    What happens if I book accommodation for UCC , go up in the rechecks and move to college in Dublin?
    Will I have to pay 5000 for the accommodation in Cork?
    Anybody here been in the same position ?

    Hi Sheeba7

    You will most likely lose your deposit on the room. As for the remaining rent, if you have not signed a contract you do not have to pay any rent to them. With regards losing rent, it is possible that you may lose the equivalent of one months rent.

    If you want to talk to us about this further you can send me a PM and we can discuss it.

    All the best

    Hi, I have a deluxe room to rent out in Victoria Mills Student Accommodation which is just less than a ten minute walk from UCC. I dropped out of my course so I won't be staying there anymore. The room is a deluxe room which is about three times the size of a normal room with an ensuite bathroom. I will be renting the room out for less than the price I paid for it so please pm me for price details if you are interested or know anyone who would be. Please spread the word thanks :)

    Hey. I'm hoping to move out in about 5 or 6 weeks, does anyone know of anywhere that will have a free room around then? Thanks.


  • Registered Users Posts: 97 ✭✭chaoskitten_DF


    Does anyone know if Victoria Station still has issues with dampness? I heard a few years ago there was a lot of problems but has it improved?


  • Registered Users Posts: 1 Shonagh94


    Hi guys,
    I'm just wondering if anyone could suggest accommodation that's about halfway betweem the music school and the main campus/pharmacy building? Myself and the boyo will both be in UCC next year and we're hoping to get somewhere that'll suit us both. Student accommodation would be preferable, we don't want to live together just yet, 'cause we'd kill each other..
    Thanks!

    Hey, I'm looking for a house or an apartment for next year, has to be cheap enough.. The overall number of occupants doesn't matter too much.

    I'll be in my final year at UCC next year and I'm searching for apartments. I've always liked the look of The Spires, but I don't know of anyone who has lived there. I went there today and viewed an apartment, it seemed nice enough.
    Has anyone lived there? Any general information on the place? Noise levels, problems with the apartments or staff? Anything? Also, I would really appreciate it if anyone could tell me what the internet is like? I've had experiences with awful internet connections in student complexes.

    Hey, just wondering has anybody stayed in Dean's hall in crosses green? Looking into accommadation for next year. Quite expensive at nearly 110 a week :eek: is it worth it? Many people living there going to UCC? Or is it the students from surronding colleges that are attracted to it?


  • Registered Users Posts: 30 psychoniamh


    Hey!

    I lived there last year, and really enjoyed it :D I found that the staff were really good, as well as the security. They have an on-site caretaker during the day so if ever anything breaks, he'll just hop up and sort it out. At night, there is a security man who strolls the premises. They can be strict with overnight guest sometimes, but mostly just during Freshers week and R&G week, otherwise you're grand. It is a class location for nights out, never have to pay for taxis! I was living in a three bed apt and found the sitting room and bedrooms to be quite spacious. It was popular for those on Erasmus and I think there were a good few people in other city colleges, but mostly UCC. I would recommend, though the price can be quite off-putting, but if it's not too much of a stretch in funds, go for it :D

  • Registered Users Posts: 1,306 ✭✭✭BobbyPropane


    Going into first year in September and looking for accom and Vic Station has caught me eye (cheap with good promises) however searching this website it sounds like hell with problems with dampness and the like. How is it really or has it changed?

    I was there myself and thought 'twas a lovely spot! Depends on your housemates - 8 is a lot in a house, but it's nice there always being someone around :) it's not luxurious, but it's certainly more than adequate, and I'd say cheaper than some of the other locations. You're only a few minutes walk to college as well, which is handy. I'd recommend it anyway!

    Nah gym isnt free, although when I was there they ran promotions where it was free from 7.30 -9 on a Sunday and Wednesday or something. You're only 5 mins from the mardyke anyway!
