Accommodation for Student in Gti galway

The past few years have been absolutely manic for new students trying to get accomodation. The Galway Advertiser has the biggest & best list of rentals. The paper comes out on Thurs. but you can pick up the accomodation list at 2pm on the weds from their office on eyre square for a small fee (1 or 2 euro). This time of year there can be a queue of 100 - 200 metres of people for this list, so u need to be very quick. I queued 2 years ago - there were approx 100 people in front of me, I got the list and the first 20 places I called were all gone. I didn't find the accomodation agencies much use - they all said they would call back but never did. A lot of the auctioneers have places for rent but will only rent a house or apt, not a room. For GTI, any place in the city centre, father griffin road / whitestrand area would be best.
Best of luck and don't forget ur umbrella

Or it's on-line at the same time, for free.

Here's a hint: Most people start at the top of the list. A few start at the bottom. So - where in the list will YOU start???
