    Hi all!!

    I am a student in Dublin who is looking to move somewhere in the city centre. Having spent a lot of time trawling through uninspiring over-prized box rooms that have been described as "snug double room", I though enough.

    So just checking is anyone else in the same boat and wanting to maybe rent an apartment or house with me and maybe some other fun student types???

    I'm a 23 yr girl from Dublin going to DIT Kevin St, 2nd year starting in Sep.

    If you are looking for a place and need to share and have no one to ove in with do leave a note.

    Cheers!!:pac:

    I know the story, I'm juggling an offer for "on-campus" accommadation (3k from city center where campus is). I am looking at Dub 2 for places...but more and more I feel its easier to just get a place of my own/same amount of rooms as people place so there is none of this "2 Bedroom apartment, you would be living with 6 people" crap.

    In short, I would think Im not the only one interested in this thread

    Only found places up by Cabra road using: http://www.daft.ie/searchcollege.daft

    I saw one decentish place near kevin street, theres not much around at the moment. But alas I keep looking...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21 JumAPond


    How close/far are you willing to be to Kevin St (or is that just a reference point). Ill be at TCD and would like to stay city center or at least general vicinity and I've found some pretty nice places that range from 2-4 bedrooms but would like to live with other 'student types' that enjoy the college experience if I choose to go away from campus accom.

    Hey all!!

    I'm pretty flexible!!

    ( I even resorted to looking for Studios but they aren't great just a lil claustrophobic for me.)

    Anyway yes anyone who is interested I mean a few of us can surely come together and get a house or flat near city centre. I don’t mind too much where I live as long it’s not too far from town north or south I’m flexible.

    If ye are still interested please let me know so we can get this ball rolling!!

    :pac:

    Hey I'm a 19 year old girl and going to Kevin St. too so I've been trawling through Daft looking for a place within walking distance...its a bit disheartening. So if you're interested give me a shout and we might be able to find something together....my budget is no more than €450-€500 a month for rent though so that might cause a problem!:p


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 124 ✭✭suckmyloli


    Hey everyone still looking for people as some replies have fallen through. It's a good opportunity to live with students who aren't weird and saving on rent.

    Do drop us a line or leave a reply if you are interested.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3 kielyciaran


    hey, yeah i'm goin to be movin up in september , its hard lookin for a place at the minute but i'm sure as time comes around more places will become available.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 30 funkadelica

Ive found a couple of places but still waiting on replies for most of them. Having a bit of difficulty because im looking for a single room. Is it city centre you're looking for?

    My rent a month would be no more than 450 a month but seeing as the rent markets apparently flooded I'd say that's more than enough for somewhere decent

    I'm going into 1st year in Trinity too. I don't know what to do, I've been searching constantly online and everywhere sharing is for professionals. Is everyone else having this problem? I just want a nice relaxed atmosphere with easygoing people..I don't want to be viewed as a "noisy student". :pac:

    Can anyone suggest anything? I'm really getting worried now. :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 10 meath_boy1


    Hey all!!
    Myself(DIT Bolton street student) and my friend(Trinity student) have been looking at a few places in the city centre. A lot of places are for 3 or 4 people!! Rent seems to be fairly reasonable around 350-450 a month!!
    We are both males and dont mind who we live with preferably 1st years..

    Would there be anyone interested in sharing??


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3 Fishy321

    Hey all,

    Myself (DCU, fresher, 23!) and my friend (Auinger St, masters, 24) are looking for a person to share our nice little Smithfield penthouse with.

    Its my other friends apartment so its a good price. Located on the square just behind subway. Its a 3 bed so you will have your own room. Bills are shared amongst the 3 peeps living there.

    Anyone who is serious about looking at it or wants some pics of the place then PM me and we can take it from there.

    Cheers,

    Grodge
