More students opt for UCC’s ‘dry’ apartments

Demand for booze-free housing in University College Cork has increased this year, leading to a major expansion of a student wellbeing programme.

Six people signed up for ‘dry’ apartments at the college-run Victoria Lodge student accommodation complex at Victoria Cross when the scheme was announced last year.

However, a spokesperson for UCC confirmed last night that 24 students have opted for the accommodation this year.
