    Hi all,

    I'm moving up to glasan on the weekend... and I was just wondering, do the bedrooms have locks?

    I will b up and down to galway alot and plan on leaving my laptop etc up there on weekends...and i'm aware that its likely people will b in and out of my house throughout the year..so i'm just wondering how safe is it to leave valuables in bedrooms?

    Thats a good question, I know the student acc for NUIG have key cards for the bedrooms but i'm not sure about Glasan.
    Surely they would though

    Say goodbye to your deposit for Glasan

    No matter what you do the management sharks will fleece it

    Ah there's benefits to student accommodation too. Not even sure I made the right decision yet to get private house but hopefully it will work out okay in the end. Loads of things missing faulty etc in the house I got where as ya kinda get everything with student accommodation, well where I was in student accommodation before was brill but that was UL.

    Hi guys,

    I have two colleges on my CAO and one of them is GMIT, but I haven't that much money for accommodation.

    What is the cheapest student accommodation that is solely for students and includes all bills that is within a reasonable walking distance to the main campus?

    Thanks!! :)

    He guys. I'm staying in Glasan right now, but I'm thinking about going somewhere else next year.

    I like the closeness to the college, Definitely a plus.

    But what I don't like is how loud it is. Even if you have the TV volume low or have normal conversation. It can be heard throughout the house. The sounds and vibrations go through the floors and the walls like a sheet of paper.

    The bills are very high and the management are dicks.

    Can anyone recommend reasonably priced accommodation that is still close to the college but maybe more suitable to a more mature student, Less noise and loud music, reasonable management.

    Sorry to hear about your experience with Glasan, Dublin Red Devil. You've really put me off going there. I like my peace and quiet! Going by their website, they seem very strict.

    Hoping to go to GMIT in September as a mature student so I also would like to hear about other peoples' experiences with student accommodation.

    You sound like the kind of person i'd like to share accommodation with. If you find something better let me know. ;)

    The cost of cancellation fees is a joke. €250 if you cancel with Gleann na Ri. :mad:

    Hey,

    I'm thinking of staying in Tir na gcapall but I looked on street view and it seems fairly far away from the main campus!

    By any chance was there cycle lanes built recently? I don't drive and I really don't want to cycle on the road.

    Best bet is going for some shared accomodation & forgetting about student acommodation man; both less chance of having some breed of an almighty party keeping you awake all night when you've some important practical the next day/having some breed of security coming banging on your door on the one night you may make noise over a whisper.

    @Dublin Red Devil/Wake_Up_Donnie: Gonna be going to GMIT myself as a mature in Med. Science (hopefully) in September myself. If y'all are looking for extra matures for some gaff: count me in.
