Moving In | UCC Study Abroad

Hahah these weekly updates were originally meant for my friends and family at home, but if you’re studying abroad/doing your erasmus in Cork (or anywhere else) and have questions about anything, please reach out! I’d love to help :)

    You are so cute! I really admire how naturally you took this adventure in lol. Meeting new people and doing new things, I love that. My plan is to study abroad in Limerick at one point during my college years.

    UCC doesn’t provide the accommodation, but there are a lot of student accommodation options around the city!

    How did you select your living accommodation? Were you able to walk to campus from your apartment?

    I had a hard time finding short term accommodation, so this was one of the options I found. I saw Scholarlee and the Hatch and ended up picking Scholarlee because it was so close to campus. Campus was maybe a five minute walk which was so nice!! Walking to the city took like 30 minutes, but I liked being close to campus because it motivated me to go to class

    Were you staying at Scholarlee? I think potentially magazine Road? I will be staying with Scholarlee this coming school year! How was your experience?

    Haha yeah I was! I was very happy with my experience with Scholarlee. They were very accommodating and also had a cleaning service every other week to clean our kitchen and living room which was super nice. I liked how close it was to UCC as well. And Sicilian Delights across the street is 👌🏻

    Ohh, I see. I would recommend bringing comfortable shoes you can wear all the time (lots of walking… I had white reeboks), a rain jacket/rain boots, travel-sized toiletries in case you decide to go on trips during the semester, a lock for hostels, a journal, a waterbottle, etc. You can buy bedding from Penney’s when you get here, so I wouldn’t worry about anything like that! I was sure to pack lots of warm clothes too since it was generally pretty cold

    Ahh no way! I am LOVING it! I am so glad I picked Cork - the city is big enough but not too overwhelming, and UCC does a great job with international students by making us feel welcomed and included. I’m on an international society trip as we speak to county Kerry, where we get to see the Dingle peninsula, Killarney National Park, the ring of kerry, etc. Everyone stays in a hostel and it’s so fun to meet people from all over the world. If you ever have any specific questions or want advice or anything, feel free to dm me on Instagram! (@erin.olaughlin)

    Thanks for the video, it's was very informative.. can you tell me how much is the rent for such a place? I'm excited to go to UCC, but I'm afraid of the cost of living, and I have to live on a budget.

    Of course! I'm glad it was helpful. Here's the link to where I lived, which also shows costs: scholarlee.ie/Magazine-road.html I think there are cheaper places to live in Cork. I chose Scholarlee because I only wanted a 4 month lease. I'd also recommend looking into subleasing from people to find cheaper options!

    Hi! It depends on where you decide to live. My apartment was a little expensive compared to others just because I was struggling to find anything at the time. I think it was around 250 euros a week or something. I just googled short term housing in cork!
