I was going to post in the DCU accommodation page on Facebook but a lot of them seem like second and third years renting out rooms I don't think it's for incoming first years to post into haha

Renting in Dublin is very expensive at the moment and it can be difficult to get somewhere decent without paying an absolute insane amount. Drumcondra has a ton of student houses and you might be lucky to get a good deal there. Dead handy for DCU too, particularly if you're up the North end. Santry, Glasnevin, Phibsborough all good areas for a cheap/free commute too. Just keep looking at Daft but you might be a bit early in the year yet. Landlords often rent out student houses for short-term over the Summer so a lot of properties won't appear until around August.

Went house hunting on Thursday, and got offered very poor properties, many properties atm are for summer let only, as the landlords appear to be holding the property for other students for the coming academic year. Best to wait a week before Leaving Cert results come out. But beaware, the later you leave searching for a house, the dearer the rent may be, and the more pressure there will be on you!
