Personal assessment
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? The on campus "Corrib Village" apartments are not very good, not very close, and very strict. I am glad I did not live there.

The are lots of apartments, so it is worth looking around. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
