Question About Sharing

irishgirl10

My friend and I wish to share in Halls, does that mean we will share the same bedroom? Or just in the same appartment with different bedrooms?

Snow joke

If you picked Twin rooms on your application and mentioned each other that you would like to share, you will be sharing the same room. If you picked single rooms on your application, this would be more difficult as there is much more competition for single rooms in Halls.

Thanks for the reply, Im still quite confused though. Iv chosen 'Trinity Hall Apartments' and Iv been given the option of Ensuite Single, Ensuite Twin and Single Flat. Which would be cheaper for us?

Cheaper would be to share the Twin. 2 singles would set you back 5400 each roughly where as twin is 4200 each

As in single Ensuites? Ok, thanks so much for your help!

Snow joke

yep. Stay as far away from cunning ham house as you can

irishgirl10

Really? Any particular reason?

Snow joke

you will have your own room but you will be sharing a ****ty kitchen and bathroom with about 7-9 other people

Cunningham is awesome. Facilities aren't great, but it's the best craic in halls. Also, the wardens spend less time there than everywhere else, which is a plus.

Applicants in receipt of a Round 1 CAO offer of a place in TCD who apply for a room in Hall before 5pm on Friday the 26th of August will be provisionally notified if they are being offered a place in Hall on, or before, the morning of Wednesday the 31st of August when a list will be posted on this website of ID numbers of students being offered places.

Hope this helps!

Just wondering does anyone know if you get an offer in the second round, what are the chances of getting into Halls? I wouldn't say they'd be great would they?

Tbh, the odds of halls being filled up is very slim...
(or so I'm told)

Really? I would have thought most of it would be filled up with first round offers?!

Maybe_Memories

Well apparently there's always a load of space left. So it should all be good!

As someone as asked before, what is their policy on people staying the night?

"Hall is an academic community with many of its members having early morning lectures in various locations around Dublin. Furthermore, examinations take place at many different times during the year and not just in the main examination period in the summer. For these and other reasons residents are entitled to quietness and good order in the evenings. In particular there should be very little noise after 11pm at night. To this end the following regulations regarding overnight guests apply.

- All non-residents must leave accommodation prior to 1am unless they have been registered in the Overnight Guests Book kept at reception. All guests must be signed in before 1am.

- Hosts are responsible for the behaviour and actions of their guests.

- Guests may be asked to leave Hall if they are, in the opinion of the Warden or Assistant Warden, too noisy or disruptive.

- Residents may only host one overnight guest at any time, and for no more than 2 nights in succession, without the permission of the Warden.

- Guests will not be admitted to the Trinity Hall Campus after 1am unless they are in the company of their host.

- Guests will not be allowed during the orientation weekend, the night of the Trinity Ball and during the main College examination period in May-June without the expressed permission of the Warden.

- Any resident who hosts overnight guests with what the Warden considers to be excessive frequency may, at the Warden‟s discretion, be required to obtain advance permission from the Warden for each occasion that an overnight guest is to be hosted. The Warden may decline to give such permission.

- The Warden may prohibit any resident from hosting overnight further guests for a period of time at the Warden‟s discretion.

- The Warden may suspend or restrict for any period the facility to host overnight guests where this is, in the Warden‟s view, in the interests of Trinity Hall residences generally or is of assistance to the management and operation of the facility.

- Failure to adhere to the above regulations will be treated as a potentially serious disciplinary offence, especially if the offence occurs during the examination period."

Well that all sounds a bit crap and confusing! ^^ :P

Does anyone know, If you do get accepted into halls, what happens next?... like how/when do you find out where abouts exactly you'll be, who you'll be sharing with, when you can move in... does everyone move in on a particular date and you'll meet who ever your sharing with then or do you get told about them before that?... stuff like that?...
