Accommodation options for international students at SETU Waterford

Hello everyone! I’m an international student planning to study at South East Technological University (SETU) in Waterford, Ireland. I’m excited about this opportunity but also a bit concerned about finding suitable accommodation. I would greatly appreciate any information or advice from current students or alumni regarding the best accommodation options for international students at SETU Waterford.

I’m particularly interested in learning about the following:

  1. On-campus accommodation: Are there any student residences available, and what are the application processes and deadlines?
  2. Off-campus housing: What are some recommended areas to search for apartments or shared houses near the university?
  3. Accommodation costs: What is the average monthly rent for student accommodation in Waterford, and are there any additional costs I should be aware of?
  4. Accommodation support: Does the university provide any assistance or resources to help international students find suitable housing?

Any insights, experiences, or recommendations would be incredibly helpful as I navigate this process. Thank you in advance for your guidance and support!

For on-campus accommodation, the university offers student residences, but availability is limited, so apply early through the university’s accommodation portal.
