On-campus rooms
Rooms on campus are mostly reserved for students in their final
year and Trinity Scholars (see page 17). There are a number of
rooms on the campus suitable for students who have mobility
difficulties and who are capable of independent living. Where,
due to medical or other particular circumstances, participation in
College may be facilitated by the provision of accommodation,
applications will receive special consideration. Applications
from students with special needs should be addressed to the
Registrar of Chambers, Accommodation Office, West Chapel,
Trinity College, Dublin 2 as soon as an offer to a course at Trinity
College is received. A supplementary form will then be sent
requesting information from a medical practitioner and other
relevant professionals, this form can also be downloaded from
the web.

Other options for first-year students
For students who do not apply for or do not secure a place in
College accommodation the alternative is to seek private rented
accommodation, usually sharing an apartment or a house with
other students.
The Accommodation Advisory Service operates annually
from late August to the beginning of term in cooperation with
the Students’ Union. It provides information and contacts for
students wishing to secure rented accommodation and offers
guidance on what to look for when renting. Phones are provided
so that students may make contact with landlords. The Advisory
Service may also be able to give some information on digs or
lodgings (residing in a room in a house with meals provided).
