J1Accom Opening for 2024 applications in February

Who we are

We are an Irish company which provides summer accommodation for Irish students in American cities such as Chicago, San Fransisco, New York and Boston. We have access to hundreds of beds in college dormitories which we let from May to August.
Our tribe of J1ers living together on campus in a communal setting creates a buzzing atmosphere. The J1 cultural exchange visa to America will open many doors for you and we will make that journey a whole lot easier and safer for you.
What's more, you can benefit from staying within our community.

What we do

We take a whole building and use it solely for Irish students. We act as a middle man between American universities and Irish students. We handle all contracts and registration for taxes, utilities, landlord leases and credit checks. We cater for groups of all sizes and will find the best apartment to suit your needs. Read our blogs to find out about our culture.

Applications for Chicago and Berkeley now closed. New York opening in March. Keep an eye out for when we reopen the application process for all the same locations plus hopefully some new cities. Follow our Instagram for most up to date information.

Why choose us

We have first-hand experience of the difficulties faced by J1 students because we’ve been there before and we’ve learned the hard way. By providing affordable accommodation in a great location, we give J1 students the experience of a lifetime within our community.

How you benefit

Instead of staying in a costly hostel for weeks and not being able to start your job and earn money, you can move into a safe and affordable house the day you arrive and stay where the craic is. There is no 12 month contracts or credit score checks, just hassle free accommodation in the best locations and with groups of Irish J1ers that you can mix with to give yourself the ultimate launch pad for the summer of a lifetime.
