Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
I would choose Gateway Rentals, not Yeats Village. Same price but better facilities, better management, better location.

Personal comments
Price ca. 80 Euro / week in all on campus accomodations. Paying in advance + large deposits. Housing itself is acceptable, but Irish Flatmates use to abuse the houses. They are (unfortunately mostly!) extremly messy and dirty. But there is internet and you dont have to care about anything like waste.
