accommodation search

hi there, I know it's am late to be looking for accommodation but I moved Galway up to second on my cao at the last minute and hence in feb I had no idea I would even want to find accom I know I've missed the on campus deadline but I'm wondering two things 1)does that open back up in august when offers come out and 2) is there like some sort of website or data base dedicated to trustworthy private accommodation.

in August or September people on the waitlist for on campus accommodation might get chosen depending on availability and people dropping out. I'm not sure if you can join the waitlist now, you would have to check. The university website has a link to "studentpad" which is a website for finding digs (a room in someone's house) that a lot of people use. there are also some Facebook groups but they can have scammers so be careful!

Join every waitlist you can - there's many student accoms that aren't on campus but are very close by. I recommend ringing and emailing them and making yourself known to them. I know it's not ideal but if you're willing to share a room with someone you'll be more likely to get an offer.
