    Hello! :)

    Starting in UCC this September as a mature student, I'm 24. Looking to secure a nice room, in nice apartment with nice housemates! :D For the academic year (Sept - May/June). Something close to the college or in the city centre. PM me if you know of anything available or can help :) Thanks!!

    You can look at UCC website about accommodation here. For alternative you can take a look daft website here.

    Hello All,

    I am wondering if you would recommend halls for postgraduates in Cork or better shared housing.
    Was going to look on daft and am wondering where to live...
    Help is appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Steph

    Be careful of daft as the houses there are usually offered with 12 month leases, so if you plan on leaving Cork for the summer months you'll lose your deposit as your leaving early.

    As another poster wrote I'd try the UCC accomodation office first as they have landlords who are used to a 9 month tenancy. You can filter the available accomodation for Post-grad/Staff and if you ring a few of those landlords explaining your a mature student they might be willing to let to you

    A lot of the student accomodation is just that - student accomodation. It's going to be full of 17-21 yr olds full of hormones & drink who are away from home from the first time in their lives (ah, happy memories :) ) and you can always find a party on some floor but if your someone who needs peace and quiet every night they won't suit you.

    I've rented out rooms near UCC now for nearly 14 yrs and I was always worried when a tenant would leave mid lease, especially after Christmas as I thought I would not get a replacement. The three time it happened I had new tenants within a week - 3rd or 4th yrs as they needed quiet to get final yr projects finished.

    I think the flats over the new TESCOs at Dennehys Cross are post-grad only but I don't know anyone who has lived there. It might be worth posting in the Edu>UCC forum asking about them.
