nevisgod

kaimera

hmmm..odd coincidence but we've got a free room in our place next year.

I'm sure the guys will post after to see if yer suitable material

Peteee

Yeah, we apparently have a room to spare.

I wouldnt recommend this house if you are in any way scared of computers however

Yeah as kaimera said we've got a room available in our house next year. PM one of us with an email address if you're interested. You should be prepared for lots of drinking, poker games and loud music.

Cheers

nice to see yer awake rory

a PM will be grand if yer interested. Rent is cheap enough and close to campus aswell.

If you want to get on campus you can wait like a week after the CAO comes out and ring up the 4 villege offices to find out about vacancies, you usually get lucky and land something. Closer to the start of the year erasmus(sp?) students are always dropping out so you could try ringing then, a lot of them are over in thomond if you want to use that tactic.

Otherwise, Brookfield and Groody should have numbers listed on the UL webby.

There is a new place up by the parkway but its might as well be on the moon.

UL accomodation also have a handy booklet listing all the numbers of houses for rent around UL, ring them up and ask for a copy of it. Stay away from Elm Park and College Court knackers were relocated there last semester.

Good luck.

brookfield is a bit too far away tbh.

We were there last semester > distance would do yer head in trying to go for a drink.

Ya them cards are terrible. Its a LUMP sum now though isnt it? Pay at the start and all that. If you have a car stay there but otherwise its annoying to get in and out. Goin back in Sept though, 3 yrs running now.

Those cards were a pain in the arse alright. I remember getting up to hit the meter a few times to get the poxy thing to stop beeping. It never did though and I gave it a good thump a few times.

Lived there for a semester, the card thing broke and we didn't have to buy a card for 2 months. Nice.

Dunno about Elm Park, but I've been living in College Court for a year and haven't seen/heard a single wah or skobe.

Advice to OP: There is rakes of housing available around castletroy, its a buyers market but if you want somewhere nice start looking fast. College court and Milford Grange are close to college and have a good few decent houses. Elm Park has a reputation for shoddy houses/heating etc. Groody and Brookfield villages have broadband but they're a bit of a walk, plus I used to stay in groody and didn't like the place. They're running a free shuttle bus from Brookfield starting this year AFAIK.

Incidentally, I'm going back to UL for a masters in music technology and I'm looking for accommodation too. Anyone interested in sharing gimme a PM I'm into poker but not a lot of excessive drinking/loudness

Ya the first year i was there the meter broke and we got free electricity for the whole year. Was a smack in the mouth when i had to pay last semester though.

hey,
im hopefully starting ul in september.a few of ye like poker just wondering if there are any poker soc or clubs dat hold games.

thanks

Dave

There should be a poker soc starting next semester afaik. As for poker in Limerick, there's no cardrooms but there would be some regular pub games. Standard wouldn't be great though in student games or the pub games.

Brendygg

sound for the info.
