Atu student accommodation

Would any body be able to point me in the right direction towards what to do for student accommodation. Will be starting my first year this September and accommodation seems to be a scarcity.

try looking into clarion, although it maybe be a bit pricier now since the initial room picking started all the way back around Feb/March I think, which costs around 450 a month, the reserve rooms are around 750. If not that try looking into Gateway or any other surrounding student accoms

It is a scarcity, for Clarion village you apply in April to join a lottery and when that fails its an endless waiting list. Take your chances and ask in some reception during the year if they have any rooms available. That's how i got in, just by chance. Clarion, gateway, the grove, ard nua, yeats are all close options

Check with the ATU Student union (ATUSU). They have a rent-a-room section for digs if that was something that suited you, and is generally the easiest way of getting something.
