UCC helping to house new entrants before term starts

University College Cork has been working to accommodate or help place most of its new entrants ahead of next month’s first lectures.

It has made arrangements with a number of private student accommodation complexes to set aside spaces for incoming first-years who began the hunt for places to live after receiving offers to study at UCC yesterday.

Last year, the university registered over 3,600 new undergraduates from Ireland and other EU countries.
