    Ranelagh is by far the best. Near everything & Luas to city centre. Great places to eat. On the negative side, rents on the high side, but savings on taxi fares.

    Find somewhere between the Stillorgan Road (lots of busses) and Terneure Road (lots of busses). Balance the cost of travel (daytime and taxis) against the cost of rent.

    Wherever you go, make sure you are on either the DART or LUAS lines. The students tend to go for Ranelagh or Rathmines.

    I live there myself, some knacker wannabe's around though, Clonskeagh (not too populated) or Stillorgan. Again, a few knacks in Rathmines. I doubt there is much places for student renting in Clonskeagh though. Try Stillorgan (Although there is a LUAS, it'll probably be atleast a 10 min walk), or Donnybrook.

    Good luck with the moving man,
    Jonny.

    Leopardstown is LUAS and Stillorgan bus route adjacent.
    Always note a higher rent may save you in travel.
