Accommodation in Dublin
Arrive with somewhere organised. Decide your next step from Dublin.
For Academic Year students, our normal recommendation is to organise your first 8 weeks of accommodation with ISI. That gives you time to settle in, understand the city and decide what works best for the rest of your stay.
Host Family
Live with a local host and experience everyday life in Dublin while you settle into your course.
Host families are visited by the ISI accommodation team in advance and Garda vetted.
Student Residence
A more independent, self-catering option for adult students. Residence accommodation is for students aged 18+ and is subject to exact availability and allocation.
Private Rent
Some long-stay students choose to look for a private room or shared accommodation after arrival. Our guide explains how to search carefully and understand the basics.
Why start with 8 weeks?
Searching for long-term accommodation is easier when you know the city, your class timetable, transport routes and the areas that suit your daily routine. Starting with ISI accommodation gives you a base while you learn how Dublin works.
Longer accommodation can sometimes be arranged, but exact availability, property and final placement always need confirmation.
