Tussu listings snapshot (Students' Union portal, https://tussu.ie/accommodation/, observed 1 October 2026; aggregate only)
- Listing counts on the portal landing page (all campuses, 465 in total): Athlone 204, Moylish 85, Thurles 47, Clonmel 36, Ennis 13, Clare Street 9. The portal's campus-filter results pages state lower counts (Athlone 81, Moylish 16, Thurles 14, Clonmel 11, Ennis 3, Clare Street 3), so the numbers are not consistent and listings can be tagged to more than one campus.
- Arrangement types the portal offers: 1 bed apartment; digs 5 days; digs/bed and breakfast 7 days; room in owner-occupied house 5 days or 7 days; shared private student house; short-term apartments; short-term lets; other.
- Moylish filter (cheapest-first view, about 25 listing cards): mostly rooms in owner-occupied houses (5 days, the majority) and 5-day digs. Weekly rent observed EUR 110 to EUR 200 for rooms, with one 1-bed apartment at EUR 300 a week; monthly figures where shown EUR 425 to EUR 900. Deposits ranged from EUR 125 to EUR 850, typically one to four weeks' rent or one month's rent for a room, and EUR 1,200 for the apartment. Listings tagged to Moylish include addresses in Clare and county Limerick as well as the city.
- Listing policy (stated on the portal): TUS Students' Union accepts no responsibility for false, misleading or inaccurate information in listings and may remove a listing pending investigation if fraud or misleading information is reported to it.
- SU contacts shown on the portal: Midlands (090) 646 8067; Midwest (061) 293135. Opening hours shown: Monday to Thursday 9am-5pm (closed 1-2pm), Friday 9am-3pm (closed 12-1pm).
- Scam caution: listings are landlord-submitted and not vetted by TUS. Treat an unusual address, a request to pay before viewing, or a price far below the range above as a warning sign; never pay a deposit without seeing the property.
5. Getting around
Bus Éireann Limerick city services with a Student/Young Adult Leap Card: EUR 0.65 (0-11 stages), EUR 0.80 (12+ stages); Red Zone Young Adult/Student 7-day ticket EUR 13.40, calendar-month ticket EUR 42.00 (Leap Card Limerick page, year not stated).

9. Timeline for Sept 2027 entry
2026/27 dates apply. Thomond Student Village applications opened mid-April in 2026; Tussu listings are rolling. Apply for purpose-built places before CAO offers if you want one, since Cratloe Wood says first-year rent is not due until three days after Round 1 offers.
10. Check before paying
Purpose-built student accommodation is typically a licence; digs are outside RTB protections. RTB: student-specific accommodation deposit cannot exceed one month's rent (https://rtb.ie/renting/types-of-tenancies/student-specific-accommodation/). Do not pay before viewing (https://rtb.ie/students/).

How to ask the college
- How long is the contract, and what are the exact move-in and move-out dates?
- What's included in the rent (electricity, heating, Wi-Fi, bins, insurance)?
- How much is the deposit, and when and how is it refunded?
- What are the cancellation terms if you don't get your CAO offer or change course?
- Are there rules for first years (priority, distance rules, age limits, lotteries)?
If you don't get a room
- Ask the accommodation office about waiting lists and late availability.
- Use the college's own listing service or students' union listings shown on this page.
- Consider digs (a room in a family home): see the digs and rent-a-room guide.
- Work out whether commuting is realistic using the transport details on this page.
- Start looking in spring. Don't wait for CAO offers in August.
Scam warning
Report any listing with an overseas address, a request to pay before a viewing, or no RTB registration. Read the tenancy rights and scams guide.
