    I know their may be a lot of threads on student accommodation in waterford but the few i have read through just confused me more:mad:

    I'm nearly certain of attending WIT next september so i want to sort out accom early.Ideally i want accom close to town so i won't have to go to far when going out but not too far from the college either.

    Not essential but would like internet access:)

    Thanks in advance.

    there are no other accomodations then, riverwalk (+ not owned by college, no bus + long walk) is worse, and college fields is on campus, railway square is pretty good tho but again not affiliated with the college, u gotta arrange it yourself, i would take railway square over all of them, except you need to pay for your own bus (its a long walk, no college bus service unlike manor)

    why do you want to go to WIT? theres better colleges out there too.

    im guessing its engineering, if its mechanical dont do it in waterford, its a level 8 course, but its not recognised as a proper level 8 course like the CIT/DIT one by engineers ireland (i didnt know this when i applied lol :/ so i got screwed)

    Manor Village is not the worst, it can loud on Wednesdays but sure that's student night loike.
    It's close to town and college and has internet.
    Just don't get on the bad side of the bitchy receptionist.
    She will have revenge.

    With respect, we have multiple threads on this and the views wont change much. So if you don't have a specific question that isn't answered elsewhere, it would be best you read over the other topics which have everything covered.

    Sorry to be a pain in the backside, but it gets on peoples nerves repeating the same answers over-and-over! :)

    No no no no no .. manor village is alright for first years so they get a chance to suss out the place but really the best place is Aylesbury Manor .. Security are sound, no inspections it's only 75 a week that includes internet, tv and bins .. only thing ya have t pay is the electricity .........


    Obviously the best option would be to get a house with some friends but wait till 2nd year when your wise to the area before you go off getting a house

    Thanks, but there have been other replies from additional people also. I'm a student in WIT, living in Waterford, so I would know most of the Student Accommodation through friends. It hasn't changed. You don't need to take my word for it, other people gave their views also.

    Its the repetitive topics (and people complaining I don't close them!) asking about accommodation that is why ill be closing this, as its nothing specific. Read over the others and ignore my posts to get an insight into it.

    Something specific? Ask away in an existing topic.
