University-managed halls run from about GBP 160/week in Belfast, GBP 140-200/week at Magee Student Village, and GBP 135-195/week at Coleraine, most bills-inclusive. Private purpose-built student accommodation near each campus typically costs GBP 145-270+/week depending on room type and location. Ulster's Accommodation Service also lists checked private landlords for students who do not secure a halls place, and applications open once an offer is confirmed.

Halls kitchens support self-catering, and campus cafes and Students' Union outlets at each site offer halal, vegetarian and vegan choices. Belfast and Derry~Londonderry city centres have South Asian, Middle Eastern and East Asian grocery stores and restaurants within walking distance of campus; Coleraine and Jordanstown have more limited specialist grocery access, with central Belfast the nearest wider option for those campuses.

Four Northern Ireland campuses each specialise: Belfast (city-centre, a 75,000m2 redevelopment completed 2022, Business School and Belfast School of Art), Coleraine (Pharmacy and Biomedical Sciences), Jordanstown (sport and built-environment labs) and Magee/Derry~Londonderry (Computing and Law, with the FinTrU Talent Hub). Around 32,000 students from over 70 countries study across the group.

Northern Ireland ranks among the lower-crime UK regions, and each Ulster campus runs 24/7 Campus Security with CCTV coverage. The International Student Advisory Service (ISAS) covers personal-safety guidance during orientation, and students can use the university's SafeZone app to reach campus security or raise a first-aid alert from any campus. ISAS supports international students from pre-arrival through graduation on visas, banking, registration and welfare matters, and runs a dedicated International Student Orientation programme each semester. The Global Buddy Scheme pairs new international arrivals with current Ulster students for regular contact via Microsoft Teams, and wellbeing, disability and careers services operate on every campus.
