CAMPUS, CITY OR COAST
The Sligo City bus service stops on campus over 30 times per day which gives students more options when it comes to where to live. Some choose to live close to the campus. Others choose city centre accommodation in the hustle and bustle of cafes, restaurants, shops and nightlife. Some opt for the coastal towns of Strandhill and Rosses Point with their stunning natural beauty.
AFFORDABILITY
The cost of student accommodation is so much more affordable compared to many of Ireland’s other university towns and cities. The cost of a twin room starts at €63 per week, whilst a single room is €85. The savings mean you can enjoy your student life without worrying it will break the bank.
THAT EXTRA TOUCH
There are some extras that make accommodation in Sligo unique. The Students’ Union organise a free bus from campus to a local supermarket every Monday evening so students can do their weekly shop.
Some student villages offer free return shuttle buses to the train and bus station which will save on taxis and walking. A laundry service where you drop off your laundry and collect it the next day fresh and folded is available. Some accommodation villages offer smart TV’s and free Netflix. Healthy, subsidised meals at any of our on-campus cafes and restaurants mean students don’t always have to cook.
