Important details
Accommodation
Accommodation in Ireland is an important part of student life, and there are several options to choose from depending on your budget and preferences:
Types of Student Accommodation
1. On-campus accommodation: Located within or near the university, convenient and social (easy to meet other students), usually limited, so you must apply early. Costs: about €5,000 – €9,000 per year
2. Private student residences: Modern buildings with student facilities (gym, study rooms, security), more expensive but comfortable. Costs: around €700 – €1,200 per month
3. Shared apartments/houses: Most common option among students, rent a room and share kitchen/living space, more independence and often cheaper than private residences. Costs: €400 – €900 per month (can be higher in cities like Dublin).
4. Homestay (living with a family): Stay with an Irish host family, meals often included, good for improving English and adjusting to the culture. Costs: about €600 – €1,000 per month
Key Tips

Start searching early (especially for Dublin—housing is limited)
-
Always check contracts carefully before paying deposits
-
Consider location vs cost (city centre = more expensive)
-
Use trusted platforms or university housing offices
General Advice
Ireland currently has a housing shortage, so competition is high. Many students begin with temporary accommodation (e.g. hostel or Airbnb) and then find long-term housing after arrival.
