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

hi did you find anywhere yet?

22 year old 3rd year student, looking for anywhere up to around €500 a month (but ideally less!) out the back entrance of UCD type area, needs to be within walking distance or on bus route to Dundrum shopping centre too.
Be nice to share with people around my age, but I'm open to younger as long as they'd be understanding of my need to actually study!
If anyone has a spare room going or wants to team up or whatever gimme a shout

As I was saying. Why in gods name would anyone do that? It's a kip.

To be fair it isn't a kip by a long shot. I have a mate staying there and it's nearly identical to Merville or Roebuck on the main campus.

Unless you're studying in Smurfit it's a good bit out of the way to be fair so as you say no one would actually want to swap but it's not a kip, definately better than Belgrove.

No way is blackrock like Roebuck. Definitely not. Don't see any similarity to Merville either. Blackrock is an auld nuns place or something. Looks and smells like a hospital

i live on campus but i have to tell you that blackrock is definitely better for what you just described. huge common rooms and kitchens where everybody goes to if they want to have a party while your room is far away from it so you can study/sleep without the noise. its definetely worth living 10 minutes away from campus

Hi Im not applying to UCD till 2013/2014 but I was wondering for accommodation on campus are the rooms unisex or is it just like four girls to a room and 4 guys to a room or what?

beardedmaster

The rooms are all (with very few exceptions), one-person to a room, so you have a room to yourself.
There are between 3-12 rooms in an apartment, depending on where you live.
You also either have an ensuite toilet or two between 3-4 people.
As for the apartments, when you're booking online, you can say if you want a unisex apartment, or mixed apartment, or either will do.
Any of the mixed ones I've seen/been in are 3 boys-3 girls.

catch.23

Most mixed sex ones are evenly split (2-2 or 3-3) but I know of a few in roebuck with 5-1.

Ok just once im not the only girl lol, That all sounds ok. So if me and my friend applied to the same building could we live together in the same apartment?

In August after the CAO offers come out you will be booking your rooms. There will be a long list of the available accommodation with some information about who had already booked there (male/female, undergrad/postgrad). If you want to live with your friend then you will have to arrange to book a room in the same appartment and house. Once you are there to book it as soon as booking opens it should be easy enough, just have your friend on the phone at the same time so that ye can pick what house and appartment to book!

Hi can anyone tell me about off campus accomodation what are my options? Im hoping to go to UCD this September 2013 and I dont think I would be able to afford to live on campus Any help would be great.

Basically my girlfriend is a bit of a techno-tard so I'm doing this on her behalf:

She's a second year medical student at UCD who's repeating the coming semester. She has no where to live as she worked for the last semester she didnt have to repeat and lived with family then.

She needs a place somewhere within walking distance of the college (her parents demand not her own) for the coming semester. That said, if it was very close to a reliable bus route that should be fine too. Pretty much anywhere will do as long as its resonable rent with the basics.

She has alot of study and hard work etc to do to pass the semester the second time round so she'll be pretty quiet and will spend the majority or her time in college, but she's up for the craic to so she wont be a total recluse.

So basically if anyone has a place, wants to sub-let their place, or knows anyone who's looking for a tenant please either comment here or send me a PM. My GF's getting pretty desperate so any help would be greatly appriciated

cheers

Anyone know when and how to apply for on campus accommodation for CAO students ?
