Campus Life
UCC is more of a great campus all the lush green environment help us focus and help us modulate our tone towards nature and interaction with it. The libraries host a huge collections of books and articulated and prestigious rustic books sealed and still accessible. Wifi is bit par compared to other colleges. But a 2.4 ghz network is available throughout the college. This is due to effect of wifi bands towards the nature. As a student you have endless possibility to enroll to different sport club depending on what you prefer from sky diving, kayaking, trekking , football, cricket etc.. and college host the prestigious gym which helps train future sports stars in house.
Hostel
Student accomodation can be found around the city. And also the rental scenario is bit hectic most likely suggest to take a student accomodation or look through UCC student help center/ facebook page for student accomodation cork.
