Does anyone know when we will be likely to find out if we have been offered rooms?

Last year we had to accept by 20th may; Can't be too long from now?

Kwekubo · 11-05-2011 08:51PM

This week, or so I have been told.

Crania · 12-05-2011 02:58PM

It's pretty ridiculous how long we have had to wait. We applied back in March. Surely they could've had it all sorted before the exams started?

I hope you're right that it's this week.

I applied for on-campus and I'm doing a postgrad.
I got an email on Monday (9th May) to say that no more postgraduates will be offered main campus accommodation.

They did reserve a spot for me in Trinity Halls but I declined the offer.

Thats the postgrad room allocations though. Undergrads are waiting to find out about their rooms

Doesn't look like it'll be today eithier. Probably not til late next week what with this royal visit as well

Was there a greater than usual number of applicants than normal this year? what % of third years get on campus spots does anyone know, roughly?

Dingle Ranger · 13-05-2011 10:41PM

The only 3rd years who can get are people who qualify through disability and those who get them has DUCAC or CSC guarantees for sports club and society involvement.

13-05-2011 10:51PM

ya was aware of that but was just wondering whether it was good enough to be on the committee of a club/society but I'd imagine its certain clubs etc

Yeah societies get awarded them based on the CSC awards. Say society of the year would be given two rooms. Every club gets one for its captain AFAIK

cheers..not so sure if every club gets one for the captain..think there might only be 8 club rooms available...for the major sports I presume.

But some postgrads got on campus? I (as a future fourth year) applied with three postgrads, and we'd all rather like to be on campus...

Yeah some do but I think they have some sort of limit on it. Unless the people you have applied with have received an e-mail saying otherwise, I would say it is safe to presume that they are being offered accommodation.

gearoidof · 14-05-2011 02:49PM

Schols are exempt from the limits obvously,

And no, club captains most certainly do not all get free on campus accom.

British sports + Gaelic + soccer get it, I think, and that's about it.

I didn't say they get free accommodation. They just get guarantees of an offer.

And sorry I got it wrong about the club captain thing. It is only the bigger clubs that get a room. I know swimming club captain gets one aswell. Sub-aqua too.

Not with all this talk of potentially putting scholars in trinity hall (as is my concern).

Do people really think this will happen? I checked the box on my application saying that I didn't mind being placed in another location but I presumed it meant I would be on campus or in Goldsmith.

I found out about putting scholars in Halls afterwards and I'm in James's for lectures which is ages away from there

Didn't stop a rejection this year though, at least at first.

I heard Barra put an end to that, so no i don't think it will happen.

Halls is a 15 minute cycle from james's

gamma23 · 17-05-2011 09:14AM

Every time I get an email I think it might be about campus next year, buts its always something I dont care about. When are they gonna send this stuff out??? Then again I guess the office is closed today so not much chance it will be today.

19-05-2011 11:32AM

Anytime now...surely....maybe not...

cookiemonst3r · 19-05-2011 12:57PM

Just got my offer! Botany Bay...

Check your emails!

gamma23 · 19-05-2011 01:03PM

Perfect!

d93c2inhxfok4y · 19-05-2011 01:04PM

Just got mine too, Goldsmith. Kinda disappointed, thought schols would have swung campus and a lot of people I know seem to have gotten campus.

nicola09 · 19-05-2011 01:19PM

Got Goldsmith as well, house 61, I was hoping to miraculously be offered front square or something but I suppose I'll get there eventually!

Fringe · 19-05-2011 01:38PM

Goldsmith 64!

Crania · 19-05-2011 01:59PM

Didn't get an offer. Very disappointed. Put myself down for the waiting list. Hopefully I'll still get an offer.

I'm 4th Year and from well outside Dublin although I applied very late (second last day) so that may have been a factor.

I'll be very pissed if I don't eventually get an offer and someone from Dublin, who's not a Scholar or sports captain, gets one, which I know several cases of from last year.

Liquorice · 19-05-2011 05:09PM

I was in Front Square this year and Goldsmith last year and honestly they're comparable from the inside. The living area and kitchen were bigger in front square but apart from that there was no major difference in the quality of life I had in either.

Got offered GMB; haven't even finished applying for my masters yet so I'm gonna hang on to make sure they don't tell me to eff off before putting a deposit down.
