    i had the same experience in first year, it was horrible... if you don't get on campus, you can queue up at night for a place on the cancellation list... if you're one of the first there you should get a room, providing they don't skip you over again or mess up. (like they did with me, but i fought it). the ucd accomadation office is very badly run tbh...

    Well im returning to study as a mature student and although I have been offered a few places I do see what you mean a lot of people seem to not want students but my best advice would be to look presentable ie dress well shirt and jeans ect and come across pesentable. Remember its a recession and a renters market out there so you have the advantage.
