As the academic year comes around again, a lack of accommodation options has left university students scrambling to find a place to live during their studies.
The Irish Times reports this morning that University College Dublin has the State’s most expensive on-campus room again in 2025/26 as students face waiting lists in many places amid the annual rush to secure accommodation.
The university with the second highest top-end on-campus accommodation cost is Trinity College Dublin, with prices starting at €6,066 and rising to €10,085.
Dublin City University charges between €6,035 and €6,872, while TU Dublin does not have any on-campus student accommodation.
