Finding the right accommodation is the first step to a good college experience. Our Cork team knows the city inside out. Welcome to Cork, EazyCity's home and Ireland's most affordable student city. Whether you are studying at University College Cork, Munster Technological University or one of Cork's ILEP language schools, the right home makes everything else easier. Cork combines a vibrant, walkable city with genuine community spirit, at 10–15% less than Dublin. Accommodation runs from shared apartments at €200–€250 a week, through homestays, to purpose-built residences, all within reach of Ireland’s friendliest student population. We have helped hundreds of students find a home here: close to campus, close to the English Market, and close to everything that makes Cork worth moving for. Degree studies, professional qualifications or English language courses all follow the same process, and we walk you through it. ![A living room in a shared EazyCity apartment in Cork](https://eazycity-staging.flyingweb.design/wp-content/uploads/living-room-scaled.jpg) Shared apartment€200–€250 / wkHomestay, half board€220–€280 / wkStudent residence€250–€320 / wkStudent bus pass€60–€80 / month Why choose Cork ## Five reasons students pick Cork over the capital. Cork feels like a genuine community rather than a student city, which most people who move here end up preferring. ### Affordability that lasts Cork's cost of living is genuinely lower than Dublin's. Transport is the biggest single difference, and plenty of students walk or cycle and spend nothing at all on it. - €2,700saved per year - €60–80bus pass vs €140 - €0if you walk or cycle ### Vibrant centre, student-friendly The centre is compact and walkable: most accommodation is 10–20 minutes on foot from a campus or language school. The English Market, independent cafés, live music and bookshops are all reachable without a bus pass. ### World-class institutions University College Cork holds over 20,000 students and a world-ranked research record. MTU covers technology, engineering, hospitality and business, and Cork's ILEP language schools are recognised English pathway providers. ### Strong part-time work Hospitality, retail and customer service are all hiring. Ten to fifteen hours a week is realistic alongside study, and most students find work close to where they live. ### Food, music and culture Cork is Ireland's food capital: the English Market, farmers' markets and award-winning restaurants define local life, with festivals through the year and live music on Cornmarket Street. Student life in Cork ## Small enough to feel like home, big enough for opportunity. A population of around 210,000 means you start recognising faces, finding your own spots and building real friendships inside a few weeks. ### A week here, roughly - Monday to FridayClasses at UCC or MTU, library sessions and part-time shifts. - EveningsCafé meet-ups on St Patrick's Street, live music on Cornmarket Street, or study groups back at the house. - WeekendsThe English Market, the coast at Inchydoney thirty minutes away, hiking in West Cork, festivals, or a shift at work. ### Part-time work, and what it pays - Hospitality: cafés, restaurants, pubs€12–15 / hr - Retail: Patrick Street and the English Market€11.50–13 / hr - Customer service and admin€12–14 / hr - Tutoring and language exchange€15–20 / hr Most students work ten to fifteen hours a week alongside study, which comes to roughly €500–€750 a month towards living costs. “Moving to Cork was the best decision. It is affordable, the people are genuine, and I actually feel part of a community rather than another face in a big city. My accommodation was sorted in minutes and my flatmates are now my best mates.” Sophia · UCC student, EazyCity resident Frequently asked questions ## Cork accommodation, answered. Anything not covered here, ask the Cork office directly — they answer portal messages in about two hours during office hours. Q ### Is Cork cheaper than Dublin for students? Yes, significantly. Shared apartments average €210 a week in Cork against €280 in Dublin, and the bus pass is €70 a month against €140. Many students here live within walking distance of campus and spend nothing on transport at all. A typical student saves €2,500–€3,000 a year across rent, transport and food. Q ### What accommodation is available near UCC? Plenty. UCC's main campus sits centrally, within walking distance of most city-centre accommodation. Shared apartments cluster around Merchant's Quay, South Terrace and the streets beside the Mardyke; homestays sit across the residential suburbs, fifteen to twenty-five minutes out by bus or bike; and purpose-built residences stand next to or very near the campus. Q ### How much does student accommodation in Cork cost? Shared apartments run €200–€250 a week all-in, homestays €220–€280 a week with breakfast and an evening meal, and student residences €250–€320 a week including utilities, wifi, contents insurance and gym access. A shared apartment works out at roughly €850–€1,000 a month, or €10,400–€12,000 for the year. Q ### Can I work part-time while studying in Cork? Yes, and most students do. International students on a valid visa may work up to twenty hours a week in term and full-time during breaks. Hospitality pays €12–15 an hour, retail €11.50–13, call centres €12–14 and tutoring €15–20. Ten to fifteen hours a week comes to €500–€750 a month.
