  • Homestays
  • Private apartments near your university

My Advice

Housing is typically the most expensive part of living in Dublin, so a private one-bedroom flat can strain a student budget. Sharing a flat is often considerably easier to manage, and it is worth comparing the shared and student housing options before you commit.
