A Home From Home

At The Institute of Education, we want to make sure that our students feel happy and settled in their new homes.

Whether you are looking for a supportive family environment or would prefer to live with other Institute of Education students in our dedicated student apartments, we can help you find the home from home that suits you best.

Our Student Accommodation

In partnership with Aparto, The Institute of Education’s student accommodation is located on the doorstep of Dublin’s City Centre in a modern, purpose-built residence named Binary Hub. With apartments reserved solely for our students, you won’t need to worry about making friends and finding your feet. Your classmates and our school’s resident House Parents will be with you every step of the way.

 

There are always friendly and knowledgeable staff members who are based in reception 24/7, to answer any questions or address any queries you might have. Your ensuite room will be clean, comfy and all for yourself, with a shared kitchen and living space. If you need some downtime, you can chill out in the common and games room, head to the gym, or get some fresh air in the outdoor courtyards.

Homestay

Another option for students’ accommodation while studying with us at The Institute of Education are homestays. We have links to a number of guardianship agencies who offer a variety of options for hosts to help students feel at home with a family in Dublin.

Like the families themselves, homestay accommodation is all different! Some hosts have children, pets and a full schedule of family life, while others may choose to host a single student instead. Typically, though, you can expect your own bedroom with a study desk, alongside either a shared or ensuite bathroom within the family home. As host families are usually based within the suburbs of Dublin, you will be travelling to school by bus or tram every morning.

You can be in contact directly with the agencies to find a solution that best suits your student.
