    ok, well i know a few people going now. so it looks good.

    so, errr, whats it like? many irish? many american students?

    best places to work? and best places to live? I've heard that rainbow court is full already. and do you end up sharing a room with loads of other people?

    we stayed in a house just down the road from rainbow. Rainbow was 'full' by march last yr as well, but loads of ppl turn up homeless and are in there within a week. There's another place: 'Joe Jans', check them out. There's hundreds of cheap motels and apartments so you'll get somewhere alright.
    I worked as a busser in Planet Hollywood, grand job really, the really good money's in Johnny Rockets, although they've been recruiting here in UCC al yr coz a load of us worked there lst summer.
    I'm ranting now and i'm tryin 2 find a gaff in the OC for myself, so anything else let me know.

    Hey American student here from Alaska. Going to MB on 5/24 looking for 2 roomates for my place at Rainbow Court. Didn't know I needed 4 people and now Im stuck with that huge weekly payment. If there are 2 guys looking for a place let me know. The lady there is super nice and said she would help me out to find someone but I thought I would try here. Might want to say that I am almost 19yrs old if that makes a difference to anyone.
