Housing
You can choose between various student dorms or a local apartment or private home in Cork. The dormitories are the recommended option, and they fill up quickly. You’ll want to research your housing options online and apply as soon as you’re accepted. You can consider an apartment as a backup option. If you choose the private rental market, the university accommodation office can provide a list of options to research online. You may also want to contact a real estate agent in Cork for support.
