Can anyone in Merville tell me if there are clothes hangers or saucepans provided?

They aren't provided in any of the accommodation as far as I'm aware.

I have just checked in and there are no clothes hangers or saucepans.

What sort of stuff is there? Is there a microwave, oven, hob? Kettle/toaster? Anything in particular you noticed missing?! Thanks!

I am in one of the newly refurbished ones. There is a kettle, hob, toaster, fridge, microwave, a dishwasher and super fast internet. No stove though, so no box pizza or fish from Tesco; unless you buy one of those mini stoves which I think I will be doing.
No kitchenware such as saucepans, knifes, forks nothing like that. The kitchen only contains what I mentioned above.

You'll see plenty of fliers for pizzas anyway and there's a dominos in booterstown, a nice walk but not too far. You can get it delivered anyway or sent to the gate at Merville after ten oclock - if your living within Merville/Glenomena.

Hi, I'm having a bit of trouble finding a place and being a non dublin native, find it hard to figure out whether places I see on Daft.ie are near UCD or not. I know the usuals, Ranelagh, Rathmines and Clonskeagh, but can anyone name other places that are either in walking distance of UCD or on the bus route? Thanks!

cornelscourt 145 bus, donnybrook, dun laoghaire 46a bus, bray 145 bus, blackrock 17 bus, blanchardstown 39a bus, city centre 46a 145 39a most buses that end in x go there (peak time only) except 84x but does stop outside

Don't know about walking distances, but go to dublinbus.ie and look at the bus routes for the 145, 46a and the 39a. They are the most frequent buses out there and you can see on the map where they stop.
There is also the 17, but its considered the more unreliable of the routes.

Hey guys,

Posting on behalf of my younger brother here. He's just started his first year in UCD and is currently travelling up and down from Belfast because he didn't get sorted with halls. He's 19 and studying Irish History and Politics (I think!).

Does anyone here have a spare room that he could let? He's 19 and not the partying type. €550 p/m maximum probably.

Any help greatly appreciated!

Hi there! 23 year old student at UCD looking for a place nearby in the 300-600 per month price range. Looking for people within my age group, preferably not first years. I'm a pretty laid back and easy going guy, fairly quiet. Definitely up for nights out and the like but I will need to study alot too as my course is pretty intensive so I'm not looking for a party house! Any questions PM me

Not a Dublin native either, but have relatives in Malahide, would commuting from there to UCD be feasible? (I can't drive but would use public transport)
