Revealed: Irish university accommodation among most-expensive in EU and UK

University College Dublin was one of the most-expensive universities in the study.

The development of purpose-built student apartments is driving higher rents and lowering space and accommodation standards at Ireland’s universities, new research has found. 

A report, conducted by researchers at NUI Galway, found the average cost for the cheapest room in Irish university accommodation is considerably higher than in the UK and EU.
