Where to Stay in Dublin?
Dublin offers a range of options from shared houses and flats to private student residences. If you have not secured housing in advance of your arrival, we strongly advise you to arrive as early as possible in order to maximise your chances of finding suitable and affordable accommodation, as demand for housing in Dublin is extremely high.
The Threshold Scamwatch Toolkit may provide helpful advice for first-time renters on how to protect themselves from online rental scams.

Digs/Lodgings
'Digs' is an informal term for lodgings in Ireland.
Please contact MIE directly for a list of host families who have rooms (and in some cases full board) available to students.
Digs are traditionally a little cheaper than private rented accommodation. Digs generally cost between €100-€150 per week and vary in what they include (many include bills, meals, laundry, etc.)
Make sure to clarify what the cost includes before signing up for lodgings.
