Living in Cork as a student
The 2nd largest city in Ireland and host to over 37,000 students from various universities and colleges, such as University College Cork, Cork Institute of Technology, National Maritime College of Ireland, Griffith College Cork, Cork College of Commerce and other smaller colleges, Cork welcomes students from all around the world. Originally a monastic settlement, Cork was expanded by Viking invaders.
Student numbers being high, naturally the accommodation provision is particularly healthy, with most universities offering uni hall rooms of various sizes and standards, from non-en-suite twin rooms to single en-suite ones. Private sector successfully operates in Cork, with 22 halls from variety of major providers.
Private halls thanks to their great numbers offer a wide choice of rooms. As in university accommodation, students can expect cheaper, shared bathroom single rooms, but also superior self-contained studios. Most accommodations have an attractive range of amenities, with various distances to the different campuses. Other accommodation options are also available, students being able to choose from a wide array of options. Sharing a house or a large apartment with a group of friends is especially popular with students of Cork’s universities. Renting like that can help drive down individual costs, while giving flexibility in location and furnishing of the property. Flats and smaller apartments are always very popular too and are especially suited for those hoping to move in with their partner, a smaller number of friends, or simply prefer a more central location. This type of properties, most commonly chosen by students hoping to move on from life in halls, is typically managed by landlords and estate agents who often specialise in renting for students and have an excellent reputation for knowing the needs and wants of students.
