Housing & DBS Services
Housing
Host Family
Irish homestays, living with a “typical” Irish family, are carefully selected by DBS
and are highly recommended by past study abroad participants. Homestays offer an incomparable opportunity to deepen your knowledge of Irish culture; they will allow you to observe and participate in daily life in Dublin. Students have private bedrooms and are provided with breakfast and dinner daily. Some families house more than one student (possibly a fellow study abroad or international student) and most live about 30 to 45 minutes outside Dublin. All families are close to public transportation.
Generally speaking, students can expect to receive the details of their host family two to three weeks prior to departure. We encourage study abroad students to communicate with their host family at least once prior to arrival.
Student Apartments
DBS also offers housing in a new apartment complex located in Blackhall Place which is adjacent to Blackhall Road (Dublin 7), a 20 to 25 minute walk to campus. This housing is for those who prefer a more independent living arrangement and an easy commute to the DBS facilities. The apartment complex is not a dormitory; it is a new development of high quality student accommodation offering comfortable suite-style apartments, fully furnished kitchens, laundry facilities and internet access. Suites typically have 3 to 4 private bedrooms (subject to availability), a dining and living area, fully furnished kitchen and balcony.
