    Pretty good i'd say last i heard there was some places available in Thomond, Plassey and Cappavilla but i'd fully expect more places to open up in the coming days. I'd provisionally look at somewhere like Brookfield as a last resort just incase.

    Neither, go to Groody or Courtyard. Same location, similar price, more suitable for a first year

    Thomond is one of the quieter villages, however with that said it all depends on the housemates you get. I knew some crazy houses in thomond last year. All the villages are like, just some villages have more crazier houses than others :D

    Thomond is like grand. Quiet enough though. Village manager is a pain in the ass though and security seem to be way stricter than cappa. (from my experience of living in thomond last two years anyway)

    Well I had friends in Troy and it seemed like there was little or no first years in there. There was also fines for repeated noise making etc. Brookfield is a little further out and generally a little boring from the reports i've heard.

    Groody and Courtyard should have a decent amount of first years each and they may be a little more receptive to the party animal student.

    All the places mentioned have a similar level of comfort

    1st year here.. im staying in brookfield hall. seems nice enough and not too pricey. location is a bit outta the way but a shuttle bus every 15 mins to campus should be fine..

    whats the atmosphere like in brookfield hall? good decision to stay there?
