    Just wondering for the on-campus accommodation, can you choose who you stay with?

    You can say you want to stay with someone and most of the time you will ne put together but they dont have to grant the request its purely up to the management team.

    If you know people going to the same village, you can put their names down on the application and the staff will try to put ye together if they can.

    You're probably better off moving in with complete strangers if you're in 1st year.

    I have heard this, but me and a friend are coming up from Clonmel so it would be nice to have a familiar face aswell if you get me? Ideally it would be the two of us and four other strangers, best of both worlds.

    Yeah, I know people that did that in first year, a good way to go. :)

    Just make sure that both of ye put each other down on the application to make sure it happens, and make sure ye both apply for the same village (obvious I know, but no harm in just making it clear :P).

    Hi there, next year I'm doing a work placement in Limerick (I'll be a 4th year student then). The main problem is that I have to stay there from February to July (6 months) and I've seen that your spring semesters end in May (I'm from Barcelona in Spain and our exams end in June/July) and I'm not sure they can provide accomodation for June and July?? I just wonder if the off-campus accomodation is the best for me (on-campus accomodation is really expensive!!!)... I won't take classes, I'll just be in the lab so deciding where to live is important to meet people (especially Irish people)!!

    Thank you!

    Does anyone know what date applications for accommodation in 2013/14 opens yet? I heard it was meant to be today, but I checked and it wasn't (I'll be an incoming first year and I just want to book it as soon as I can).

    I'm an incoming first year, I'm not made of money so was looking at Plassey. It looks good craic, one thing for anyone that lives there, is 8 people a lot to have in one house? Seems a lot compared to the likes of Dromroe, do ye get in each others way much?

    8 isn't really a lot. Sounds like it at first, but 6 in my house get on really really well, the other 2 kind of keep to themselves but it's not like it's awkward or tnse or anything.
    There are 6 and 4 beds in Plassey too, I think.
    (Although it's typically senior students in these)

    8 does sound like a lot but it's fine really. There's 4 upstairs and 4 downstairs and between different timetables and activities etc you're not in each others faces all the time. It's a great way to make friends, too!

    Just to let everyone know, I think the accommodation won't be available to apply for until around the 22nd February now.

    If you are looking for something a little easier on the wallet, off-campus is generally cheaper.

    Prices seem to be the same:

    Also, Autumn Semester places in Dromroe are now gone. I assume this is just the Autumn-Only places, so you might still get a full year place, but if you want Dromroe you'll have to book today/tomorrow I'd say.

    Anyone know the story with Groody? Do you need a whole house worth of people or can you go in yourself? How are they with just one semester?

    I'm a first year undergraduate coming to UL this September to do business. Me and 2 of my friends just booked Dromroe and put each other down to share with.

    I know Dromroe is fairly quiet, but surely something must happen there every now and again?? Do many first years go there?

    And what's the likelihood of me and my 2 friends all getting the same apartment? Because they were saying on the website that they'll basically do their best so that, in other words, means we might not be sharing.

    Thanks :D
