Hey! Just wondering if anyone's gonna be moving to athlone this September!! Looking for an apartment myself as I do t really wanna be in student digs! Just wondering if there's anyone out there in the same boat??

I'm moving in with a couple of friends myself but if you find yourself stuck I know a room in a house close to college for 50 euro a week, it's not a student house. I lived there myself last year and I'm friends with the landlord. I say if you are stuck because it wasn't the cleanest of houses but it would have been ok if we could have been bothered to make a rota, it's one of those oldish houses that are cold and have avocado coloured bathroom fittings, doesn't take a lot to make them look grotty. That said it's a short walk to the college and it's in a quiet estate. I'd avoid the students apartments, the noise is unreal. I'd avoid willow park too, it's not very safe and some of the houses really are grim.

Great well that's four of us. All we need is a house. Guess we may wait till next week and ask around yeah? If one of us finds somewhere decent then we can sort introductions and stuff like that I'm a first year too, dunno if I said that already.

That's grand just be careful cos some of the ads on daft are actually houses that are taken already

Alright guys, the house in cypress gardens is still available at the minute. it'd be €162.50 each a month but then theres electricity, heading and refuse bills on top of that. we'd want to be getting a move on if we want the house because it sounds like they've had a few people interested in the house already. NiallDoherty had a good point too, its a 1 year lease MINIMUM so we'd have to pay rent for the summer too.
Just have a quick think about it and let me know cos i'll have to give the people a shout back to try and chat to the landlord before someone else gets it.
