Trinity college was founded in 1592 and is steeped in history. Trinity is committed to excellence in both research and teaching and is ranked joint-101st in the QS World University Ranking 2020/21. Trinity is located in the heart of Dublin City Centre with a beautiful and historic campus. It is home to 18,000 undergraduate and postgraduate students across all major disciplines in the arts and humanities, and in business, law, engineering, science, and health sciences. Trinity boasts a campus culture of scholarship, innovation, creativity and entrepreneurship as well as an inclusive academic environment.
There is very little availability in student residences off campus however feel free to contact us at info@studenthouse.com if you need additional house finding support – we can advise accordingly or refer you to relocation support agents in Dublin.
Trinity students can either stay On Campus or Off Campus. On-campus housing is located in either the historic buildings in the centre of the campus or in more modern developments further east. Trinity’s iconic campus gives students an opportunity to experience a unique and memorable housing experience in the beautiful environs of the 400-year-old university.
Naturally, city centre campus student accommodation is in relatively short supply so the majority of Trinity students seek off campus student accommodation every year. Thankfully, Dublin has added thousands of excellent purpose built student accommodation rooms over the past number of years in the City Centre. Trinity students can now stay in excellent student housing within walking distance to Trinity’s campus. Apart from purpose built student accommodation, other options include houses and apartments on the open market as well as student digs.
