    What way do they offer it? For my catogory theres 476 Spaces, does that mean the first 476 people will get offered a place at 4pm tomorrow and its first come first served or is it like 50 places offered per day?

    Im in 3rd year arts and wasnt on campus last year so it's the first time applying as a continuing undergrad, will merville and belgrove be likely to be full? I also have a friend I want to room with, what are the chances there are two rooms in one appartment?

    I just came across this and dont go to UCD but I'm trying to understand this system because it seems completely stupid.

    You waited until a time where they allowed you to join a list, they then allow you to pick your booking based on this list and theres only a certain amount of places each day?

    Don't know how else they could do it though. If they told everyone it would be open at 8 and it opened as soon as the clock struck 8 then everyone would be hitting refresh and the thing would crash which would lead to more complaints.

    They leave it until a random time and done people slip up and don't hit the button quick enough.

    Anyone else get this message or something like it when trying to pay the deposit?

    "Your transaction has been successful but there was a problem connecting back to the merchant's web site. Please contact the merchant and advise them that you received this error message. Thank you."

    When I checked SISWeb after reading it my deposit was still showing up as unpaid, but I'm afraid to go again in case the card gets charged twice. Should I give UCD a ring about it or would they be useless?

    That happened me before. Don't think they charge you twice anyway. Try it again. It might have something to do with the bank card.

    Anyone else had it absolutely freak out and tell you you weren't on a waitlist midway through the booking process?

    Not a clue what happened but I somehow managed to get a room in Roebuck after a lot of clicking!

    Hi!
    I am an international student deciding where to live this coming fall. I am studying science and would like to be close to a bus to get in to city center. From what I have read, I have gathered that glenomena and roebuck are the best residences, but I'm not sure which to choose. Any advice would be helpful!
    Thanks

    Yes I also have not received notification about my deposit, UCD need to get their act together.

    That happened to me, my mam had to ring the bank, explain what was going on, and get a reference number from them, and then she rang UCD Residences and told them the problem and quoted the number and the time the payment was made. They said they'd try to sort it out and get back to us when they did.

    They just got back to us a few minutes ago and everything's sorted, I have my room and my deposit paid! So I'd give that a go, and if you know the exact room you booked, that helps, but it's not necessary, just tell them as much as you can.

    There's a chance they might not be able to get back to you 'til the morning, though, I was told I might have to wait 'til tomorrow but it ended up being solved in less than an hour.

    Ok, can anyone explain why they can't send all offers on one day?? I'm going into third year so I'm in the continuing students category. Now the capacity for that is 285 and I got 283 (pretty close I know) so basically I should get an offer right? So why not?

    God damn it UCD, ill never understand you :(

    Also what was the story when people were booking? Merville and gleno gone? :(
