On-campus / college-owned accommodation
TU Dublin states: "TU Dublin does not currently provide on-campus accommodation." It recommends three routes (purpose-built student accommodation, private renting, host family/digs) and runs StudentPad as its search portal.
Partner and purpose-built student accommodation
TU Dublin's Q&A says it has partnered with Mezzino Student Living for accommodation at city locations; students contact providers directly to book. Mezzino's own pages (academic year 2026/27):
- Highfield House, Marne Villas, Dublin 7 (D07 PC95): about 3 minutes on foot to Grangegorman. €251.94 to €676.26 per week depending on room type (2026/27). Fixed utility charge of €60 per week (heating, hot water, internet, waste). Contact: [email protected], +353 1 524 0111.
- Stoneybatter Place, Rope Walk, 20 Stoneybatter, Dublin 7 (D07 NP2K): Mezzino describes it as having "TU Dublin Grangegorman on its doorstep". €297 to €381.48 per week (2026/27). Service charge €48 per week (€65 for studios) covering utilities, internet, waste disposal and onsite services. Contact: [email protected], +353 1 685 4300. Both take enquiries and reservations through Mezzino's websites.
Private renting and digs
TU Dublin's commute guide suggests Stoneybatter, Phibsborough, Smithfield, Cabra, Broadstone, Arbour Hill, Drumcondra, Glasnevin, Rathmines and Ranelagh for the city campuses; its Q&A maps Grangegorman to Dublin 7 or 9 (Cabra, Stoneybatter, Smithfield), Bolton Street to Dublin 1, 2, 7, 8, 9 and 11, and Aungier Street to Rathmines, Rathgar and Dublin 6, 8, 12 and 14. TU Dublin StudentPad (tudublinstudentpad.ie) is TU Dublin's accommodation portal for digs, private rentals and host families. TU Dublin's host-family page says students typically stay five or seven nights a week, and in some cases as little as three days; host families offer self-catering, bed and breakfast or full board. Rent context, not a room price: the RTB Rent Index for Q1 2026 gives an average of €2,301 per month for new tenancies in Dublin City Council area and €2,335 for Dublin overall (whole-property averages).
Getting around
Student and Young Adult Leap Card holders pay €1.00 for the 90-minute fare in Dublin (Dublin Bus excluding Express and Nitelink, Go-Ahead Ireland, Luas and DART/commuter rail within Zone 1), with caps of €3.00 a day and €12.00 a week in Zone 1 (Transport for Ireland). TU Dublin says the Luas Green Line serves Ranelagh and that Grangegorman has Luas access.
Supports
TU Dublin Student Accommodation Team: [email protected], +353 1 220 5600 (general university line +353 1 220 5000, [email protected]). TU Dublin states students must contact providers or landlords directly to book, and that it "does not vet properties, landlords or homeowners". Published resources include the Student Accommodation Q&A, Cost of Living Guide 2026, RTB Student Renting Handbook, a scam-prevention guide and an Accommodation Wellbeing Toolkit. The Students' Union accommodation guides are at https://tudublinsu.ie/your-welfare/accommodation-guides. TU Dublin financial supports (2026/27): the Rent Assistance Scheme is for students renting formally who do not normally live in Dublin or who live independently for personal circumstances; applications reopened for 2026/27 on Monday 14 September 2026. It is a one-off lump-sum award, needs a lease dated no earlier than 1 August or proof of rent payment, and excludes part-time students (https://www.tudublin.ie/for-students/student-services-and-support/financial-support/financial-support-saf-tu-dublin/rent-assistance-scheme/; contact [email protected]). The General Student Assistance Fund (average award €1,000, cannot be used for tuition or registration fees; international students not eligible) also reopened on 14 September 2026 ([email protected], 01 220 8556). TU Dublin's Q&A gives mid-October for the Rent Assistance Scheme, which differs from the scheme page; use the scheme page.
Accessibility
Disability Support Service (all campuses): [email protected], +353 1 220 5184; Learning Support Officers are based at Grangegorman, Blanchardstown, Tallaght and Aungier Street. Ask the provider or landlord about adapted rooms before booking. DARE information: https://accesscollege.ie/dare/.
International students
TU Dublin's international-student page advises booking only purpose-built student accommodation from abroad and securing private rentals in person after arrival, to avoid scams. The Q&A states a landlord should ask for one month's rent as deposit. Incoming students without a student number register on StudentPad using '1234' as the student number and email the accommodation team for access confirmation.
Timeline for Sept 2027 entry
- CAO: the 2027 application cycle opens on 5 November 2026. The last cycle's published dates (2026 cycle) were: standard deadline 1 February 17:00, late deadline 1 May 17:00, Leaving Cert results 21 August, first offers 26 August. 2027 deadlines will be on the CAO timetable page.
- TU Dublin's Q&A advises incoming September students to begin searching immediately and to register on StudentPad in July or early August. 2026/27 Mezzino figures are shown above.
Key facts before you pay
Under RTB rules for student-specific accommodation, a tenancy or licence should not exceed 41 weeks unless you ask for longer in writing; the deposit cannot exceed one month's rent, and deposit plus advance rent cannot exceed two months' rent in total (students paying rent and tuition to the same provider may opt out of that cap). Fixed-term arrangements can be ended between 1 May and 1 October (RTB). Check whether you are being offered a tenancy or a licence and whether the property is registered with the RTB before you pay.
National guides: https://rtb.ie/renting/types-of-tenancies/student-specific-accommodation/ ; https://www.citizensinformation.ie/en/housing/renting-a-home/tenants-rights-and-responsibilities/tenants-rights-and-obligations/ SUSI applies the adjacent rate of maintenance grant when your normal residence is under 30 km from the college and the non-adjacent rate at 30 km or more, measured by SUSI on Google Maps (SUSI adjacency page). This affects how much grant support you have toward rent.

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.
