All first-year students are allocated a place in college-organised student housing located in Bunratty village close to Shannon Town. Five students share each house and each house comprises two en-suite bedrooms, one single bedroom, bathroom, deluxe kitchen, living-room and garden. In addition, leisure facilities such as swimming-pool, fully-equipped gymnasium and games room are located adjacent to the student houses and are available for students’ use.

Private rented accommodation is also available in Shannon town. Students with their own transport can also elect to live in nearby Ennis or Limerick. However, first year students are expected (depending on their age and marital circumstances) to avail of the residential accommodation, as it enables them to get to know their fellow classmates and helps them to build up a social circle of friends quickly. Adapting to life at college and the challenges of living away from home and family is made easier if students have a group of friends at college to rely on.

International students coming to Ireland as first year students on the Bachelor of Business Studies degree programme are guaranteed accommodation in college apartments.
