Office of Accommodation & Community Life

What is the Office of Accommodation & Community Life?

The Office of Accommodation & Community Life is fully committed to the enhancement of the Student Experience in University College Cork. The goal is to provide an information service to all students seeking any type of accommodation. We also aim to create a supportive community environment in which to live, learn and thrive through an up and coming Residential Life Programme. This will be achieved through creative programmes within the residential setting that emphasise student engagement, community building and student leadership. It is hoped that this will enable students to make a successful transition to University life at UCC.

UCC Campus Accommodation

UCC Campus Accommodation offer several different residences near the main UCC campus. These residences are owned and managed by UCC, and are specifically designed for student life, offering security, a reception service and other amenities.

Privately Owned Student Apartment Complexes

Cork boasts a wide range of purpose built student accommodation (apartment style), which is privately owned, but caters predominantly to UCC students. We recommend that students consider all options when investigating their accommodation needs. You will find a full list of privately owned accommodation providers on our website https://www.ucc.ie/en/accommodation/privateapartmentcomplexes/ 

Private Housing Options

The University is situated in a pleasant residential area where there is a wide variety of private housing options to suit individuals or groups.  Students can rent a room in a landlord owned student house or a room in a house that is occupied by the owner (known as Digs).  Rents can vary according to size, type, location, distance from the University and facilities. 

Please see https://www.ucc.ie/en/accommodation/studentpad/ to search for private rental homes and owner occupied houses. We strongly recommend that students book their accommodation early before arriving in Ireland to ensure your needs are met.
