Need a quick reply please

Hi

I'm thinking of moving into glenomena for the second semester. I'm a final year so ideally i'm looking for a nice quiet place close to health sciences Anyway from the accommodation menu on sis, there are rooms available in houses 6 7 8 9 and 10. Which one is the best. I really don't want to end up with alot of first years who are constantly partying and noisy. And what way does electricity work in each place. Is it a meter system or do you pay upfront ? Thanks for any reply. I'd really appreciate a quick answer.

It's meter and quite the rip off. Dont know about specific houses.

house 10 is much better heating wise- has radiators, not storage heaters, and it's prepaid.

Thanks for replies guys. I tried ringing up accommodation office to try and find out the years of people staying in some places but they couldn't say. So which building contains mostly final years and postgrads then ? Thanks

The majority are, but there are a few first years in there also.

With the ridiculous prices this year they couldn't find enough final years and postgrads with more money than sense who wanted to live in a gated "no visitors after 11pm honey" complex, so they filled what remained with first years.

...Clearly that plan didn't work out very well

What's it costing to live on campus these days?

It is shocking BS isn't it, that final years and post-grads, most of whom are 23 plus, are made to live as if they are secondary school students in Irish college at unacceptable rates (not even rental rates considering they aren't classed as tenants).

There should be a post-grad area where post-grads are treated as post grads and not like 18 year olds. If only we had some sort of real Student Union instead of a limp-dick communal pissing contest...

there are a lot of first years living in glenomena, so i dont know about it being quiet. think its about 2,600 for semester 2 and you have to pay electricity on top of that,i think?

Is there no other accomadation around UCD for students???? I know there are around 3 or 4 complexes, owned by businesses but aimed towards students, within 10 minute walk from DCU and they all charge between 100-120 per week and that includes electricity etc.
i mean there's so many students in UCD and yet the college doesn't really provide for them lol

Red Alert

I don't quite understand why adults aren't allowed have visitors beyond a specific time... in a normal apartment block you still can't cause a disturbance but you don't have to 'check in' your girlfriend on the way in!

House 9 or 10 would defintely be the way to go. There are first years in glenomena this year because of a cock up in the system in Summer but the majority of people in 9 and 10 are final years and postgrads (mainly postgrads) Its v quiet (I live there) and very warm with electricity paid up front so no bills once you pay the 2,600 in january!

Hope this helps, PM me if you want
