Important Information:
If you prefer to arrange your own accommodation, there are private rooms, flats, and houses available in and around Dublin. You have two options:
Amber
Arrange independently
Please also refer to our 'Look out for fraud' section, which highlights the potential risks of booking accommodation privately.
If you have any queries regarding accommodation availability and accommodation options, you can contact the Dublin International Study Centre Central Student Support Team who are available for any help or advice you may need.
Scammers may specifically target international students so it is important to be able to recognise common signs of fraudulent activity and know what to do if you come across it. Let us know at fraudreporting@studygroup.com if you have any concerns about fraudulent activity when dealing with a private accommodation provider so that we can help to protect you and other international students in case they are targeted in the same way.
