    If you don't get a place in the first and second rounds of offers, it doesn't mean you won't get one. People drop out/arrange other accommodation a few weeks into term which frees up more rooms, it happened to my friend and few other people I know and they got a call like 2 weeks later to tell them there was a place for them if they wanted it! You'll just need to arrange accommodation for the first month or so =)

    I keep hearing that there is always a few spare rooms as the year starts and hopefully that's the case so that I can get a place. If not I'll either try to be a "guest" in someone's place or sleep outside the gates until they give me a bed. My friend said someone actually did that once!

    Any chance of a Round 3? I am having zero luck with university related stuff, and it hasn't even started!

    No round 3, but if you get other accomodation on a pay by month basis, then you can spend the 1st month or so in a house while continuing to hassle them about accommodation and as we know rooms tend to free up throughout the year and early on.

    +1 to the depressing (if predictable) failure to get round 2 accom. So what now?...:confused: There weren't many second round offers were there....argh...

    @TexturedTie Glad I'm not the only person living in Cork to not get it...I think there's a secret conspiracy not to give halls places to people from the wild South West...!

    Somebody rang up and the person in the office told them that everything had been reviewed but the system doesn't update it. I love technologhy don't you, it's really made our lives so much more stress free.

    heyy :)

    I was just wondering if there were any other freshers now looking for private accommodation after not getting a place at trinity hall and whether people wanted to try to look for accommodation together? I'm moving from London and actually have no idea what to do!

    Right now I'm not too bothered about how many I'm sharing with - I spose anything from 3-6 would great! I live down in Cork as well (not in the city though - down west)...and am totally new to Dublin. I'm studying History & French :) Well...I'm thinking of heading up to the accommodation office at some point this week and seeing what they say; also could try and find some places online and check them out...are you in England atm?

    Awesome I've been talking to another girl on here who is doing history who is also looking for accommodation with other freshers :) She has been looking on daft and suggested that if we get a group together we could all look for a place to share? She also rang the accommodation office and said it would be a good idea to be quite close to trinity hall so we could still get involved in all the events and stuff there. That sounded like quite a good idea to me. yayy I finally know of someone who is doing my course! I'm getting a bit excited again after my initial i'm gunna be living out of a cardboard box panic :D During my first year I really wanna be living with other freshers and not end up living with like three 4th years or postgrad students.

    Haha yeah I've been to dublin once for about 12 hours. You're all doing history! I feel a bit left out :P Yeah I'm still in London, working everyday till the 15th so I actually have no idea how i'm going to be able sort this all out. I'd like to be able to visit the student unions accommodation advisory service because they don't have an email address or anything really so that I can contact them from here.

    Same, I said I was willing to share but didn't get a place. I was originally told I was going to have a good chance but I rang today again and was told it is completely random.

    Fortunately, they also told me that there are a few people who got shared but don't want them so they may drop out.

    I just think staying in Hall would make things a lot easier rather than going into private accommodation at the moment. Even for the first two semesters would do.

    Yeah I think Rathmines-ish area seems like a good place to look (close to town, loads of shops, safe, studenty etc etc); having had the briefest of looks on Daft seems to be a fair amount of properties around; defo a good idea to get a group together, the more sharing the more affordable it is - I would also prefer to be with freshers to avoid feeling kinda 'out of it'. Lol, a lot of homeless history students then! Had exactly the same panic but, I think it'll be really good once the whole accommodation issue is resolved. Well, I've been about 3 times in my life and not for a while so...in the same boat really! So what now, should we form a group and start the search?

    hello! I thought i'd just say hi! Im the girl lovetay was talking about.. and this group thing sounds like a fantastic idea.
    I am very very keen on getting involved with other freshers so this sounds perfect.
    I am from england - studying history - and have been to dublin once last summer for a weekend break and fell in love!

    Very excited especially now this accommodation seems to be coming together a bit more

    On the site it says my application hasn't been reviewed yet. I applied before the 26th but my number isn't on the list :S

    I'm from the north and chose that i'd prefer to share and i'd be willing to be in a mixed gender apartment so i thought i'd have a really good chance, i'm super confused can someone help me out? :S

    Same with me! I'm living in Mayo so I thought that'd mean I had a fairly good chance of getting Halls, but I don't think I'm on either of the provisional lists. Does anyone know if you get an email regardless of whether your application is accepted or declined, or is it only if you're accepted? According to the actual accommodation page my application has not yet been reviewed, but surely they're leaving it a bit late now?
