    Is it too late to join in?! :o I was working all day, and didnt get a chance to get on this!

    Like a lot of ye, I'm from quite far way, I live on the Sligo/Mayo border, but I only got a second round offer aswell, so got in on the second round Trinity Hall applications and didnt get it! Did any of ye email about the cancellation waiting list?

    Yeah I put my name on that list. Did you get any confirmation email or anything cause I got no response!
    I put my name down too and I got nothing back!

    No I got nothing back either! I thought thought they might send some sort of confirmation email just so you know they got it and you're on the list!

    No, there's too many applying for the list. Ring them up and ask them have they gotten your email about it, and ask them if they've had any cancellations etc.

    I'm trying to decide if I should or not, I know there aren't many places left! It's just if something else came up, that'd be my second deposit lost, and I just couldn't afford that!

    Ha I'm in the exact same position, my deposit was from ucd! did you get a second round cao offer? ya it all comes down to whether you can hold out and see if anything comes up in halls, but its really hit or miss

    I know! they said at first I might lose some of the payment aswell because while I had the room nobody else could have it but I didnt pay anything til the 2nd round just to see what happened, and it worked out!

    Got Law and Business, went to random selection in the first and second rounds! what about you? Ya I was told the same thing by them aswell, but id say they probably are nearly full!

    ha thanks, I was delighted! congrats to you aswell! :) I know, its such a money-making racket!

    Did you apply for a twin room in Griffith? I was wondering if you apply for a single room, and they have none left, do they offer you a sharing room, or what happens?

    Hey All,

    Just been let down by someone last minute. :(

    I am renting an apartment in the City Centre, Bolton St, looking for one female to share twin room. The new link is: www.daft.ie/3645374

    Any female who didn't get Halls and looking for accommodation please PM me at absolutely any time.

    I'm still undecided!! :confused: It says on the website that if you apply for a single room and they don't offer you one, you'll be refunded; but I wonder if you apply for a single room and they offer you a shared room instead, could you get your money back?

    Go for it! :) that's grand so! give it a go anyway! yeah it says that if you apply for a room and don't get the type you want then you get a refund if you don't take it but if you do then its used as a deposit and to pay a bit of rent!

    Im so indecisive!! I just had another look at the form; so basically if you only put down your first choice, and you don't get it, you'll get everything back; but if you put down a 2nd and 3rd choice, and they offer one of them to you, you won't be refunded?!

    I'm thinking of going to Griffith too cause I kind of want to stay in a Halls type of thing in first yr! If there's a good few trinity first years there then it might be good craic! Only thing is, if you book into Griffith, your sort of stuck in and you won't be able to get into halls if people drop out after the upgrades and stuff! Ah stress! I went up there today, its pretty basic, no oven, the shower is literally a corner in the bathroom that you pull a curtain around, but, it has everything you need really! its two double rooms to an apartment, if i thought i could get in an apartment with 3 other first yr trinners girls, i would really consider it!

    Ya definitely for first year it's a great idea! Is it just 2 sharing rooms and a bathroom per apartment? Ya that's what I'm afraid of, that if you book it you're stuck, but ya could be shooting yourself in the foot too if you don't book it and don't get Halls! :(
