Magee: Duncreggan Student Village & Coppin House

Duncreggan is the larger 'village' style residence, located around a 5 minute walk from the campus. It is broken up into Phase I and Phase II, being the older and newer buildings respectively. Phase I (the darker coloured buildings at the entrance) are organised in in apartment style settings, with a few bedrooms sharing a bathroom, kitchen and living room. These rooms are generally cheaper than the ones in the Phase II buildings, because Phase II rooms are ensuite and in theory slightly larger to begin with (because the rooms don't share a living room, only a large dining kitchen). Phase II also offers even larger sized rooms with roll out beds that essentially make your single bed a double. These are the most expensive type of room.

Coppin House is on the Strand Road (on the opposite side to Sainsbury's but slightly closer to campus than that). These are perhaps the least impressive rooms that Magee has to offer! Parking at Coppin is extremely limited.

Finding a house share is very easy in Derry, try www.daft.ie and there are always a lot of posters up in the streets around campus. Privately owned halls are run by SHAC and are located in Rock Mills (at the bottom of the hill when you come out of Magee), and additional smaller halls not far from Coppin House.
