First year accomodation?

lauz94

Hi I just got accepted into a course in Trinity and now want to apply for accomodation in Trinity Halls,do we need a student ID number to apply and if so,where do we get it?

I think you use your CAO number for the application? It's been a year so not sure but I'm like 90% certain that's the case.

In order to apply you must have your Trinity College Student ID number. Once you have been accepted to study at Trinity you will receive an official letter of offer which will include this number

im applying for shared accommodation ..

is anyone else? Because i'd prefer to apply with someone because then you have a much greater chance of getting in!

Think i'm gonna just apply for a single room and if I don't get it i'll have to look elsewhere! when are we able to apply?

I applied for shared when i was in halls, knew nobody else going to Trinity and they matched me up with someone else from the North, similar interests and stuff. I don't think it increases your chances of getting in if you apply with someone. To be honest, it's more likely that you will get in than that you won't...but shared accommodation is SO worth it! Rooms are about 3 or 4 times the size of a single and it's much less lonely too!

Your student ID is your CAO number. It will be printed on the letter they send you as well, but it's the same thing so...

Hi Lauz,

Just an update, your CAO number is NOT the number yo apply to halls with. You should be sent an email containing a Trinity ID (This is new this year) and you need to apply for halls with this number.

Applications will open at Lunch time today, so between now and 3.

So we should expect the email from Trinity soon,and it would be to the same email address that we gave to the Cao?

Glad to hear other people are waiting too,was beginning to wonder if I was supposed to have received one already

Are they sending to our CAO email? I guess that's the only one they have.

Anyone know the chances of getting the accomm if you're appling for shared with someone?

Your email address that CAO have been sending things to, the one you supplied them with when you first registered
