Being in Dublin for your studies or exchange programme is about much more than classes, it’s an opportunity to dive into the European lifestyle, meet people from around the world, and explore culture, gastronomy, and leisure.
In Ireland, the number of international higher education students surpassed 40,400 in 2023/24, marking a 15% growth compared to the previous year, according to the ICEF (International Consultants for Education and Fairs).
Tourism is also booming. In June 2025, Ireland welcomed over 654,000 foreign visitors. This blend of study, travel, and culture makes Dublin an increasingly attractive destination.
Explore Dublin Beyond the Campus
Dublin offers a truly unique vibe: live-music pubs, historical landmarks, city parks, cultural events, and easy transport. Staying in a hostel in Dublin city centre or a well-located residence puts you right at the centre of it all.
Instead of simply attending classes, you can walk to cafés and bookshops, make friends at international student events, or enjoy sunsets along the River Liffey.
When choosing your accommodation, look for options that offer:
• A central location or easy access to public transport.
• An international atmosphere, with students from all over the world.
• Facilities such as Wi-Fi for study, common areas (kitchen, lounge), and social activities.
• A price that fits your budget – after all, you’re here to study, have fun, and explore, so your base should be reliable.
