The city's experiencing a MAJOR shortage, and the sooner you get on it, the better! Not to be a downer but it's just the reality.. Best of luck with it. Edit: Also, if you're unfamiliar with Dublin, feel free to give me a shout! Having scoured around in LOTS of different places before finding accommodation, I've a decent grasp of what certain areas are like. Feeling safe and sound when walking home at night really does make a difference to your experience of college
