    Hola, he vivido alli durante un año. Es un lugar horrible. Tratan muy mal a los estudiantes internacionales. No es un lugar seguro. Intenta mantenerte alejado, es muy caro para lo que es en realidad. A la gente que va de visita, para una noche si le gusta, pero si vas a estar mas tiempo, yo te aconsejo no quedarte alli.

    BAD SECURITY!!!
    try to avoid stay there!!!

    Just for the Spanish lad there...I did Spanish for the LC so I will give a go at translating:
    Hi I stayed here for a year.It is a horrible place.They
    treat the international students very badly.It is not a
    safe place....not sure what this sentance is... it is very
    expensive place for what it is in reality.to the person that
    is going to visit.by all means stay for a night if u want but
    if you are going to be staying longer.I wouldn't reccomend
    staying there.
    Not great but there ya go..It's very easy 2 forget what u learnt at school:)

    I read one or two people saying that they loved it and are going back, but I really think they were just lucky, they must have got a nice apartment and didn't have stuff going wrong all the time, so they didn't have to deal with that awful manager!

    Don't dread it, you could love it! the location is very good and hopefully you wil get an apartment of half decent quality! Just don't be afraid to stand up to the manager, he hasn't got a leg to stand on if you actually challenge him because more than likely he'll have been in the wrong!

    Focus on enjoying college :)!

    Im going back to Amhra this year! Just cant get myself to move further from town - the location is just way to good!
    Theyr not thaaaaat bad - you will definately have your days where you will rant thats it's a damn ****hole but if you keep it tidy it wont bug you too much! Biiig plus is you can have parties (if mentioned to flatmates :P) because there is no security and good aul Mike is never around unless phoned!

    Haha... This Amhra house place sounds like the Fawlty Towers of student accommodation!

    Great location though if it's where I think it is!

    It was my boyfriend that lived there, and he kept getting his mam to ring after Michael stopped answering his calls, but then Michael also stopped answering calls from his mam! The prick! Then they got our local TD ivolved, and it took him AGES to get a budge out of him! Eventually it all worked out and he got his deposit back, some serious hassle tho! :mad:

    Did you get your deposit back?

    Yep! To be fair we caused some awful damage and he went mental and told me not to repair anything that it would be taken from the deposit - i'd get it **** with the parents though and it says in the contract that you will be given a time frame to fix any damages or they come out of the deposit so i just fixed everything :) poor man kept coming back to us "Is this not the apartment that (names what we did)??" we played stupid then my dad left him a message when we moved out saying that he tidied and left the apartment perfect - €18 deduction each ;)
