court, Cypress Gardens, Any of the houses along retreat road and the other student accommodations.

    Wouldn't worry too much about not having any first years around you, there'll be plenty regardless of where you choose to live.

    Here's the student union website: http://www.aitsu.ie/. They have some more information and an accommodation list on there too, if you need it.

    I will also be looking for accommodation if I get my course and would like to share a house. I have heard Cypress Gardens is one of the nicest areas around the College
