    I sure will :) hopefully i will find something decent.. I jus wana try get up before it gets crazy busy with lc students. What is your budget for rent if you dont mind me askin :)

    Obviously the cheaper the better myself but I pay 375 monthly where I am at the moment. If I was paying around 75-85 a week that's probably what I'd expect. Best of luck in finding something, if nothing comes up keep me in mind because I'll be up there the weekend coming.

    Myself and 3 of my mates are having an awful time trying to find decent house. Looks like the campus apartments are our only option and they're a complete rip off for what they are.

    Can i ask wat is your budget? I was talkin to someone today that has a lovely house but wont rent just rooms, needs the whole house rented. What course and year are you's? The campus apartments are a total rip off all right and not even decent

    Budget would be €70-80 or so per week. Oh really? Where was the house? We're 3rd years in the Health & Physical Activity course.

    Thanks, I'll show it to my friends. Don't think they'd wanna share the twin room either, though.

    Yeah, that's a bit of a pain in the arse alright. We can't really afford to be fussy at this stage though 'cus we really don't wanna end up in the apartments..

    Hey did you head up today after all? Any luck with finding anything? I'm happy to share with anyone who's looking to house share. If there's 3 or 4 people on this we could all go in together if anyone would be interested. Sick of ringing and emailing at this stage. Going up next Monday to look at houses.

  • Registered Users Posts: 393 ✭✭Gaw_


    So many places that are only looking for groups of people. Incredibly annoying as an incoming 1st year student. I'll be lucky if I don't end up living in the DKIT library :V
