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!

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!

I'm doing history! Yeah I'd say so...only shared rooms left 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?
TexturedTie wrote: » Cheers it really is! Thank god we got there anyway! yeah I did...I'd say the waiting list is mad for single rooms. I'm not sure but I assume so! I'd say give them a ring to confirm! You going for Griffith so?
TexturedTie wrote: » 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!
TexturedTie wrote: » I'm really not sure to be honest! But I just went for Griffith because there's nothing else really! I'd say give them a ring tomorrow to sort it out!

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!
