    Hi all just for new first year students be wary off how much your being charged for rent. depending on where your living rent can range from 60 - 100 euro a week, there is a lot off land lords bringing there prices down however my landlord has up her price by a fiver per room to 90 a week and wants 7 a week for bills off each occupant. our house is big so there is 9 rooms i got a house yesterday facing my house for 75 a week including bills, just be shrewd and compare the prices off other houses or apartments in the area.

    75 inc Internet, waste, Sky is what I'm paying. We have to cover electricity and heating oil ourselves.

    Not too bad.

    Yeah thats not too bad alrite, however electricity bills in our house were crazy last year, luckily we didnt have to pay them. Oil is a bit head wrecking generally its fairly difficult to get everyone to stump in too get the tank filled. Its a renters market tho a lot of landlords are doing good deals to try get people in

    I hate it when one person wont go in for oil, then everybody has to go without!
    Fucking headwrecking!

    HAHA its generally a very cold winter for college students, the age old question, oil for the winter or a bottle of Jameson to keep you warm? there is only one winner in most houses
