Living in Shanowen Square 2011

Edana

Hey Just wondering are there tv's in the apartments or does someone have to bring one of their own from home?

sob1467

No you have to bring your own tv, unless one of your housemates bring one and pay a license also.

Edana

first year in Secondary school every one just sticks with people they know from Primary school.
First year college no one knows each other, much friendlier atmosphere

Daam I'm in A2 not A1:/ I'm sure ALL the second years wont hate us haha..

In A2. I was up there today having a look. The apartments seem nice. They're doing maintenance on them at the moment - painting etc.
I was shown the Show Apartment, which happened to be in A2 just downstairs from mine.
We can move in on the 18th, but you have to collect the key between 10am and 4pm - different times during the week.

A2 - 6 was the Show Apartment, yes!

I rang them to find out when I could move in, and they told me I'm in with all 1st years

Looks like a nice place. It's only about two minutes walk from DCU aswell. The Spar at the front seems to have everything you'd need, and the Omni Centre couldn't be more than 10 mins walk down the road. It's a big enough shopping centre.

anyone else in A5..

who all else is moving up on All Ireland final Sunday - ahh the joys of getting stuck in Drumcondra for 3 hours last year lesson learned though for this year :pac: :pac:

The apartment is pretty nice, yea
Yours had 4 rooms. It's 3 on the left and the other room and kitchen/living area on the right. (Strange that I'm telling you what your own flat looks like. I could have even been in your room :P)
I could be there on my own the first night, if the others don't have to start Monday. But it'll still be good to be in with other 1st years.
Yea, I'm sure I'll see you around on Sunday

The first years in Shanowen Square should arrange to meet up some apartment on Monday for a few drinks and a bit of craic, if I'm stuck with fourth years I want to at least know some first years in the place :L
