    Like many, I'm a first year student left with no on-campus accommodation, and many stakes through my heart deposited there upon learning that all of DCU's off-campus accommodation is also full. Is there anyone around who'd like to look into filling a house? Have been looking around daft.ie but I really don't want to live with 'professionals' in their mid to late 20s..:p

    Hey! I was in the same position as you yesterday, I was so disappointed I didnt get on campus, I just thought all first years would get a place! Anyways I tried so many off campus accommodation and most were full, I never thought of having a back up plan :p but last night I got a place in gateway student village, if you havent tried there, you should. Hopefully you'll find somewhere soon :) best of luck!!

    exact same as above except i got into hazelwood!!! its a bit of a commute (15mins walk) but i'd take that over as you said a bunch of stuck up proffesionals. Wouldn't mind a few first year people around because i've no idea of the number of freshers in hazelwood!!!

    Managed to grab a room in Shanowen Halls, was owned by someone other than the establishment... Can definitely recommend the College Search function on daft.ie though!

    yes gateway student village is the place to book but heard tonight that apparently there are only 10 places left so i guess you have to hurry up. i bet they will be fully booked by next week.
