Some good student accommodation providers in Belfast:
Because of the two universities in Belfast and it being a capital city, there are a lot of options when it comes to student housing.
There is more than enough for students, most students tend to start researching and searching late November and December. If you start after this, you can still book a student house.
The best places to live as a student in Belfast:
The Holylands
Lisburn Road
Ormeau Road
Botanic Avenue
Stranmillis Road
All these are based within walking distance of the universities and I would say the average rent comes out at 90-100 per week! This is not bad for being in a capital!
