Oh bad luck! I know Rye is a kip, seriously. Village and River are a lot better, with River being the nicest of them all. I'm hoping for River, the houses are nice and each room is en-suite with 5 people to a house. If you get the entrance scholarship you get to pick which type of accommodation you want, so when you get it, PICK RIVER!

No, if you get over 500 you get 1000e and you're guaranteed your Accommodation on campus (it's still full price however)

OHhhhh. I think I'd still prefer UCD :P

Menlo's just beyond the headford road roundabout, about a few minutes walk away from gort na coiribe etc. It's actually quite nice from what I've viewed (ie. the living room is nice and big, haha). it is a little bit out, but sure at least my legs will look good by the end of the year!
really, no reply in that long? I applied about three weeks ago and received confirmation and the contracts to sign the day before yesterday. S: I dunno what you should do, I mean, some people just wait until August before applying but if you get really worried, I suppose you could give 'em a call/e-mail? y'know, to put your mind at rest (: Best of luck with it.

Was going to but the odds of me going to NUIM are very small since I need to do very badly in my LC (370ish points) to end up there. So I decided to save up the 30 odd euro I'd spend on travel and food and do something productive instead (nothing) :pac:

Wouldn't reading it beforehand make it much more interesting?
I've only read a handful of novels in my time but that always seems to be the case.

I'm going on Saturday, I think. How far is it from the train station to NUIM?

I don't actually watch OR read Game of Thrones, but it's always better to read the books first!

Less than 10 minutes, 6/7 at the most! You just cross the bridge, walk by the Shopping Centre and keep walking straight!

I dunno, like there's a massive omg moment at the end of the first season of GoT and I feel like that would have been ruined if I read the book first...might be as shocking in the book though.
