Hi all,

I have a great room to rent in my house in Beaufield. The original tenant I had in it has let me down and now I'm left looking for a new tenant in October!!:cool: Very irritating indeed!

Anyway, as I said, the room is very nice, newly refurbished and has a new double bed. The house in general is newly refubished, clean and modern. There's a brand new electric shower, large kitchen/ diner, sitting room, downstairs WC and second sitting room.

You'd be sharing with myself, (A 27 year old male primary school teacher) and male first year student. The house is laid back, kept very cleanand quiet.


€370 per month + deposit of €200 + bills divided by three.

If this sounds good for you let me know please!!

Gwjones!

Here's a couple of pics

Dude, just walk into Rye hall and shout out "Who wants a river apartment???" They'll all come flocking

^ guys, just gonna warn yous that if you're going to attempt to swap rooms or anything with someone else who lives on or off campus, you could get in some serious sh1t. You probably would end up getting kicked out of your apartment.
Ugly Fuc, go and talk to Niamh in the river apartments office if you want a different room, she may be able to help you out.

I find it very unlikely, they'll just let you swap at this stage, especially when you've paid for the term and have already lived there 5/6 weeks!

Ok this isn't about getting accommodation as such but I didn't see the point of opening a new thread :P Ok so question for people living in Dublin, what's the commute like? Are the trains reliable (I'm laughing actually asking that :P)?
See, I'm having an argument with the bf about next year. I want him to live here he wants me to live there :P Will I be wrecked is what I'm basically asking :P

Don't do it. Stay in Maynooth. there's no point renting and commuting!

My boyf lives in dub and me here and we just visit each other as much as poss. It's worked well for our 4 year relationship so far!

Actually, I've been weighing up the pros and cons, the pros are very quickly outweighing the cons!

Bear in mind the cost of renting with the cost of all the travel added on. It won't be cheap!
You'll also be wrecked travelling every day and then you'll have to do your work at home as well meaning you won't have that much time with your boyfriend!

Although I am interested in the pros and cons considering I'd love to life with the boyf!

It funny you mention that; the cost was what was worrying me most so I had a nosy into flat prices, looking at websites and asking friends who are living there already, and the cost of me living in city centre like near Connolly or Drumcondra, and the train tickets, works out less weekly than where I'm living now (River), so that's grand! My parents are paying for my accommodation on the condition that they don't pay for anything else, so they'll be happy that they're paying less next year :P I know it'll be a longer tougher day, but in all fairness I do **** all because I live so close! I just end up going online or playing minesweeper all day, whereas my bf is the best motivator ever, even though he's the biggest procrastinator himself :P He's also pretty damn well off, so I'll be paying even less XD And I never get to see any of my friends any more, that was the cruncher :P

Have you accounted bills into that? Because they will add to the price!
I have always heard that Dublin is a lot more expensive than Maynooth. DCU even had an article about it in their last issue of The College View!

I just think that it's going to be a lot harder than you think! I have thought about it myself in the past but from all my research I just don't think it would be worth it! Although if you can convince me otherwise! :P

I understand the friends thing too but will Dublin make it any easier when you're still commuting to Maynooth everyday? Surely it would be the same situation as living here?

Yeah I know bills and all that, but after talking to a few friends it still seems to be cheaper, or at most around the same price. And yeah it may very well be harder than living here, I don't know since I haven't tried it yet, but it's still a hell of a lot better than commuting from Dundalk which is what my parents want! :P

And as for the friends thing, yeah if I managed to get a place in the area I wanted, I'd be fairly close to the majority of them so I could see them in the evening if I wasn't too busy, and practically all the friends but a few that I've made here live in Dublin too so meh :P

Another thing I just thought of was that I might actually work during the day if I couldn't go back to the apartment and sleep :P

Got a room to rent in a house in Straffan Wood. €350 a month for a double bed in a modern, clean family house in a lovely modern quiet estate. From 1st of January or February (negotiable) until 1st of May. Room is up for rent because I'm looking to move home because of work commitments.

House would be shared with two other second year lads with a casual atmosphere, but serious about getting good academic work done.

PM me if interested. Cheers

Hey i'm applying for on campus acc and i was wondering if anyone can tell me what the different types of accommodation are like, for example getting a good night sleep or sharing a room with someone.

Thanks =]

squishykins

Hiya, well it all depends on how much you're willing to spend for what you get :P
I'm in river, and honestly I don't think it's worth the extra. Yeah you get your own bathroom but that's it really. I have friends in Village and Rye and they're perfectly happy and comfortable there. I only know one person sharing a twin room and that's with her twin sister, so make of that what you will

I'm a heavy sleeper, but the ****ers above me...oh I will go up there some day and strangle them. Wednesday nights are their favourite, screaming at everyone out the windows and pretending to have sex, it's so immature...
