Making Cents: Get the best from savings to fund college costs

Tomorrow is a big day for more than 50,000 Irish students and their families, with Leaving Cert results being issued in schools all around the country and online tomorrow morning. The majority of the class of 2019 will now move on to college and further training, an exciting but expensive time.

The Technological University Dublin (TU Dublin) released its annual Cost of Living Guide earlier this year, and put the average cost of going to college for students living away from home at a whopping €12,171 for the upcoming academic year.
