UCD campus waiting list

derealmoister · 19-08-2011 12:35pm #1

Hey guys I just got my results and am UCD-bound. However, when I check the online campus priority list, it no longer says my position on the list (which was just over 1800) instead says,
''Sorry, we are not currently accepting applications for the accommodation waitlist. Please visit ucd.ie/residences for more information on how and when to apply for accommodation at UCD Student Residences''. I don't recall removing myself from the list unless by accident by clicking wrong button next to ''logout''.
Anyone else experience a similar problem or does it just not show your number this weekend because of CAO round 1?
Thanks:)

2214. I don't have a clue if I even have a chance or not.

merlin13 · 22-08-2011 1:40pm

Glenomena, Belgrove or Merville. :P I'm not too bother really. I'd prefer not having to share a bathroom but then I've also heard Glenomena is where all the 4th years/post grads go? You?

Apparently once you're under 3000, you're sound. Might be limited on choice, but you'll get a bed.

I'm 103, so I'm really sound.

And going for Belgrove, which may defeat the point of being so high up.. :P

Im thinking Glenomena too, i like the idea of having my own bathroom!
But the whole postgrads thing is a bit of a turn-off, but id say its different every year and there could be a good few first years

:P Well an early congrats to you anyway! I really hope I get on campus, I'll be moving up from Limerick so it'd make the move so much easier. Sure, if I can get my own bed in any of those 3 I won't make a fuss like!

What's the general consensus on Glenomena? As a first year are you better off in Merville/Belgrove?
Belgrove is pretty central on campus for my buildings so that's a major plus!

Jaafa · 22-08-2011 2:33pm

Hey is it too late if I still haven't applied yet? Also does anyone have any experience of Roebuck Castle Catered Residences? Whats the set up like? I understand its separate rooms but in the same apartment? Something like that?

I did get up at stupid o'clock to put my name on the list, so I pat myself on the back. :P I'm moving from Galway so I know how ya feel!!

I wish you luck.

Belgrove central to you? What are you going studying?
Its a two minute walk from the Arts buildings, so I hear, so ideal for mise.

If I've looked at the maps properly, it seems to be closer to the Health Science Buildings than Merville.

I'll be studying Biomedical Health & Life Sciences.

I'm liking the sound of that!

Don't be put off by being crazily far down on the list- I really thought that I didn't have a hope, then didn't check my emails and missed my chance to get on campus accommodation in first year... be optimistic till the bitter end! :P

Sounds like a solid back up anyway :P I could wash in the lake, no worries!

Jimmy Magee · 22-08-2011 3:47pm

I wonder are the chances good if you're around no.1500?

JS0692 · 22-08-2011 4:23pm

I havn't even got a number yet.. Would it even be worth my while to wait and see or should I book off campus accomodation, does anyone know? Anyone know any close off campus accomodation?

Jimmy Magee · 24-08-2011 12:30am

Do you have a choice? Are you not just shoved into one of them if you're lucky to get a place?

I thought it was only updated everday at 4? Correct me if I'm wrong, but you should be on 62 till tomorrow afternoon

It's a horrible wait! I suppose it's because everyone who gets offered a place has 24 hrs to reply, makes sense that they wait that long to update.

Fergus_Nash · 25-08-2011 3:48pm

Earlier around 11 or 12 I was 259. Around 3ish I had jumped to 267. Well I was wondering what the you know what I'm about to say. Now 167:D

You're of the observant sort :L:L Indeed, I am concerned; however I have not delivered anything of a brick nature to the lavatory thus far.... I shall keep you posted.

I'm 19 on the HEAR waitlist and haven't moved since they started handing out places. Apparently theres an IT malfunction & the HEAR places haven't been handed out because of this. Would have accomodation long ago if I wasn't on HEAR! Ridiculous!

teenagedream · 25-08-2011 4:16pm

I'm finally moving down the list again just went down 12 places, I'm presuming

Shonagh · 25-08-2011 5:43pm

Ya, I was wondering this aswell. And do we get offered once we get to zero or do we have to wait until 4 tomorrow?
