Hi Guys, looking to head to DKIT this year. Any advice on Dundalk Student Village? What's the on campus accommodation like and are there security on site?

I'm looking to live somewhere quiet enough but still want to get to know lots of people? Also haven't heard much about Mournview. It looks nice - just wondering has anyone any experience of it? Suggests and help very much appreciated.

Well if ur looking for somewhere quiet stay away from the student village

Hi! Hope you end up in Dundalk in September... its a great college! The student Village, as anywhere has its pros and cons. Pros being.... Great for getting to know people, Close to the college, reasonably safe. Cons being... Expensive, Living with 4 other people can be a nightmare (It only takes one), and i found the inventory to be terrible.

As for Mournview, I have never stood foot in the place. To b honest... it is generally avoided by irish students and occupied by eramus students. It not no only student accommodation.. to my knowledge it is also occupied by some families.

Mid summer the Student Union will issue the accommodation list and you should find it easy enough to find a nice house/room to rent.

hope this helped

Hi!
I have applied for DKIT....obviously don't have the results yet, but it would be nice to get to know some people before I get there. I'd love to share house if I get accepted. I hope to study business with event management. Im friendly, easy going and very sociable person

if you want to get to me know better, don't hesitate to text me

aroch10 · 14-07-2012 8:39pm

paulc216 · 01-09-2012 5:37pm

eyssy12 · 01-09-2012 5:47pm

hey paul, im still looking for a place myself here. Is that the house you posted right there you made a deposit on? Is there broadband there aswell?

paulc216 · 01-09-2012 7:06pm

hey yea i paid a deposit today...the landlord said tat if we gt a full house the rent will only be 55 a week and im the only person whos paid my deposit on the house yet and the house sleeps 6....house seems great bt id advise 2 go up and have a look urself, only thing is the house hasnt any broadband

. Yea tats the house on the link. Give the landlord a call sure.

eyssy12 · 01-09-2012 7:35pm

awh right.. the house looks grand from the pics and all but not having broadband is a pity since it's a necessity for me.. might give her a call..

paulc216 · 01-09-2012 7:45pm

yea ino i was thinkin the same, its a bit of a disadvantage isnt it, if ur talkin 2 her see wat she says about the internet situation.

eyssy12 · 04-09-2012 9:14pm

hey paul, i gave her a ring just now and she said theres some girls goin up to look at the house tomoro 5th sept, she will call me back to tell me whats the story with them, as long as there are two beds left me and the other boy are probably going to end up at that house... i asked her about the internet and she said that if the tenants want the internet thats grand but youll have to pay it yourselves..

Not so bad, just me so far i think nt sure if she has gt any1 else so far.

eyssy12 · 06-09-2012 8:22pm

both of us paid the deposit 2day so its all grand..

event · 10-09-2012 4:40am

guys, if you're looking to get broadband, you can try Digiweb.
they give it wireless, so you dont need to install a phone line.
they will need to mount an aerial on the roof and perhaps drill a hole to get the cable in so you should check that with the landlord.

http://www.digiweb.ie/backtoschool/
based in Dundalk as well (up beside Heinz factory)

30Mb for 30e (first 3 months) and then 45e a month after that
one thing I will say though, they have a traffic limit of 100g and it is strictly monitored. if you go over, you arent charged but slowed down to 128k. If ye wish, you can then choose to purchase extra traffic to sort ye out

eyssy12 · 17-09-2012 1:39pm

do you have that deal aswell? do they have a connection charge? Might consider this, seems a good enough plan.

Aaron93 · 14-11-2012 4:23pm

Im starting a course in DKIT in January and i have been searching online for 1 bedroom apartments near the I.T without an luck.
there is very little info on the on campus accommodation.
All I need is a 1 bedroom apartment with an en-suite an wifi?
anybody know of anything around? I have a car so if its a little away from the I.T it doesnt matter.
Thanks

MissD93 · 16-06-2013 2:00pm

Jaysus it's tough trying to find accommodation as a new first year. They released a list but all of the places I've called are gone already. Don't think I'd even find an ensuite at this stage. Devastated

Obviously the cheaper the better myself but I pay 375 monthly where I am at the moment. If I was paying around 75-85 a week that's probably what I'd expect. Best of luck in finding something, if nothing comes up keep me in mind because I'll be up there the weekend coming.

Myself and 3 of my mates are having an awful time trying to find decent house. Looks like the campus apartments are our only option and they're a complete rip off for what they are.
