Accommodation Service
The College is delighted to help you source suitable accommodation in Dublin, during your studies at CCT. This service is utilised by Irish and international full time students at the College. We can provide home stay accommodation with an Irish family which suits your needs and special requests. Staying with a locally based host-family when you come to Dublin, can help smoothen the process of moving away from home, while gaining a deeper understanding of Dublin and Irish society and culture (particularly for international students). CCT can also source and assist in securing independent student accommodation around Dublin city. The College can also arrange accommodation in student dormitories.
Airport Transfer
The warm CCT welcome can begin at Dublin airport, for our international students! We provide airport transfer to and from Ireland´s main international airport.
Counselling Service
Although college is usually quite a positive experience, sometimes you may encounter problems, pressures, and stress. CCT offers a confidential environment where students can explore personal issues they may encounter such as: relationships, family worries, homesickness, or academic stress. The Counselling service is provided by a professionally-registered counselling psychologist working as a consultant to the college.
