    I don't go there much except for the shopping centre and for the odd match but it does have a reputation of being a rough enough area but not too much. I'm sure there are plenty of nice areas aswell like most places but it does have a small reputation for being a bit rough. In saying that there are far worse areas in Dublin!

    Depends on what your looking for?
    Do you drive?do you want a house or apartment?how much are you willing to pay,near shops,pubs etc....


    In general the place isnt rough
    Some areas are nice and others less priveliged...like most areas in dublin I suppose

    Well, basically just looking for a single room, up to 260euro a month is the most i could afford. I dont mind whether its near shops or pubs, just near a city center bus route and near enough to the college.

    I know, you will get rough places every where, was just wondering if anyone could name a few out there. :P

    If you go onto itb website and den student services den go to accomodation and d college will email you the list of houses that do accomodation specifically for people in college. That way you could end up with others from college. I started der last year and rented a room in one the houses on their list. It in roselawn in blanch but its 500euro a month.Im sure there are much cheaper ones on it. Just phone them up and ask.:D

    Blanch isn't that rough, Corduff and Huntstown/Hartstown are always frowned apon as the roughed up area but they arnt as bad as you think.

    I live beside corduff which is 2 minutes from the campus and it's not that bad.You'll get the occasional scum but you just stay outa the way and all is well :p
