Anyone know when they let current students know if they got a place on campus?

[XxMCRxBabyxX]

Pretty sure it was late April-ish last year!

You could apply to be an RA either; if you get the job you'd be on campus for sure. And RAs get their rent paid for them.

Whats an RA?

Residence Assistant - you can ring them if you get locked out of your apartment or if you want them to break up a party or whatever

Ah ha I got locked out of my room on Friday night at 1.30 aqnd had no credit to ring the RA so I broke into my own room with a bit of plastic. Handier than the hassle of ringing them and waiting

Hi guys,

I'm applying for on-campus accomodation for next year (I'll be a wee first year) and just had a few questions about them, for those of you who've stayed there.

In your opinion which is the "best" complex to stay in, River, Rye or Village? River is the most expensive but does that nessecarily mean the best quality? ( I know it's student accomodation so I'll use the term loosly!)
I do want my own room but I wouldn't mind sharing a bathroom, so which should I apply to to have the best chance of getting a single room?

What's the heating like in them? I'm a cold creature, so heating is important lol!

And finally do some of the apartments have wireless broadband or is it all wired? I'd really like wireless if I could get it!

Thanks in advance, much appreciated !!

Personally, if you don't mind sharing a bathroom I'd go for Village. All the rooms are single, and it's not as ridiculously expensive as River. Also the couches are really comfy

Village has storage heaters in the bedrooms (and kitchen I think, but I can't remember exactly - there's definitely some sort of radiator in the kitchen though). River just has regular central heating. i actually found both apartments I lived in very warm, but I'm not a cold person so that mightn't be much help for you

Village has wireless internet, and River and Rye are wired. Although our esteemed SU President-Elect wants to try and get wireless in all the apartments so that might not be a problem by the time you arrive.

Ok so me thinks I'll be moving back to Maynooth next Sept, and I'm just wondering what way to go about it? I've heard to start looking in April, where would I start??

You can start looking in September and still get a decent house. There is absolutely no rush to start now. July would probably be best as most of the student houses would be empty and landlords who haven't got new tenants/summer tenants will be wanting to get something sorted.

[LeixlipRed]

Definitely no rush, buyers market and all that.

hi guys, I am a postgrad currently living in a lovely house in Parklands. One of the guys living with me will be finishing up in may so we need another person to rent with us for the summer and next year.

Rent is 68 per week including 20mb broadband and bins. The room is a doublebed. The house has all mod and cons. Massive kitchen with two fridges, freezer, dishwasher, dryer. oh and we also have a 52 inch tv for the xbox/ps3.

We are very busy postgrads so only serious applicants should apply.

Cheers.

I'm hoping to be in Maynooth in the fall as a visiting international student from the United States for Semester I. I am looking for accommodation (the cheaper, the better) and was wondering if there was anyone looking for a roommate, or know or anyone who is.

[westdub15]

are there many houses or apartments available on a monthly basis? i mean without signing a year lease?
