If you have a property in Carlow, Wexford, or Waterford that you’re interested in letting out, the new regional third-level facility wants to hear from you.
South East Technological University’s new student pad website is a platform to link up those with housing offerings and students – as part of their drive they’re to hold information evenings in each of the counties, including at the Carlow campus this Thursday from 4-6 pm.
Jacqui O’Connor is head of accommodation with SETU and says the website is beneficial all round, and not just in monetary terms for those with spaces to spare:
“For a homeowner as well, if they’re living on their own, it’s a bit of company too,” said Jacqui.
“The students will be going to lectures and doing their own thing too, but it’s that bit of company there, it is a nice element”.
“It’s a win-win for homeowners and for our students because we are getting bed spaces for our students that are quite limited at the moment”.
