Accommodation
IADT currently does not have any on campus accomodation.
However, we provide information to students on where to find accommodation and maintain a database of local landlords who have properties, room and digs to let.
Most students prefer to rent an apartment or a house which can found in our database of accomodation. While some prefer the relative quiet and homely comforts of lodging with a family, commonly referred to as digs. IADT holds both a list of accommodation for rent and of families who offer bed, breakfast and evening meal on either a five or seven day week. .
To review the list please visit the Student link across or click here
Below is a guide to average costs (based on year 2010-11 prices) for different accommodation options:
B&B
€85 single for five days; €100 single for seven days Full Board
