Odds of getting Larkfield accomodation?

JTD.Vapour

Hey
Im thinking of going to dcu next year. for a bsc. in computer applications. Now im wondering what are the odds of getting it? i Mean i have the prospectus in my hands and it says people with 500 points or more or are foreign have priority. Im wondering as im expecting between 310-360 points, is there gonna be a lot stopping me from getting accommodation in dcu? is it hard to get into?

Thanks
VaPz

I don't think it's as hard as you may think. I didn't hear of many people who weren't accepted anyway. What county are you living in?

It's all about the county that you live in!!! Seriously if you live in a far away county you are practically guaranteed on campus accom. That said I had quite a few friends who lived in neighbouring counties of Dublin and they all got campus too!

I lived in DCU for the four years of my degree.

oh sorry, i live in dublin. Not to far from dcu, i could live off campus easily. but i would just like to move out and "experience" college. Im just quite excited bout it and dont wanna get turned away :-/

Thanks for the quick replies

They also give priority to first and 4th years.

Well considering Larkfield is 1st year only I'd assume they give 1st years priority

I've never heard of s first year who wasn't granted accomodation. My roommate in first year didn't even apply for a room until the first day of Orientation week.

Hey =]

I got larkfield no bother, I'm from wexford - but I know people from inside dublin who've gotten it too(Dublin 12 and also one from just over the southside)

It's not hard to get into really, and it's well worth it =] even if you don't get larkfield make sure you apply for hampstead also.

I didnt get a place in larkfield when i went into first year last year.

They didnt even tell me i didnt get it. I had to ring them up to find out.

Apply and if you don't get it just keep on ringing accomodation.

I didn't get a first round offer for larkfield but just kept on calling and saying I was interested if someone didn't get their offer. I got an offer in the post two days later!

keep an eye on the camps res website, if u apply early u should get it.
when i went, i think they stated taking applications round feb-march
...things might be different though now

larkfield is great for first years,meeting new people etc.
but the fines for stupid stuff r ridiculous in there

Apply as soon as you can.
Doesn't matter if you don't come here, you're not charged anything till you accept a place and sign licences etc.
I'd reccommend it, sitting there atm =]
had some brilliant times here, and it's only week 7!
