LIFESTYLE OPTIONS

Finding the accommodation that fits your lifestyle requirements

Accommodation for students wishing to make a specific 'lifestyle' choice is offered in some locations. Please ensure you check the accommodation details when selecting your preferences.

There is a limited availability for:

No alcohol - consumption of alcohol is not permitted at any time in the building

Single Gender- members of the opposite gender are not permitted at any time (this includes guests who may wish to stay overnight)

Quiet Living - you are living with students who have chosen a more study focused environment and noise must be always kept to a minimum.

Irish Language Accommodation - Irish speaking students have the option of living in dedicated accommodation to allow them to continue to develop their language skills and support academic studies.  Preference for places will be for students who are studying full time on a course in which Irish language is taught.
