    For UCC (and UL... and NUI Galway I think. And probably many other places) you're meant to have booked and put down a deposit for campus accomodation already, so you may not get that...
    But you'll surely be able to rent a house, or get into a house with another group of people, there'll always be something.

    For UCD and Trinity, you don't apply for accomodation until after the offers.

    Really hoping I'll get Dublin, because otherwise it'll be Galway for me, and I've nothing booked.
    Also, I know nobody there and it's a good 8hour commute away or something, so I'll be pretty screwed.
    I'm sure I'll find somewhere like, it'd just make life so much easier to get Dublinland.

    No idea TBH. Would they take booking before you have been offered a place.

    UCC campus accomadation is pretty steep and some of it is pretty crap. You have piles of options tho, a lot of people will have pre-booked and end up missing their points.

    As a first year i'd probably say Victoria Lodge would be good for a bit of craic, Brookfield Apartments are terrible but the grounds and lawns etc are class and it can be great fun. Vic Mills are VERY strict at times, not a big fan of Farrenlea, University Hall is pretty decent aswell.

    I'd advise staying on the Mardyke side of college aswell a lot of the private houses on College Rd, Bandon Road, Barrack Street, Glasheen etc are horrible rat infested holes!!
