    Hello Aoife!

    That sounds amazing but unfortunately I have already paid the deposit on a room in centrepoint which I won't get back if I pull out :( thank you for the kind offer though! :)

    Sincerely
    Emer :)

    If the deposit isn't too high (less than €200) drop it and find somewhere better. Centerpoint is miles from anywhere and although nice, doesnt make up for being so far from the college and town. Cost of taxis etc...

    Because it's overpriced prepaid student accommodation it'll be cheaper to rent somewhere with friends or randomers from Boards!

    The deposit was €300 :( so unfortunately i can't really afford to pull out. Thank you for the advice anyway though :)

    I'm staying there, I booked my deposit yesterday. I know absolutely nobody there, but the lady at reception said there are 57 other first years here too, so it might not be too bad. :D

    I wanted to do arts there but didn't get enough. What, you can choose to do a 4th year? I thought the course was 4 years.
