Anyone renting?

PittBrave

Hello!

My name is Daniel, I am a student from Romania and if everything goes well in a few months I will come in Ireland, at University of Limerick to study for one year. I have googled a bit the renting offers but as you might know, the ERASMUS grant is not that high and I can't afford most of the offers.

I was wondering if anyone around here is renting something at a lower price... if so, please reply here.

Thank you!

What kind of price range are you looking at?

The cheapest I've paid is €55 per week... you can probably get cheaper if you have a group of people and are willing to rent a house for a year. Obviously, an Erasmus student is less likely to have a group of people pre-arranged.

Most of the on-campus accommodation is a bit dearer, the off-campus tends to be in the 55-70 range before bills.

55 - 70 sounds quite good. And could someone please estimate the bills / month for an average dude?

You could look into living with a host family. I know a few Erasmus students who have done that.

Also not a bad idea. But how could I get in touch with them?
