No college in Carlow has an Accommodations Officer....in fact most colleges in Ireland don't bar Trinity etc, its more an American thing.

It's actually quite the opposite, most of the colleges have at least an accommodation officer, some even have a department (in the larger colleges of course!!)

Anyone out there still looking for accommodation? I've been looking for a few weeks and all the landlords will only rent the whole house.

Did you ring the college??

The link to the list is: http://accommodation.itcarlow.ie/list.php

The majority of accommodation is rooms in houses, the letting agents are clearly marked

If you've accomodation to rent, contact the College.
Ideally, the accomodations officer.

If any people are stuck, ask in places that rent out houses to "normal" people. In large student towns like Carlow, they often have student houses to let, or just houses in general that they'll fill with students..

Had a lady called Maura Fenlon as my landlady. Sound enough.

All else fails, check daft.ie - there's usually a few houses on it looking for students.

Stay away from anything owned by John Joe Waddock, i was in a 7 person house and he kept all 7 peoples €400 deposits and claimed we owed him more due to damage.... the biggest damage done to that house was when the dial broke off the microwave... As far as i know one of the girls in the house is taking action, but me being a poor student cant afford to do anything

I know it's a bit early yet but while I'm on here, I would strongly suggest not renting from Boyd/Ken Lennard. I rented a room in 10 Clarencegate from them, Boyd's the owner but lives in a different county so his dad Ken collects rent, the apartment is nice and big but it wasn't worth it with the hassle I had.
I first lived with a girl who they viewed as a trouble maker (well she did have a raging session until 5am on the first weekend and the whole building complained) and blamed her for breaking the microwave a week after we moved in even though it never worked and then the cooker broke and they blamed her too, she was only 17 so I think they thought she was an easy target but anyways she moved out in October so I was living alone for over a month.
By law, a landlord has to give 24hrs notice before coming to the property however, Ken would just show up with people to view the apartment, at 7 or 8pm, and expected me to show them around.
When I was leaving they took €90 from my deposit for a window which they said I "broke" but they were poorly fitted double glazed windows which cracked due to the cold weather, they then text me when I left to say they would send me €50 in the post because I had been a good tenant and I haven't heard from them since.

They are just a few incidents but there were many more.
So if you or if you know anyone looking to rent from them I would think twice about it.
Granby Row, College Green, Carraig Abhainn for first years or Rathdown all grand places!
