Accommodation
One of the first steps an incoming or prospective Trinity College student needs to make before coming to College is deciding where they're going to live, and then securing their accommodation.
Trinity Hall
There are a large number of rooms available for first year undergraduate students at the University residence at Trinity Hall.
Trinity Hall is a large, friendly complex with its own Junior Common Room team who organise social activities and events throughout the year. Situated 4km from the city centre, and easily accessible on foot or by public transport from the central campus, Trinity Hall accommodates around 1,000 students in shared apartments of 3-6 single or twin bedrooms.
More InformationHow to apply:
Non-EU/direct entry applicants should consult www.tcd.ie/accommodation for accommodation timelines and to apply before 1st July 2026.
Accommodation applications from CAO applicants for the 2026/27 academic year will be invited from 1st July onwards.
All prospective students interested in living in Trinity Hall should apply during this period.
Please note that places at Trinity Hall are not offered on a first to apply, first offered basis. Random selection will be applied to all successful* applications to fill places, noting that there are always more applicants than places available.
It is expected that the first round of accommodation offers will be issued 2-3 days after CAO Round 1 Course Offers, and subsequent rounds of accommodation offers will be issued each day until all places have been filled.
