    Well whats the story with that.

    I presume they will be no shortage of it as the place will be dead but i want to know will they offer it at a discount to try and fill places.

    (UCC offer half price as far as i heard) so can i expect anything like this from them??

    I know they rent out College park during the summer, tho I'd say the prices are HIGHER cuz there is a demand for them. AFAIK its like people on holliers and whatnot.

    I could be totally wrong tho. :)

    They charge a hell of a lot more during the summer for campus accommodation. They turn it into a hotel-like place for the summer. A room with a double bed costs around €75 a night, while a room with a single bed costs around €50. That was what the price was last year anyway, roughly. It's not worth staying there really during the summer coz it's too expensive.

    The Section 50 almost-on-campus accommodation is cheaper in the summer as far as I know...

    Not sure about the post grad residences, but the normal residences (College Park, etc.) are run as a hotel. They don't do discounts for students at all.

    Accomadation is incredibly hard to come by on res during the summer. CTYI have a lot of it booked for a good 6 weeks at least. Foreign students have it booked for the rest of the summer really. We thought it'd be possible to do and looked into it two years ago but by mid-semester 2 it was all booked out aside from a week here and there.

    There's a link somewhere on the DCU page (probably accomadation section) to prices and bookings and availability checks. I saw it sometime during the summer just gone.
