Accommodations
Trinity is not able to provide housing services or dormitory space to visiting medical students, but it is not difficult to rent short-term apartments in Dublin. Their International Office advises visiting students to find private accommodation (i.e., an apartment or a house) in the city centre (Dublin 2) or near St. James’ Hospital (Dublin 7 and 8). It is quite common to share a house/apartment with other international visitors. Short-term private rentals are advertised through daft.ie, which is the most popular accommodation website in Ireland and is recommended by students. Students may also visit Trinity’s Accommodation page or the International Students website.
