Campus Accommodation

Do you mean this? https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10151461778144094&set=a.445856424093.243499.356082694093&type=1&theater

Yeah, they said that was what caused the delay and that they expected to release them mid-June, if I remember correctly, so it should be any day now.

I have no idea I'm afraid, sorry. That list is the first round, and it also doesn't include scholars - don't know about society people.

This is the reply I received, so the outcome of the application should be known by 22nd July

Hi Claudia,

The review of PG room applications will begin on 8th July. It is expected that rooms will be offered by 22nd July; unsuccessful students will be notified by email immediately.

Regards,
Linda

Really? Well I have no idea then! I am a postgraduate student, and I got told that Trinity Halls are no longer reserved for Postgraduate students, but now they will end up living in the Campus. This was the previous email:

Hi Claudia,

Postgraduate students will not be housed in Trinity Hall for the coming academic year.

It is hoped that campus rooms will be allocated to postgraduate students in July; the process has been delayed this year due to the introduction of new IT systems.

We will be in touch with you again in due course.

Regards,

Linda

I would like to know as well. My plan is to wait until the 22nd july when they seemingly make a decision, and then start to look for a place on my own. Is daft.ie the only option to look for a place? Although I reckon it is still a bit early

Open evenings? What's that? I have found no rooms but that's maybe cause I don't know how to look for them lol. I selected like places available to move in from september and there was nothing lol

I don't know that unfortunately , if they rejected my application I will have to start to look for a place. I am coming to visit Dublin August and just for a couple of days, I guess I should sort everything out when I am over there. Bit tricky indeed

Well maybe you should try to contact them! My number is not even on the list I am starting to lose hopes lol

I spoke to Accommodation a few days ago to find out when I might hear about Trinity Hall and was also told that PG students would not be allocated a room there and would be passed back to campus. When I then spoke to someone about getting a room on campus, one person told me that they thought it was a possibility... but passed me on to somebody else, who is apparently the font of all knowledge on accommodation at TCD, who told me that less than 1% of PG students who apply get a place in campus accommodation. She also said that given that English is my first language, even though I'm from overseas, that my chances of getting a room are slim to none.

I believe there are around 300-350 places on campus, but these are split between all the scholars and society people who get rooms... and she also mentioned something about how my chances were worse because they are renovating two (or more) buildings so these aren't being given out making the number of PG students getting a place that much slimmer...

I've started to look, but I'm not having much luck... Think I'm going to have to arrange a trip over to Ireland before September to get something sorted. I just wish we had been told that Trinity Hall weren't going to offer places back when I applied... I wouldn't have bothered, and could probably have arranged something else!

Received my confirmation today as well!

I'm an American coming to study Medicine- perhaps I received an early acceptance because I'm an international student?

Oh dear, I haven't heard anything yet. The chances that less than 1% PG students getting a place is rather shocking! I was expecting trinity college to be more organised. I hope I will hear from them soon, because otherwise I will need to find another way to get a place, which I suppose is only daft.ie.

Though I haven't seen many places on there either I am starting to worry

Which email was that?

I don't know what I'm going to do now; it's all rather terrifying!!
