  Accommodation at University College Cork, Ireland

On-campus accommodation

UCC Campus accommodation is more than just a place to eat and sleep---it provides social, cultural and sporting shops and the chance to develop friendships that will last a lifetime. Our accommodation services are divided into our two areas of operation, one being the safe, modern accommodation for those studying during the academic year. The other one is the excellent summer accommodation for holiday or summer course visitors who are seeking what is a very special environment to stay in with every modern convenience but dipped in history and the atmosphere of one of Europe's oldest and most highly regarded universities.

Rental Housing

This is where the student lives with a family and 1~5 other students and you get your breakfast, evening meal and light supper. Rates are available for both single and shared rooms, five days or seven-day board. Prices are set and no landlady can charge over this agreed rate. This is a very economical and safe accommodation option and particularly well suited to freshmen. Lists of landladies are available free from the Accommodation Office by post, fax and email.

Shared Student Housing

Available rooms are advertised in the Accommodation Office throughout the year. Updated lists of them are provided daily. Lifetime friendship is easily developed here. 

Living with a Landlord

Usually this provides more mature students with a high standard of accommodation at reasonable rents, usually a little below the market price. Vacancies are advertised in the Accommodation Office throughout the year.
