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.

I have been living here for three years now and this has to be the best student accommodation in the city! The staff, Zoie, Chris and Melisa are all lovely and make it even more special. Will recommend it anyday to anyone.
One of the best accommodations in Dublin. The staff is very friendly and always happy to help. Prices are as high as in other accommodations but the quality is better. Great gym, social space and rooftops.
Had an excellent time! A great deal of food options, from cafes to pubs, chain groceries to family-run grocers, all right around the building.
It’s a phenomenal location, with a Lidl and bus stop right across the street. You can also easily walk to town & Aungier St, as well as Heuston, St James Hospital, and Phoenix Park. There’s also an airport bus & many other connections for Ussher’s Quay, just 1 block towards the river. If you don’t mind the price, it’s well worth it.
Good place to live, there are activities to do every month and staff is really friendly and helpful.
A good location and pleasant social spaces.
The staff here is really welcoming and nice, the infrastructures are good and it's clean.
Definitely love living here- only bad experiences are from other students not staff
It was fine until the fire alarm went off at night but that’s not the staff’s fault. I trust that they won’t let it happen again. The social space could use more games like Uno and Blokus.
