The majority of students in Ireland live in shared houses, flats and apartments- typically with other university students. Some also live with families, and this option typcially includes provision of breakfast and an evening meal. Accommodation is also available on campus in DCU, and this includes the newly built Postgraduate Centre, which accommodates over 130 postgraduate students.

Campus Residences offers help and advice to DCU students in their search for accommodation, both on and off campus. International Students are advised to contact the Off Campus Accommodation Coordinator at before they arrive for information.
