    So I'm 18, female & starting in DCFE in a few weeks, gonna be doing music production. I don't know anyone going to college in Dublin so I'm looking for people to share a house with! I don't mind sharing with males or females, as long as you're not dry sh¡tes it's all good ha :D I'm really easy going, love going out, gigs etc.. so I'd like to share with similar people! I'd like a room of my own and I wouldn't want to pay more than €350 a month! Anyone interested? :)

    Hi there! My brother is in the same boat at you. Just reply myself as he doesn't have an account on here. He thought he found a house but then it fell through...very hard to find somewhere in the area!

    He is actually doing the same course as you, is 20 very easy going etc..

    Maybe if a few people wanting to live in the same area could reply to this thread and ye could rent a house together? There are a few houses around DL but you'd need a few people to bring the rent down! I go to college in Cork and it's SO much easier to find accom there!

    Anyway, look forward to hearing from you!

    Hey there, I'm in the same boat looking for a place around there at the moment.
    I'm 18, just starting out in college in IADT (hopefully), I'd be interested in joining this. I'll be studying Audio Visual Media Technology.
    Just looking for laid back (not messy!) people :) I'm open minded, like going to gigs, meeting new people and so on!
    Let me know anyway if anything spouts up!

    So that's 3 of us so far.. this could work :D 1 or 2 more people would be good to make the rent less expensive! Where should we be looking? I looked at houses on daft.ie but it's hard to know what the price would really be without knowing how many people would be living in it! Either of you have any ideas? I don't know Dublin that well so I wouldn't be too sure what areas I should be looking at


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23 Nippleh


    I don't know, I've just been looking in places in Dun Laoghaire and Blackrock and those sort of surrounding areas. I'm pretty unsure too though! Rent.ie is another good place to look

    Hey guys, sorry for butting in :p me and my friend are in the same boat, Dun Loaghaire is very dear to rent in the cheapest places ive seen start at around 450 per person per month!

    Yeah they're pretty expensive. I was thinking rent could be cheaper by doing it this way rather than moving into a room in a house that people already live in.. But it's hard to know! Would you & your friend be interested in doing this too? Like a few of us together finding a house? If so then I think we should all look on those websites like daft.ie & rent.ie and send links of what houses look good :)

    Hey!

    I was looking on Daft/Rent.ie and a lot of the houses I've found seem to only have 2-3 bedrooms...which is a problem! Would be quite expensive. Keep me updated anyway!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32 _linz_


    Hey :) I'm not sure if my friend is interested yet but if shes not. I saw this 4 bed place for 1500 a month i'd say if that doesnt include utilities it would work out about 400 a month or less...its the cheapest I've seen yet http://www.daft.ie/searchrental.daft?id=1245761

    According to google maps it's only a few minutes from my college so yeah it's sounding alright so far! Doesn't look like that nice of a house but sure I suppose we can't afford to be picky haha :pac: I'll have a look too & see it I come across any others! That one says it has 2 double bedrooms & 2 single bedrooms so does that mean 6 of us could live there if some people don't mind sharing a room? What college/course are you & your friend doing? :)

    I'm starting college next month in Dun Laoghaire, been looking at different options aswell. I'm going to SCD myself which is close to DCFE. I know its odd when no one knows each other really on here but I would like to express my interest in this idea, and even if we don't end up sharing together we might at least help one another out securing somewhere to stay.

    Yeah I know we don't know each other here but I like knowing I'd be living with other students :) what course are you doing?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32 _linz_


    Going into second year in sallynoggin college of further education studying advanced hair and beauty :) i stayed in digs last year on my own cause I knew no one coming up but I wasn't really able to have the craic or the 'college experience' so wanted i change this year :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61 ✭✭board stiff


    You're not a stranger, just a friend I haven't already met :) I'll be doing Creative Multimedia next month hopefully, Music Production sounds interesting. The best I can do is twinkle twinkle little star on the piano, almost.

    Well that's why I want to get a house with other students so I think we're on the same page haha :P are you gonna ask your friend if she's interested in this too? :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32 _linz_


    Yep ill say it to her first thing tomorrow :) oh and for that house i think the double rooms have double beds so unless people want to share beds id say it would only fit 4 :P

    Good point :P Haha well tbh I can't do much with it either but hopefully I'll learn! I still need to get my Leaving Cert results on Wednesday to be sure that I'm going but I only need 2 Cs so it's not too much to ask for! Where are you from? :)

    Oh right didn't think of that! Ok well tell us what she says when you know :) if she's up for it then maybe we should e-mail the agent to sort out a viewing? Well after Wednesday anyway I suppose just to be sure I get the grades I need :pac:

    Best of luck to you. I'm from the north west of this lovely country, though I have visited Dublin regularly. If I find a place to stay it will be nice to go to a gig/show and not have to think about driving back up after it.

    Thanks! I'm from the north west as well :) I've been in Dublin a good bit too, it's so different to where I live but it's always good craic! Did you look at the house in that link?

    Yeah I had a look at it. That was a fair point from _linz_ about the bedrooms, but 4 should cover the costs if my basic math skills are ok. The place looks good enough from the pics. Was just checking the dublin bus website there, bus stop is very close to the house which is nice.

    Yeah I guess there won't be much going for less than €375 each anyway! Would be cool if it was single beds though so everyone who replied here could get it! Any chance you could give me a link to the bus stop that is near the house so I can see which buses stop at it? Are you going alone too or do you have friends in Dublin or anything? :)

    I'm going alone :( I have a friend and relation in Dublin but they are both in the city centre. Even though its easy to get out there the constant travelling would put me off, I'd rather be closer to where I'm studying then I can decide whenever I want to go into the city. PMd the link to you.

    Well loads of us are in the same boat so it won't be too bad! least thanks to this thread we'll be familiar with a few people :p yeah I thought the same.. living in the city seems like it'd be more fun 'cause you'd be closer to everything but I wouldn't be bothered with the travelling to college every day either!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45 original username1


    Lia_lia & Nippleh take a look at these too :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45 original username1


    I like this one http://www.rent.ie/houses-to-let/6-Glen-Drive-The-Park-Cabinteely-Dublin-18/1240950/

    If Google Maps is right then it's not too far from either of our colleges. I know it says something about a 'family house' but do you think it matters? It has 5 bedrooms but could fit 7 people 'cause it has 2 twin rooms


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32 _linz_


    Hey my friend isnt interested but i am ha :P the link of the house i put up is really near dun laoghaire and the number 7 bus goes right passed it :)

    They both seem similar distances from Dun Laoghaire, 7/8 minutes! I wouldn't know that area of Dublin well so I'm just going by what the Internet says though, could be wrong. It's just that the Cabinteely one is a bit cheaper, well if we get at least 5 people for the rooms that is! & there's 5 of us that replied here. Dublin Bus website is confusing me but it seems like there are bus stops a few minutes from the house. We should see any house before we make a decision anyway :)

    Could that count as 1 academic year, like September-May/June?
