    Hi there I am going to be studying an MA in Writing this academic year in September 2016/2017 and am currently househunting. Looking for a double ensuite within close proximity to the college. Does anyone have numbers for landlords - looking to get it sorted asap. PM me if you've got any info. Thanks in advance :)

    If a landlord is only offering a 1 year lease from now for a house, is there any way to just get it for the college year ( can it be arranged for someone else to stay for the summer if they like ) or how does it work

    I've got NUI Galway on my CAO and looked into a bit of house hunting. Seems that all on campus accommodation is gone so have to look for a room for first semester. Is August to late to leave this do you think?

    1) No, Corrib will give the room to the next person on the waiting list. You can't just skip an entire waiting list..
    2) No you dont

    From experience, August would be too late, especially with the current accommodation situation in Galway for students. Unless you want to live in digs or a hostel for the first semester, don't leave it until august. Some people I know left it till august and got extremely lucky, some(most) not so much so.

    Got it, I've put myself on as many waiting lists as I can. Could you just explain to me what exactly digs are? Are they just houses in which a family live and you rent a room?

    Thanks!

    Everyone on the waiting list for corrib village have an equal chance of getting a room. doesnt matter how long you were on the waiting list

    Hi, I just got my CAO offer for NUIG today. I have my name on several waiting lists for accomodation. Orientation starts in a week and I need accomodation by then. Does anyone know the chances of getting accomodation from these waiting lists, and if not, what other options are there? Thanks!

    Anyone here applying to Dunaras got any information from them about the online payment or deposit payment? They seemed to have an error in their systems but haven't gotten back to me yet 😬

    In the same boat. Anything posted in the House Hunting Galway is snapped up in seconds. Don't think I'll get a place for Monday at this point :(

    Yup! I'm on almost every waiting list. Apart from Corrib Village, has anyone heard of when any other student accommodations are filling extra rooms?

    I am on no waiting lists because I was hoping to get Cork, so I'm really under pressure trying to find somewhere but I'm still hopeful I'll get something sorted.

    Can't wait to meet you all in person guys and put faces to the names!

    And yes I am doing medicine

    Where have you tried? I'm looking around daft.ie and some others but everything seems very far away from the college itself. I'm sure you'll get somewhere!!
    Same aha! I'm the only person from my school year going to nuig so I literally know no one!

    Right a good thing to do would be to hit up studentpad http://www.nuigstudentpad.ie/Accommodation

    Its got a lot of accommodation advertised on it and also a message board where you can talk to other students who are looking for accommodation.

    You might want to look up a hostel in Galway for your first week there while you try and sort out accommodation just in case you've got nothing by Tuesday. This one is still accepting applications http://www.kinlaygalway.ie/student-accommodation-in-galway/

    medhopeful16, are you planning to do premed?

    I think they're supposed to contact you in the next week to let you know which one you're offered. I've already done a year of science so hoping to go straight in

    I'm also struggling to find accommodation, I'm on several waiting lists but was told yesterday I'm about 100th on the list. Found a digs option but its a bit expensive. about to go into 1st year and haven't been to Galway in years. How are others getting on.

    Haven't heard anything yet from waiting lists. Finding it difficult to find rented accomodation or flatshares that aren't 1 hour away from the college.

    I just got an email from Corrib Village about some free rooms but whenever I try and continue my application, it says 'this room is unavailable' for all the room options. So I'm guessing they're full?

    My son is on a waiting list for Corrib Village but has been told his chances are " slim". He wasn't fast enough with email response on Wednesday.
    He is on a list for Glasán village too but will be going to NUIG. Do any/ many NUIG students stay there?
