About

In September, the university welcomes many new students to Carlow for the first time. Many students coming to Carlow for school will be renting accommodation from landlords. As always when doing any business online, try to ensure that the source is trustworthy.

On-campus accomodation:

There is no information available for hostels and on-campus accommodations. But, the institution does have an Accommodation office that offers advice and support on accommodation issues. The institution doesn&rsquo;t itself agree with the landlord and student.

Off-campus accomodation:

There are many places around institution where the student lives during their studies. Names of some places are Arinaga, Carraig Abhainn Student Village, Green Road, College gardens, etc. You must visit and meet the landlord personally before going into any agreement and paying the rent.

Another way of finding accommodation could be through different websites. These websites can be found through local newspapers.
