Jordanstown On Campus Accommodation
Jordanstown is the largest of the University’s four campuses, and has the largest number of students. It has excellent sporting and recreational facilities, as well as having an on-site supermarket, banks and snack bars, etc. Nearby, there are additional local shops and pubs in Whiteabbey Village, plus a more extensive choice of retail outlets at the Abbey Centre and in Carrickfergus. As Belfast is so close to campus, the entertainment and shopping attractions of Northern Ireland’s Capital City are also readily accessible.
An ambitious redevelopment programme for student housing is well underway, and will culminate in the provision of new ensuite bedrooms to complement the extensive academic facilities already provided. The new accommodation will provide residents with a higher level of comfort, amenity and privacy, as well as being internet-enabled. In 2008/09, it is likely that there will be a degree of disruption during this redevelopment process, but this should not interfere too much with the normal life of the campus.

Courtyard Apartments
The courtyard apartments offer a high standard of space and privacy.Within the courtyard, apartments/flats will have access to unlimited broadband through the university network.
Six or nine residents share an apartment, with individual study bedrooms that contain wash-hand basins and built in wardrobes, as well as study desks and chairs. The courtyard complex is mostly reserved for Final Year and international students.
2 Person Courtyard Flats
Two person ground floor flats are located within the courtyard complex. Each has a large bedroom, suitable for single resident or two sharing. There is a large living/study room with kitchen/dinette and storage/study space. Deck access showers are fitted as standard. The flats offer a greater degree of privacy than other accommodation, and would suit more mature students, couples, or perhaps a student with a young child. No cleaning is carried out by UU staff. The Courtyard complex is just a short walk to the main campus buildings.
Dalriada Student Village (DSV)
Phase 1 of DSV opened in February 2008, and replaced the former Student Village at Jordanstown.The accommodation is mostly in the form of 5 person apartments, clustered around three attractive courtyards with on-site parking facilities.In addition, there is a small convenience store and self-service launderette, as well as administration offices.The site is just five minutes walk from the main University buildings.
Each study bedroom has an ensuite shower, and residents share a communal kitchen/living room.All study bedrooms are internet-enabled as part of the fees package, and there is also provision to add internet phone and TV at additional cost.
Within some of the apartment blocks, there are enhanced bedrooms which offer a greater degree of space for study and storage, and would suit mature/postgraduate students who may need more elbow room.
Integrated within the complex are a number of specially adapted rooms for students with special mobility requirements.If you think you may need one of these, you should contact the Residential Services office and the University’s Disability Advisor well in advance of your anticipated arrival.
