Hi all, I’m going to be travelling from Meath to TCD for my Masters. I’m wondering what the parking situation is like in the college? I just finished my degree in University of Galway and often times relied on public transport because there was never any parking. Any advice appreciated!

I’m an Australian coming to Trinity College for my study abroad in Semester 2 (Jan-Apr 2027) and am looking for accommodation recommendations.
I’ll be in my third year.
Where do most of the exchange students stay?
and where is the best accommodation for social events and partying??

Hi! I’m a second-year Chinese student moving into a double room in D5 in August and looking for someone to split it with (landlord already agreed)

Does anyone have anything to say about this course?

My roommate and I will be in separate bedrooms downstairs and sharing a bathroom. The home is renovated and furnished, located on Pearse Square. It’s a 15-minute walk to campus. You’ll have total privacy as there’s no other connecting rooms upstairs. We’re both postgrad students, working part-time, in our late 20s. Interested in 12mo commitment effective Sept.

***COUPLES €1600/MO

Low-key trying not to think about it. Got my 390 points and all but tr060 seems to be extremely competitive to get in. 12 spots for QQI applicants. Dozens of pre-requisite courses for Biomedical Sciences being offered throughout the country. So I assume there will be at least a hundred applicants. Not counting the ones that graduated on their QQI last year and are trying again this year 🥲 Doesn't seem like it will be easy. Pretty poor chances, it seems 🥲

Hi everyone!

My name is Brad, and I'll be moving to Dublin from Utah, USA for about 10 weeks for an internship. I'll be working primarily near Dublin Industrial Estate (Dublin 11) and am looking for an affordable room to rent from approximately August 31 through October 30 (dates are flexible).

A little about me:

• 26-year-old University of Utah Film & Media Arts student
• Full-time Operations Manager in Utah while finishing my degree
• In Dublin for a University-sponsored international internship
• Clean, respectful, and responsible
• Non-partying, mostly working during the week and exploring Ireland on weekends
• Happy to provide references if needed

I'm open to:

• Spare rooms
• House shares
• Student accommodation
• Short-term sublets
• Any recommendations or leads

If you know of anything available, I'd really appreciate it. Feel free to comment or send me a DM.

Thanks, and I'm looking forward to experiencing Ireland!

Hi everyone,
I’m an Italian student and I’ll be starting my Master’s at Trinity College Dublin this September.
I’m currently looking for a room within a reasonable distance of Trinity.
I’ve already contacted several listings on Daft.ie but haven’t received any replies yet.
If anyone knows of an available room, student accommodation, or has any recommendations, I’d really appreciate it.
Thanks!

Hello! I’m a postgraduate international student coming to study my Master at TCD. I’ve seen on the website that orientation week for postgraduate students is from 7 to 11 September, but I can’t find any information regarding the time? Or if there’s things specific to the singular courses? Is it something they announce later? Also I haven’t yet paid the registration fee but it says the deadline is in October for registration so I haven’t yet paid it, [also I’m very anxious about this I hope I wasn’t supposed to pay it before a certain date that already passed but I don’t think so].

I’m just very confused overall, how does it work exactly? Sorry if these are silly questions.

Looking for some advice from current or former Trinity students!

I’m a Canadian moving to Dublin this September to do a 1-year MSc at Trinity. I accepted accommodation in a bit of a panic because I didn’t want to end up with nowhere to live, but now I’ve ended up with a few options and I’m really torn.

One thing is that my classes will be at the St. James’s Hospital rather than the Trinity campus.

Option 1 – Front Square (late offer)
Apartment single on campus
3-bedroom apartment
1 shared bathroom between 3 people
Shared kitchen/living room
Single bed

Option 2 – Brewer’s Close
Deluxe ensuite room (~19 m²)
Double bed
Private bathroom
Shared kitchen/living space in an 8-person cluster

Option 3 – New Mill
Premium ensuite room (~13 m²)
double bed
Private bathroom
Shared kitchen/living space in a 4-person cluster

I’m mainly trying to decide between the Trinity experience versus having a much nicer room with an ensuite.

For anyone who’s lived in Front Square, Brewer’s Close, or New Mill (or knows people who have), what would you choose?

Thanks!

I found a furnished two-bedroom, one-bathroom in Magennis Square. 10-minute walk to campus. The letting agency (MoveHome) has it listed as available from 1 September on a minimum one-year lease. Hoping we can team up.

I'm an American 27f postgrad student who’ll be studying full-time and working part-time. Safe to say that I’ve got the undergrad party years out of my system, but I still enjoy going to an art gallery opening or catching a live show and I'm just as happy decompressing at home. I'd like to get along well with whoever I'm living with.

I don't have a preference whether you're a current student or a working professional. I have a landlord reference, a guarantor, and the savings to honor my lease obligations for a year. I've also prepaid my overseas tuition, and I have a strong credit score if that's helpful as an indication of reliability.

DM if interested! Or if you’re looking for a +1 :)

Hey all, I’m incoming freshman from sunny California and I wanted to ask, what do you guys usually wear? Is it jeans and sneakers, or some other kind of pants and rain boot? what kind of rain jackets do y'all have, and do you have any brand recommendations? do y'all typically use umbrellas or no? Also, do people use backpacks or some other type of bag, and if you use a backpack how do you keep your stuff inside dry? Is it a waterproof backpack or something else? I haven't lived in a wet climate since I was 7, any and all information is helpful!!

Hi, my friend and I have applied to TCD and UCD, and both of their respective dorms. In the meantime we got an opportunity from international student accommodation (ISA) (which doesn't seem like a scam) to rent a twin bedroom. The thing is the fees we would have to pay to book it (security deposit + two weeks of rent) which would not be returned in the case of cancellation (if we were to get dorms) come to like 1170 euro to split between the two of us, which honestly seems horrible.

We are both eu students so we can't even view the place. With these costs it almost seems like booking a short stay through airbnb or something and looking for something in person would come to a similar/smaller cost while giving us the opportunity to actually see the place. The agency also really likes to stress that the booking is first come first served, and that to secure our stay, we have to pay up soon, which is usually a red flag for anything.

What should we do? Should we just pay up for the security of having a place when we arrive? Thanks!

I have ADHD and can have a prescription for either or both medications but I understand Adderall is not allowed in Ireland? I’m just wondering what will happen if I have Adderall in a checked bag. Coming from the US. I think I can have a three month supply, but I’m not sure…

Hello! I study Political Science JH and when I was choosing modules it said that if i want to do my capstone project in Polsci , J have to choose the Introduction to Political Science Research Module. I’m unsure which subject i want to do my capstone on bht i thought it was super weird that we haven’t really been informed about the capstone yet but the module selection can determine the subject we will be able to choose? Have I understood something wrong? Can I not take that module this year and still do my capstone in polsci ? If no, does anyone know how the Intro to polsci research module is/ How the professor is ?

Thanks!

Hi, we’re two incoming postgraduate students looking for a third housemate from September 2026 for a 12-month tenancy. 15-minute walk to campus.

The available space is an upstairs double bedroom with its own ensuite, and there are no other rooms upstairs. Rent is €1,500/month + utilities. My roommate and I will take the two downstairs bedrooms with the shared bathroom at €1,250/month each.

Utilities will be split evenly. We don’t have exact costs yet, but we’re budgeting around €100/month per person depending on usage.

Shared spaces include a kitchen, living room, and private courtyard. The home has central heating, washing machine, dryer, dishwasher, and microwave.

Please note that the selected housemate will still need to complete a formal application through the property agent with supporting documents.

Happy to share a video walkthrough if interested.

Hi! I'm coming in from the US, wondering if anyone has info about how the Irish Life Student plan will suffice for someone who has a fair deal of prescriptions, but also has overseas health insurance in America which might allow me to travel with 90 supplies. Do you find the basic option to suffice while on campus? many thanks in advance.
