Accommodation

Host family
The Irish are renowned for their sense of hospitality. Living with then will allow you to make rapid progress in English and to familiarise yourself with the local culture. The families are mostly situated in the south part of Dublin, just like the school. They live in residential areas, often in houses with gardens. The students stay in single rooms with half board provided.


Shared apartments
The shared apartments proposed by our IH partner school are established in the lively Smithfield area, in Dublin 7. They are located only a short walking distance from the city centre and are easily accessible by tram from the English school. Spacious and comfortably furnished, they generally consist of 4 single furnished bedrooms with a private bathroom. You will share the living room and the fully-equipped kitchen with your international flatmates. Bedlinen is provided, by you must bring your own bath towels. A WiFi connection is available free of charge in the whole apartment. A washing machine is also available for students' use at a reasonable price.

Leisure

The school offers a varied program of leisure activities that showcases the numerous riches of the Irish culture while creating an environment that is conducive to meeting other students and practising the language outside of class. Students can discover the city, which is considered to be one of Europe’s most dynamic capitals, at their own pace, with its hundreds of pubs and a rapidly expanding music scene. The contrast is even more surprising once you are outside of Dublin: the Irish countryside offers spectacular scenery, studded with legends and the magic of days gone by.
