Anyone thinking of Accomodation yet???

Secoundrow · 16-06-2009 2:38pm #1

Im just wondering has any one booked accomodation yet for yere first choice or think is it grand to leave tat till after the offers?????:rolleyes:

Dj Stiggie · 16-06-2009 2:55pm

I was gonna leave it til after the offers. Is it something I should be looking into now?

likely_lass · 16-06-2009 3:09pm

not something i have to worry about but am i wrong in thinking its a bit crazy to sort it before offers - its not like youll have trouble finding somewhere the rental markets flooded

corkkerry · 16-06-2009 3:14pm

ive a placed booked 2 mins from UCC in student accom, nice place too

But looking likely that i could be going to UL, anyone in similar situation have a place booked in UL but could be going to UCC, if you want to swap , PM me.

Thanks!

Well if you're looking for on campus I would recommend placing a reservation/application ASAP. AFAIK, those have been up since February, so it would be (possibly) beneficial to have an application in sooner rather than later.
Otherwise, I would say to try and find something between the exams and results in the area of your choices.

christina_x · 16-06-2009 3:35pm

my friend is in first year in NUIG and he was going bananas at me until i booked something. and he was right, theyre was two places that were booked out for first and second years when i was booking! Anybody hoping for Galway would need to start looking now!

Secoundrow · 16-06-2009 4:02pm

tootyflutty · 16-06-2009 4:06pm

Yep am booked!

I applied for my on campus one, but then looked at housing websites and found other student houses for like €200 a month.

yummy91 · 16-06-2009 5:16pm

It depends were you're going coz theres some places that you have to apply to before the results, like most have already applied to nuig and nuim has to be applied to either,, for on campus anyway!!:)

-ilikeshorts · 16-06-2009 6:16pm

I would have booked but I dont no where most colleges in the country seem to have student accomodation but I'm planning on going to dublin and can only seem to find like 2 places for an entire city surely someone knows somewhere

Jay P · 16-06-2009 6:30pm

Yeah, I booked a few months ago in Cork. I decided in October that I'm going there. My top two courses are in UCC, and I'm definitely gonna get my first course, so I'm not too worried!

Piste · 16-06-2009 7:05pm

I have my lovely bedroom in my house really near UCD and Trinity :pac:

16-06-2009 7:17pm

My top two choices are in Trinity, so I'm in no rush to sort out accommodation (as you can't apply for accommodation until you get accepted, which is such a brilliant system).

AMixedBag · 16-06-2009 7:21pm

nah, haven't sorted out a thing.
Gonna chillax for the summer and when the time is right, I'll think about it..

Jammyc · 16-06-2009 11:09pm

God, Id love to be moving out next year. But the more I think of it, the more I realise how much of a child I still am and how much I couldnt afford it! Im pretty grand tho where I am, only an 84 or a DART away from either Trinity and UCD, whichever happens.

snazzy · 17-06-2009 4:05pm

All booked!

I've booked a place in Kilmurry village in UL as my top two choices are there! Fingers crossed!

ya-ba-da-ba-doo · 17-06-2009 4:26pm

Phibsborough would be ideal if you could get a place. You got the 10 for UCD, A loada buses for TCD and 19a/4/4a for DCU..
Cabra would be good either(train to maynooth on top of that) or anywhere in town but I'm not an expert on getting accomodation..I'm staying at home

D.R cowboy · 17-06-2009 5:07pm

UCC is ****e to get a place to stay WTF? why will they not wait for the results to come out.

I think they were all booked within 48 hours for 1st years?
Sure the waiting list is always an option plus was told there is tons of accomadation around the campus not run by the college itself

I did not know that, great stuff! Haven't sorted anything, I've got TCD, UCC, NUIG, RCSI, and DCU on the CAO and not the vaguest of notions where I'll end up so it seems a bit pointless.

yurmothrintites · 22-07-2009 11:00pm

There is a surplus of flats, houses and digs in Dublin so there won't be a big rush to run and get a place on the day of results. Most landlords will be happy to get any tenants with the present economy.
www.daft.ie is a good bet or college campus is fantastic craic, if you are easy going and like living in your and other's filth with little sleep!

Extrasupervery · 25-07-2009 8:06pm

I'm renting someplace near UCD, have a few places in mind. PM me if you're doing likewise.

I know the on campus accom there is great but it's too 'spensive!

OneArt · 26-07-2009 1:15pm

I think I'll just live at home next year... All my colleges are in Dublin, it's only a half hour away AND I can keep my job.

Feck it I'll be going to Germany in third year anyway.

Anyone thinking of Accomodation yet???
