Same, always wanted to be a teacher, I didn't get it last year so hopefully this repeat year will be worth it! As far as I know, like from last year, Marino have a waiting list that you can put your name down on for accommodation around easter, or just before. I did that last year, and its good to have your name down just to have one less thing to worry about coming up the the exams. I went on their website (Marino), and the application form is only for this year (12/13), so maybe in a few weeks or so they'll start up next year's waiting list. With Pats, they only sort their accommodation after the results com out in august. No problem!

I'm the same , apply to both and hope for the best! Pats isn't the best looking , and I fell in love with Marino accomodation!
I really hope so! Always wanted to be a teacher , I'd be heartbroken if I didn't get it
, Yeah I will probably end up looking into renting if I don't get both. Do you know when Marino start taking applications?
Thanks so much! so glad I found people!

Well lads! Great to see more future Pats heads on here
HelloMy first choice is Primary Teaching in Saint Pats, then in Marino, Maynooth and Mary I. I really want to go to Pats, I went to the open day and it looked so nice and welcoming!
@EoinMeath95 and @BrownBear11 I hope I'll be seeing you next year! (: I'm going for campus too @BrownBear11, in reply to your previous post!
Campus looks good to me from what I saw at the open days Bit basic but that doesn't bother me in the least tbh. I just hope I get it when I apply is all. Be really disappointed if I missed it but sure that's a problem for future me to deal with

Sorry for the intrusion

Hey
Yeah, we're a small bunch it seems but sure what harm, less competition for places that way I suppose. I'm a bit out from Dublin, 'bout an hour 45 minutes drive north of it I'm fully set on campus at this stage (Ya probably gathered that ) although I agree with you; Marino is lovely. Not just their campus either the whole spot is really nice and to tell the truth, although I really like Pats, I would gladly go to Marino at the same time. And you're definitely not intruding now, good to chat to people in the same position as me
See yous in September:D 0 -

Yeah I feel the same way! Pats is my first choice because I know a lot of people that went there and it seems to have a pretty good reputation, but at the same time Marino seems to have that too and really nice accommodation! Hope to see you in September too! (:
Yayy! Lads it is actually such a relief! Yeah 2hrs a day doesn't suit me either , Good luck with yer exams and see you all in September (positive thinking)

Would love that. :P Ah cool. I plan on doing French (do it in school) and Spanish (at beginners), and maybe the marketing module too, but I'm not sure of that. I didn't know you got to apply for one of the either. :pac: I don't have a clue which I'll pick, may go for the same-sex accommodation so I can stay away from the bad side of women :cool: Haha, ah I'm not sure, don't really mind! :P 0 -

first choice is Business in UL reading up above there i heard people say accommodation booking is open next week? Would most people do it soonish or would it be stupid to leave it for another while?
I suppose if you're fully sure that if you got UL that you'd stay on-campus, it'd make more sense to book it as early as possible. But if you're not too sure or whatever, it might be more sensible to wait. I'm waiting as I don't know if I'll be able to afford it, I need to see if I can get a job first! :eek:0 -
Yup yup especially if you want Kilmurry or Plassey, they're generally a good bit cheaper and more first year orientated and book out quicker than the more luxurious Dromroe and Cappa!:)first choice is Business in UL reading up above there i heard people say accommodation booking is open next week?

In some cases you wont know if you got the grant till just before you accept your place or in bad situations, not till a bit into the course! Don't settle with Dublin if your heart is in Limerick! It'll work out!I am relying on getting a student grant from SUSI in order to go to UL next year, should I just go ahead and pay the deposit? If I don't get the grant and have to stay in Dublin, will I not then lose the €250? 0 -

Haha, I don't know what I'm at yet...
Honestly don't think I'll find myself on-campus, sadly..
I'll be still be in student accommodation but just off-campus, so it wouldn't be the end all but I desperately want on-campus so I can meet a load of new first years!
If only the grant was a larger sum! €3000 for the whole year which is supposed to cover accommodation/living expenses/etc ? Joke. :mad:
But still, if you end up going to UL (and I end up going there) I'll surely see you around 0 -
3000? Omg I thought it was 5000?Haha, I don't know what I'm at yet... Honestly don't think I'll find myself on-campus, sadly..
