Finding Accommodation
Accommodation is sought in advance for students who complete and return the Acommodation Request Form. It is possible to book accommodation for the full academic year or for one semester but usually not for a period less than one semester. Payment is due for the full period booked.
A deposit is payable when accommodation is allocated. This is refunded at the end of the rental period, less any charges that may have accrued, e.g. agreed cleaning charges, damages. Please note the deposit may be non-refundable in the event of cancellation. Terms and conditions vary depending on the accommodation booked and you should always read any rental agreement / lease carefully before signing it.
Closing Dates for Accommodation Applications
You are advised to return your application form as early as possible, as accommodation is both limited and allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

Finding Accommodation on Arrival
Students who wish to source accommodation for themselves are advised to arrive early and stay in a local guesthouse or hotel for an initial period. Note that Limerick does not have a youth hostel which offers temporary accommodation. Finding suitable accommodation at a late stage can be stressful and time-consuming, and especially difficult for students remaining for one semester only, as most accommodation on the private market is rented for the full academic year.
Details of accommodation vacancies may be obtained from the College’s Accommodation Officers Cecily.Ogrady@mic.ul.ie or Florence.Cleary@mic.ul.ie, College notice-boards, local newspapers - The Limerick Leader, Limerick Post and Rental properties can also be found on www.daft.ie.
