There should be a thd sticky based on accomadation. There's loads of threads based on people wanting to find out about accommodation (me included).

ye.

Basically what I'm saying is there should be a sticky thread alomg the lines of " Your experiences of the S. Acomms." or something like that. There's loads of threads based on accommodation. I started one so I'm not moaning by thye way:):D

I'm applying to Corrib Village as I'm not in colledge. It's getting mixed reviews. Ppl agree that it's not luxury but that's it's party central. It depends on what you want and I don't beleive C.V can be too bad.

Corrib Village is a Kip!!!!! I lived there in first year....yeah it's party central but seriously...you wouldn't let your dog live there!!! Have a look at gort na coiribe across the bridge, there's a good buzz around there.. Stay away from cuirt na coiribe - ive heard its really strict!!!

ShineadyRyan

There are alot of 2nd and 2rd yrs in Gort but I'm a second yr living with a first yr girl. It's grand like....Yeah house parties are grand in corrib but they don't go on all night, security it tight enough on non-residents and everyone just heads into town to the clubs!! ---I know cause I was underage until May!!!!:rolleyes::)

If you are a fsrt year student go to corrib, i'm a first year this year and regret not going down there and meeting a few fellow first years, its where every forst year goes and the craic you have down there is unbelievable.

If you really think about it your not looking for your first home, your in the mix with a load of fellow first years who are just delighted to have their own independace and have the craic, worry about finding a decent place next year, go to corrib or you will regret it:)

ya i was thinkin you would make all your friends in corrib so ill prob go there .. does anyone know if the prices will come down due to recession haha ??? renting seems so much cheaper ... by the way can you get away with having people up to stay at ur apartment at d weekends or is dat too hard to do ??? in corrib village now is wat im talkin bout

english4490

Well corrib is a dump from the looks of things! anyone i have talked to thinks it was ok in 1st yr but they were really happy to leave! ive stayed in gort and i know its much nicer, and just sligtly cheaper! its also much nearer to town which does not seem to be a problem for a lot of people in corrib village as many are still only 17 and not going out in town! ill be turnin 20 during my 1st yr in galway like!

I'm applying for Gort na Coiribe anyway, it sounds much nicer than the other ones. Good to hear people who live there like it too! Cuirt sounded way too strict- even my mam was against it when she found out they lock the balcony doors permanently! What are the rules like in Gort? Is it any good for first years?

ya i know what you mean! i am hoping to go to gort too... ive stayed in both corrib village and cuirt! cuirt is pretty nice but its far too strict to live in as a student! i just hope if i go to gort that there will be other 1st years??? there will be other first years?????!!!:eek:

Mallox

you would think that in these times of recession the price of the student accomodation would come dwon like look at renting in the area has fallen by 3% and more .. its very unfair if you ask me

xOxSinéadxOx

corrib village anyone?

subnation

Dunno, thats at awful lot of money to be paying for a complete dump!

english4490

i had planned on going gort which is now booked out... fantastic.. corrib village is looking like the place im going to end up but it looks like a dive!

Wouldn't recommend Corrib Village. Cuirt na Coiribe & Gort na Coiribe are good residences but you should try Donegan Court - really close to the college - about 5 minutes to the main entrance. close to the city centre too. its a small residence. http://www.nuigalway.ie/student_services/accommodation_office/documents/donegan_court.doc

Don't think so. I know if you wave "I do Law" they seen to relax the rule.

Try their website. If that was a rule it would say something about it there.

If you get lost on your way from Donegan to college then your a spaz . It's down the road. 2 min walk in a straight line if your a fast walker. No idea if it's not taking first years.

english4490

ya i know where it is, but i meant i dont think its too popular with the 1st yrs! ok thanks anyways, galway here i come, i hope....
