    Going to Woodlawn end of May with a friend, and it is definetly the place to go :) Used to live a few minutes away from it growing up and tons of pubs and irish students and your half hour from the city on the subway :) and its handy enough to find jobs around there they have a Aisling Irish centre giving all jobs adv and stuff so its usually handy out :) and your not gonna get much cheaper when looking for acc...looking to share anyway...if interested email me michaellapower@yahoo.ie :D x

    Hi Meabh, do you mind me asking how you found places for accom? Did you use craigslist? I spent last summer in Woodlawn with 10 lads and we found it unbelievably hard to find accommodation and eventually only got it through a Gaa team...
