Starting college in rural Ireland, How do I......

treborflynn

I'm interviewing for a course in a college that's located in a village in county Donegal, no big deal there, the problem i have is that any accommodation i can find is either a 3 bed house or a holiday home, how do i go about finding a place to share? keeping in mind there was only 6 people on this course last year and i havent met any of them.

This might seem like a stupid thing to most people but I have never done anything like this before so i have no idea what im at.. M 22.

What village in Donegal is it? I live there so I could try help.. I'm guessing you're looking for a room in a house share? You might need to go somewhere like Letterkenny to find that, and then travel to college, but whether something like that is an option depends on where the college is. You could also try contacting the college and asking them what their students usually do? That's probably your best bet

All depends on what part of Donegal you are looking at living in, and if there are only a handful of people doing the course yous could all be in the same boat.

Don't sign long term lease if you end up getting a room and then when the course starts you can chat to those on the course and see if they have either a spare room/bed or are looking for a new place.

+ on contacting the college. They might know a popular area that students rent.
