Still waiting for my e-mail and my mother keeps asking me when I'm going to apply.

Good to see that others haven't got an e-mail yet though.

Hey!

I just got an offer, which i haven't accepted yet, but i'm thinking about accomodation and stuff. I don't know that much about trinity hall, other than that theres two types of accomodation there - the modern one and cunningham house.

Looking at the rates, cunningham house looks alot more affordable! But i wonder if its maybe not as fun to live in? does anyone whose lived there before know more about it? Is the social life as good there? Is it split into little apartments like the modern accomodation or is it just lots and lots of rooms with shared kitchen and bathroom facilities? would anyone recommend one type of accomodation over the other?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

are they all coming at different times?! i have yet to receive mine!

As has been stated previously, your CAO number is not your TCD ID number. This is the first year that the CAO number does not become the TCD ID number.

I am told that the TCD ID number will be emailed this evening. Presumably this will be to the contact email you provided to the CAO.

Your TCD ID number will be loaded to their online accommodation application system tomorrow morning. It appears there are some teething problems with new student records systems which is responsible for this delay.

I'm only starting this year as well, but one major difference between the two is that Cunningham has wifi, while modern accomodation doesn't.

I've seen both, so I can tell you that Modern LOOKS a lot nicer. I don't know whether that matters to you or not.

Obviously Modern Rooms are ensuite and you're only sharing a kitchen with 6 people. You only have a washing-basin in in your room in Cunningham and you're sharing a kitchen with greater numbers of people.

Thats clever, although as an only child i'm not sure how well I would cope with shared...

I know its first come first served, but something in me is just saying come on come on ahhhh wanting to do it asap haha...

For the people who used thier CAO numbers, did you guys then get a new number because my CAO number and my Student ID number aren't the same.

Is that normal? =/

lauz94
