Why is it so hard to get a place!!!

jozi

Been looking for a room close to college (DIT bolton street) this last month but have had no luck so far.
I've looked at a few places but got none???
What sort of criteria do people look for, do you need to know someone to get in somewhere or something???
I really have to move cause where i am now is costing to much (busses) and is a little far out from college, not to mention traffic on the way into town most mornigs
Anyway this is a bit of a rant and me looking for some advice.

You're a little light on details there Jozi,

What are you looking for:
house sharing / room sharing / apartment sharing / own apartment

What's your monthly budget etc

jozi

Hmm yes, hadnt taught of that at the time :cool:
Anything where i have my own room, not to small so decent size, walking distance to dit bolton street (bike ok to but nneds shed then) budget of 400 or less per month.

For that kind of cash i would have thought you would find something (though you probably won't get a huge bedroom). I presume you have checked www.daft.ie?

Daft and the herald, daily nearlly.

I've looked at about 4 places that all seemed good location wise but never got a call that i got it.
Should i just ring them after a few days to find out or what?

I would ring them after a week if you don't get a reply. Don't bother with any of those agencies that promise to find you a place by the way.

I'll give them a ring tomorrow see whats happening.
Meanwhile the search continues.....
