All GMIT accommodation related stuff thread

[Deleted User]

Because this topic seems to come up a lot, what are people's opinions of the accomodation in or around GMIT?

First off; I'll attempt to go through the student villages. If I miss anything, please let me know.

Glasan Student Village - It is quite literally a minute walk across the road. Facilities include: Laundrette, Restaurant (though I hear rumours that this is closing down?), shop.

Gleann Na Ri - A 5-10 minute walk to the front gate of Gleann Na Ri. Nice enough apartments. Facilities include: Laundrette, fast-food restaurant, shop, creche.

Cuirt Na Rasai - A 10-15 minute walk from GMIT. I'm not entirely sure what facilities there are. Hopefully someone will let me know.

If you do not wish to live in the Student Villages, there are many student-friendly houses in the vicinity. Ballybane, Lurgan Park, to name but a few. You can use www.daft.ie and the Galway Advertiser website, which gets updated every wednesday online I believe.

Any more enquiries can be asked here, or you should check out the Accomodation office in GMIT itself.

BTW the restaurant is just getting renovated

With Glasan:
Pro's:
Its really close to GMIT (really handy)
Good craic

Con's:
Management will screw you on deposit,and bills etc.(There assholes)
It's can get really loud
Secuirty is a joke
No washing machines/dryer's.
The internet is ridiculously slow(Its like 56k,:pac:)

Cuirt na Rasai: I lived here during the year and its a really great place,management are sound as,the apartments are a good size/comfortable
The broadband goes down quite abit but its really fast otherwise (+5megs).

The only quarrel i'd have with Cuirt na Rasai is that it definately isnt 15 mins walk,its a solid 25mins,20mins if your an olympic walker,some people might contest this,but there blowing ****e, believe me I've been at it all year! :mad:

TL;DR Version: Glasan for closeness
Cuirt na Rasai if you have a car!
Lurgan Park/Belmont if your with friends!

Hope this helps!

No harm in trying to apply now I suppose. Especially if you're trying to share an apartment with somebody

I may be wrong, but I think you have to pay for ESB?

The internet in glasan is awful. All sorts of firewalls and its as slow as a wet week.

The Student Union also have a list of private accomodation that is catered towards students
http://www.gmitsu.ie/uploads/Private%20Accommodation%2009-10.pdf

This list gets updated once or twice a week and is quite useful.

I'm hoping that someone can help me;
living in rented accommodation and my washing maching has been broken for a months,it was replaced but that one didn't work either, so i've been ringing both landlord and the company who left the other washing machine...this company keeps promising to fix it every day but hasn't done so.. landlord has been calling too... ( so they say!)

could some one advise me as to who should be calling the company, and what should i do as it nearly two months?any other action i could take?

please any advise would be great!:)

ARGINITE

If you go to the student union they should be able to give you advice, it's what they are their for.

Best of luck.

AFAIK it should be the landlord who sorts this out.

Yep this is definitely the landlords problem.

Contact threshold in Galway for advice. Your landlord is pulling the p*** and needs a root up the h***. Threshold will inform you of your rights and how best to approach your landlord (i.e. nice big legal words to get him off his lazy a***)

You should try looking for a room in Wellpark or Tara Grove, they're right beside Cluain Mhuire. Check out the Galway advertiser accommodation pages...
