    Yeah Southern Gardens, College Green, Green road and if you have a car or dont mind a 15 minute walk millbrook are all good student areas to live in.

    Just be carefull if you get a house in Southern Gardens, there is one particular landlord who is/was also a lecturer in the college who owns a lot of houses in the area that is well known as being an arragant b*ll*cks, letting himself into houses at all hours of the night claiming "its my house i can do what i want" etc...... Cant say names but i think hes the only landlord in Southern Gardens that owns over 4 houses. I lived in one of his houses before and would never do it again.

    Have some respect, he died well before you posted this

    You may not have liked him for whatever reason but he didn't see that sign as he was dying in hospital.

    Do you even understand the meaning of respect?? Read the post again and you will see I never said anything about what someone can or cannot say :rolleyes:

    No college in Carlow has an Accommodations Officer....in fact most colleges in Ireland don't bar Trinity etc, its more an American thing.

    Hmmm interesting, Im in St. Pats in Carlow and our Accommodations office only relates to in campus accommodation. The welfare officer carries the duties.

    I'm sure the Officer in ITC would help you out if you asked.

    The accommodation officer in IT Carlow provides a list of digs and self catering accommodation for students of IT Carlow. Most of the accommodation would be located on the Kilkenny road side of the town i.e. Green Road, Southern Gardens, College Green etc. and may not be suitable for students attending St. Pats/Carlow College.

    The accommodation officer doesn't place students in accommodation, in the case of any problems they are available to provide assistance where possible.

    I don't think the college would be able to assist students form other Institutes/Colleges.........

    It's actually quite the opposite, most of the colleges have at least an accommodation officer, some even have a department (in the larger colleges of course!!) ;)

    Did you ring the college??

    The link to the list is: http://accommodation.itcarlow.ie/list.php

    The majority of accommodation is rooms in houses, the letting agents are clearly marked ;)

    If any people are stuck, ask in places that rent out houses to "normal" people. In large student towns like Carlow, they often have student houses to let, or just houses in general that they'll fill with students..

    Had a lady called Maura Fenlon as my landlady. Sound enough.

    All else fails, check daft.ie - there's usually a few houses on it looking for students.

    Stay away from anything owned by John Joe Waddock, i was in a 7 person house and he kept all 7 peoples €400 deposits and claimed we owed him more due to damage.... the biggest damage done to that house was when the dial broke off the microwave... As far as i know one of the girls in the house is taking action, but me being a poor student cant afford to do anything

    I know it's a bit early yet but while I'm on here, I would strongly suggest not renting from Boyd/Ken Lennard. I rented a room in 10 Clarencegate from them, Boyd's the owner but lives in a different county so his dad Ken collects rent, the apartment is nice and big but it wasn't worth it with the hassle I had.
    I first lived with a girl who they viewed as a trouble maker (well she did have a raging session until 5am on the first weekend and the whole building complained) and blamed her for breaking the microwave a week after we moved in even though it never worked and then the cooker broke and they blamed her too, she was only 17 so I think they thought she was an easy target but anyways she moved out in October so I was living alone for over a month.
    By law, a landlord has to give 24hrs notice before coming to the property however, Ken would just show up with people to view the apartment, at 7 or 8pm, and expected me to show them around.
    When I was leaving they took €90 from my deposit for a window which they said I "broke" but they were poorly fitted double glazed windows which cracked due to the cold weather, they then text me when I left to say they would send me €50 in the post because I had been a good tenant and I haven't heard from them since.

    They are just a few incidents but there were many more.
    So if you or if you know anyone looking to rent from them I would think twice about it.
    Granby Row, College Green, Carraig Abhainn for first years or Rathdown all grand places!
