    Has rent there fallen in line with other accommodation in the city?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,388 ✭✭✭Señor Juárez


    Yep, along with campus accommodation. But only by a token amount of a couple of hundred for the entire year, I think.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 207 ✭✭johnl


    Not really good enough, is it.
    Needs more deregulation.

    Put in application 3 days ago and hopefully might get in on second offers


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19 diluvial


    Has anyone who got a second round offer (i.e. today) managed to register to apply for trinity hall on the accommodation site? My sister has been trying unsuccessfully all day.

    It takes a while to update the system, people who applied first round had the same problems!

    91 is the house number.

    09 is the apartment number within the house

    and 06 is the room number within the apartment!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 440 ✭✭MrPain


    Does anyone know do they put you in apartments with people doing similar courses?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,297 ✭✭✭Ron DMC

    Not usually.

    The only apartment that has people selected specifically is the Scéim Chónaithe, which this year I believe will not only be select apartments, but an entire House, made up of people who got the Scéim, who'll get their subsidy etc, and also people who applied and didn't get the subsidy. They're trying to set up a mini-Gaeltacht by the sounds of it.

    You clearly don't love English, however.
    How much is the rent, anyway?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22 Femke


    I didn't hear anything, does everyone get an e-mail or just the people that are accepted?

    Anyway, my number's not on the list I found somewhere else on the forum but I'm a one year student.. And I've read here before that one year students always get accommodation (on campus) but Trinity sent me and information package a few months ago and it said there were only very few rooms available for international/one year students?

    I'm worried about not finding anything :(


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 359 ✭✭t0mm


    In my experience they usually do put people doing similar courses together. I started doing science, shared a room with people doing science, and the rest were meds. I know another appartment that was all nurses (two in fact), and another made up entirely of Eurostuds and TSMs, all of which were studying a language, and another of people doing either BESS or MSISS. My take on it is so that you are all leaving and coming home at the same time, so if you all have 9.00 starts you won't have the waster arts students compaining about being woken up in the morning, or the studious med complaining about being kept up late by said waster arts student.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,779 ✭✭✭A Neurotic


    ^Hmm. I was in correspondence with someone in the residence office about my application (long story) and she told me that the point of the personal statement is to put people with similar interests (music or sport or whatever) together. Maybe that applies to courses too.

    Does anyone know if vegetarians are put together? I mentioned in my application I'm vegetarian so I was hoping I'd be put into accommodation with vegetarians.

    That would be great. I'm kicking myself for not putting vegan on my form now, but I'd surprised if they were that considerate. I think (if I get in), I'd just beg my roomies to give me the top shelf in the fridge and hope they have their own pots and pans..


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 529 ✭✭✭rhapsody!


    Yeah it'd be handy on buying food aswell and less awkward when it came to cooking.
    I'm sure some other vegetarians would have stated in their applications that they were vegetarians; so I guess I can only hope!

    They take that into account as well but to a lesser extent than course in my experience.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,357 ✭✭✭papu


    Got 79.1.01 =]


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 529 ✭✭✭rhapsody!


    Is the broadband good there?

    I'm a vegetarian but I didn't put it in my application, I was so rushed it's a wonder I got in... I wonder how it will all work out, but I'll hope for the best.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23 SNiB


    87.07.06 :D

    Yeah, I know a girl going into 2nd year Pharm and in her flat in Halls last year there were two Pharm students, two Meds and two Radiation Therapy students... so they were paired up and, in a way, the courses were kinda linked too. Also, I was told that they wouldn't, for example, put a nursing student (who would have a lot of hours) with a drama student (who wouldn't)

    Just wondering though, what's all this about 87 being a "mini-Gaeltacht"?! :confused:

    Same as in Trinity, so yes, very good. Setting up access is kinda tricky for the less computer literate, but you are given a little booklet telling you how to do it, and if you are having any trouble then you can head into special work shops in college where they will set it up for you. Nothing is blocked except torrents and p2p (limewire, etc).

    This is annoying as though many use torrents and p2p programmes to download illegal copyrighted material, some people also use them to download legal material. If you are one of these people then the easiest option for filesharing is to buy a rapidshare.com account (€55 for a year) coupled with an account on a warez site. This gives you fast, easy access to files on the internet for not a very great cost.

    as i Hear everything has to go through trinity's Proxy server , this means No Online Gaming , No steam , and Msn/Skype only if you input the Proxy Details , their are Programs like proxify that Change the Proxy for all your programs so you dont have to do it manually.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 308 ✭✭nicola09


    I'm in 87.08!! Not liking the sound of this mini-Gaeltacht anymore though, on the day of the interviews for the scéim it was kind of annoying listening to "O mo dhia...tá mé...like....CHOMH tuirseach?!" THAT ISN'T IRISH!:mad: And they probably got picked instead of me!:pac:

    Oh well it should still be fun, our first weekend looks mad!:D

    You managed to get msn working??? as in messenger??? Everyone i know had to use meebo.com to get on that.
    Getting Skype sorted is no bother really, just have to remember that when you change your college password you have to change it in the proxy settings too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,779 ✭✭✭A Neurotic


    No msn? How annoying. Meebo just isn't the same...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 529 ✭✭✭rhapsody!


    NO MSN? That's insane; that's like all I use.

    O2 Broadband it is for me lol; Student broadband package - 10GB a month at 9.99 a month.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,297 ✭✭✭Ron DMC


    MSN works fine.

    Instructions on setting it up located here


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23 SNiB


    Seriously, what's the story with the mini-Gaeltacht thing? Could someone please explain? I didn't apply for scéim, but I'm in house 87.. is it only certain apartments in 87 or what?:confused:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18 JamesGranahan


    Its 5pm now ..............um, ..how do I check the list?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 169 ✭✭lfqnic


    Just keep reloading the index page I think...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 580 ✭✭✭karlr42


    I'd kill myself if I had to live in a building with people speaking Irish all day, hearing their simple language constructs liberally interspersed with English when an appropriate noun doesn't exist in Irish.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 169 ✭✭lfqnic


    Yay! Just received my offer, so relieved. I'm in 87 too, I'd be delighted if it was a mini-gaeltacht but considering I don't even have leaving cert Irish, I'd be surprised!

    Good luck people!
