Looking for a house in Elm Park, or somewhere close by (not College Court) for 2nd semester.
Im returning from Coop, want somewhere cheap, but within 5 minutes walk. Lived in Curragh Birin last year, and found it a bit too far to walk. Plus house is gone.
PM if you guy know anyone

I'm supposed to be going into 2nd year and have accommodation booked on campus for next year but got offered a course on the CAO this morning I didn't think I would.
I've already paid the first installment of €2000+ But just wondering can I get this back at this stage?
Thanks for the help.
As far as I'm aware, yes it's possible. You'll probably lose the €250 deposit, but I'm 99.9% sure once you get on to them ASAP you'll be fine.
Congrats on getting the course. 0 -

You'd make it to the East Gate in 5 minutes if you're a fast enough walker. Another five or so to Stables then.
I was living in Oaklawns for the summer and tis a nice enough place. I'd say some of the houses'd be cold enough in the winter though so bear that in mind. Walls are paper thin and if you're sitting downstairs you'll hear pretty much everything upstairs.
But IMO the houses are nicer than Elm, and I think Oaklawns is generally quieter, although obviously I couldn't say that with certainty based on the summer.0 -
Going down to view a house in Oaklawns, any good/bad experiences? PM if you don't want to congest thread
Live there myself. Very nice houses, but can a bit cold in winter (all off campus houses are the same). Bout 10 min walk to the college courtyard (stables,Students Union, Spar etc). Even quicker if you go across the fields beside the Arena, however I'd only recommend that in dry weather.0 -

Nice!
I actually got one of the bigger rooms in Plassey (more floor space) and it is at the back near the trees so no noise from the roads or the other students! I remember in my first year mostly fourth years and erasmus were put here so happy out!
Only problem is the heap of breakages and paint peeling off the wall, definitely one of the older houses but ah well!
Is the internet okay for you there?0 -

Went down today and dropped off some stuff. At the very end of Dromroe village, room facing what we'll call the Engineering Building side, so I'm pretty happy. Only downside is the trees outside make the room a bit dark, but that could have had more to do with today's weather than anything else. :P
Tomorrow I am going to go and complain about a broken drawer in my room and the black mould since that is pretty dangerous..and it isn't even winter yet so that will get worse. I will also point out that a lot of paint is peeling
I don't want to seem like a whiner though Dammit!
Also my house is by trees too so it is also really dark..had to have the lights on throughout the day today but hopefully it was just weather!0
