All the Answers You Need About Student Accommodation

What tenancy length do I need?

Some students choose to stay during the academic year, whilst others – particularly international students – require a tenancy that covers the entire year. You can also find student accommodation that is available for one or two terms, classified as a “short stay” on our search filters.

Should I stay in catered student accommodation?

This is totally up to you! Catered accommodation means you will be served meals at set times in a dining hall, and you’ll likely have access to fewer kitchen facilities than if you were to stay in self-catered accommodation.

What is a guarantor and do I need one?

A guarantor is a person who signs a contract to agree to pay your rent if you are unable to. Most university accommodation requires a guarantor, and this applies to both domestic and international students.

Will I need to pay a deposit on student accommodation?

Most likely, yes, you’ll need to pay a deposit. This will be refunded at the end of your stay as long as there is no damage to the room or property.

What bills will my rent include?

If you are staying in university-run accommodation or private halls, your rent should include any utilities such as electricity, gas, water, and internet. Students are not required to pay council tax, however you may need to fill in an exemption form so make sure you check with your local council.

What is purpose-built student accommodation?

Purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) are residential buildings designed for students. They are often located close to campus, boast modern facilities, include all bills, and often have staff on site to assist residents.

Will my student accommodation be furnished?

Student accommodation is typically fully furnished. Your room should include at least a bed, clothes storage, desk and chair. You’ll likely need to bring things such as bedding and kitchen utensils, but we have a full list here of everything you’ll need.

Highfield house is a lovely modern accomodation with plenty of social areas and a good balance between study and fun. There are weekly events planned out for students to ensure they make new friends and take well needed breaks from college . 10/10 would recommend :)

It is a nice student accommodation. If you study in UCD is not the best choice, but if you don't mind taking the bus it is a nice palese palese stay.

I have loved my year here at Highfield house as an Erasmus student. The room is very well laid out, and the common areas as well. The cleanliness either in the cinema room, the gym or in the resident lounge has been spot on. Moreover, the people working at Highfield House, whether it is Stephanie, Josipa, Martin or the RAs, are all adorable and always attentive to the residents' problems. I strongly advise you if you are looking for a student residence in Dublin to go to this one. You won't regret it!

The location is perfect, situated close enough to the city center to be on the main streets in 10 minutes, while being far out enough that there is not too much noise during the day or night. It is the perfect spot for completing my final year of studies! All of the staff are very friendly and helpful too, which is a great bonus. There are always lots of great events happening to take part in, giving everyone a chance to meet and make friends. The wifi works brilliantly, making it so much easier to attend my online classes and meetings. I would definitely recommend Highfield House!

Not only was construction delayed, but it is still unfinished nearly 3 months after move-in. The management has been incredibly unhelpful, and have explained away COVID-19 violations. They have also been unhelpful in working with schedule changes due to the pandemic and other extraordinary circumstances which result in needing to alter lease agreements, which aren't even lease agreements and were describe as flexible when we signed up for them. There have also been myriad technical issues, from no hot water to a non-working hob, uncovered duct work, and uncontrollable/no/too much heating (to name a few).

It can be a little loud at night from a group of people smoking and I've watched the night porter walk straight past them at like 3am and not tell them to be a little more quiet or even ask them to check if they,re in the same household

The apartment is very modern and always kept extremely clean. It is a perfect location if you’re in the TU Grangegorman campus and is within walking distance of many grocery shops. My specific apartment is quite quiet but overall it is a great place to live and I highly recommend.
