Living in Belfast as a student
As the capital of Northern Ireland, Belfast is home to the 24,000 students from Queen’s University Belfast. The city of Belfast is the 12th largest in the UK and the second largest in Ireland. During the 19th century it became a major port, leading to its vital role in the Industrial Revolution.
Throughout Belfast, there are many student properties to house the growing student population. Queen’s University Belfast has 9 university managed halls, and 4 private halls. The University halls provide students with a range of packages, from en-suite to standard rooms and offers accommodation that is close to the university campus. There is also the option of double rooms, and most of the accommodation offered by the University is self-catered.
Private accommodation providers offer a perfect alternative to halls. Students have a range of options if they choose private accommodation, including halls with gym facilities and communal spaces such as common rooms.
However, many second and third-year students choose to move away from halls and move into house or flat shares with their peers. The city of Belfast has many student houses on offer, usually for groups of three or more residents. These properties are managed by landlords or letting agents who have years of experience within student properties and have supported the student community within Belfast throughout their career.
