Belfast, home to Queen's University Belfast, is one of the most dynamic small cities in Europe, full of youthful, optimistic energy. In recent years, the city has been transformed by world class developments, including the £100 million Odyssey complex, new galleries and retail centres.
Lifestyle magazines have described Belfast as “Europe’s friendliest and trendiest regional capital”. “a sexy city buzzing with life” and as “ one of today’s most fashionable places to visit and live”
The main University campus is the size of a small town, situated within three designated conservation areas, making walking or cycling around the area a very pleasant experience. Within walking distance of Queen’s are numerous shops, cafes and restaurants, Botanic Gardens, the Ulster Museum, the Grand Opera House and the Lyric Theatre, the Physical Education Centre and many other useful facilities.

The city and the University have the second biggest arts festival in the UK. The city based University campus lies within a 15 minute walk of the city centre and major transport facilities.

Travel to and from Belfast is remarkably easy and efficient. There are many inexpensive flights connecting Belfast with most major UK cities, especially London and a range of European cities, including Paris, Amsterdam, Barcelona and Prague. Plus there are extensive ferry, bus and train connections.

Not only is Queen's University Belfast accommodation among the best and most modern in the UK and Ireland, but it is also very competitively priced.

The university has recently invested almost £45 million in providing excellent accommodation facilities at the Elms Student Village. Rooms are extremely competitive and offer great value for money. Standard rooms cost £72per week (including internet access) and en-suite rooms (including internet access) £86per week.

There are over 2,000 places available, in self-catered and standard or en-suite single study bedrooms. Preference is given to first year students, students with disabilities or international students at Queen's University Belfast.
