Medical School Accommodations

Students have a choice of on-campus accommodation or a privately operated student accommodation a short walk from the main campus:

• ScholarLee Accommodations — This complex is conveniently located next to the UCC campus and offers top quality accommodations with a variety of sharing options and price points.
• Nido-Living – We are super lucky to have not one, not two but three locations in Cork and more in the pipeline! Discover Broga House, Ashlin House,  and of course the amazing flagship residence Curraheen Point.

The school offers on-campus accommodation for over 3,000 students in both halls of residence. Atlantic Bridge has a reserved block of rooms for our new entering students so you are guaranteed accommodations in your first year. It is understood that health science programs are academically challenging so this is taken into account when coordinating roommates. UCD Accommodations makes every effort to keep the health science students grouped together to ensure our students have the right environment to support their study needs i.e. quiet!

Roebuck Castle would be ideal for 6-year medicine students. This residence offers convenient catered accommodation.

UCD Village Residences – Atlantic Bridge maintains a block of rooms in this newly built self-catering apartments. All bedrooms have their own bathroom & there is shared living and kitchen space built out to a high standard.

You will receive booking forms in June of the year you are accepted. Every effort will be made to accommodate roommate requests.
