Dublin housing:

It is important to apply for housing as soon as possible. 

In the acceptance email from UCD, they will indicate when you will be contacted by housing for accommodation. Students are typically housed in Belgrove. Accommodations are co-ed and you cannot choose your roommate, however, you will have your own bedroom. Students may be able to switch rooms with other students during the placement period on campus. You will need to work with housing once on campus.

Pots and pans are not provided but there is a storage area where you can “rent” items past participants have left behind. They are available on a first-come-first-serve basis. In the past, UCD has hosted a trip to IKEA for students to buy needed supplies.

You are not required to use campus housing, although it is encouraged. If you are interested in off campus housing, UCD provides information here.

If you have questions regarding housing, it is best to contact your housing provider directly. The UIUC business study abroad office has no authority over host university policy and procedure. If it is a situation where you are not getting a response, please let us know.

If you choose to live off campus, check with your housing provider to inquire about the earliest move-in date. 

Regardless of what housing you choose, be sure to arrange it before arriving on campus.

Illinois housing:

• If you are studying abroad for only one semester, you may need to sublease your Champaign-Urbana apartment or find a sublease for yourself for the semester you’ll be on campus. 

• Post on the study abroad housing board (this link can also be found on the study abroad website under "Support Resources")

• Use this housing board to find a semester sublease for yourself or to advertise your sublease to incoming exchange students.

• If you are living in UIUC housing, notify the housing department that you will be studying abroad. We can provide a confirmation letter, if needed.
