    So I moved into Gort today, had to leave straight away, my housemates have the kitchen destroyed! It's like a comedy scene, half-eaten food everywhere, plates and cutlery thrown about the place etc. The sitting area had been taken over by them and their friends :D Ah living with strangers, can't beat it!

    Hey :) Was at the open day yesterday and it's safe to say i'm set on going to NUIG :) One thing that's bugging me is that i can't decide whether to rent my own place with friends, or stay in Corrib Village? Will i really be missing out on that much if i don't stay there? Each has it's own pro's and con's but i really cant decide.. one of the main con's of Corrib is the strict security and not having friends/people stay in your house. So any advice would be appreciated :D

    If you like your luxuries then don't go to corrib ;) It's too small and looks like a detention center IMO. Besides that it's apparently great for meeting other first years. I'm in gort na coiribe and there's loads of first years here, the same with cuirt na coiribe, both are quite nice to live in, and you can just write down your friends names to live with.

    Hi there,
    I will be an exchange student for 1 semester in NUIG in the coming Spring semester,2013.
    I find almost student residence are fully booked, I want to ask is there a chance to book a twin room now(as I see there will be resold after 7th DEC).
    If not, can you recommend other accommodation that suitable for exchange student?
    I don't want to find the accommodation after I arrive Galway...
    thanks for you help!! ^^

    The student residences are expensive and usually not that nice.

    Keep an eye on daft.ie and see if anything comes up that's suitable. You might find others in the same situation and a group of ye could get a house together for the semester or something.

    In fairness student accommodation would probably be better if he's only going to be here for a semester, as it basically has everything here whereas on daft or privately rented you'd probably need to pay for your own heating, electricity, broadband etc. Plus they're nice enough! As far as I know there are a lot of americans staying in Gort na Coiribe at the moment so a good few spaces will open up for the second semester, so maybe put your name in now!

    Thanks for your answer^^ In fact, Gort na Coiribe gives me a offer of single room yesterday. But it is quite expensive for me. And Menlo told me they may provide a twin room for me so I now try to send an application form to it and wait for their reply. Actually I am a Chinese come from Hong Kong and go to NUIG alone:( It is quite sad to know that finding a residence is so difficult :(

    I'm pretty certain I want to stay there starting September 2013, but I'm just wondering, when would I apply to make sure I got the room I wanted? Like, is there a date when everyone starts applying from? So far I've only been able to find payment due dates.

    Normally applications for Corrib/Gort/Cuirt etc open mid-late January

    I live in Corrib, unreal craic and so handy! I know a few people in Dunaras this year and it seems to be quite a pain, having to get a bus into College etc. As for dates I can't really remember wen I applied, it was very early, January or Februry I think, but there really is no need. I know a girl who applied the day after results and got a place!
