Cork Surpasses Dublin as Ireland’s Second Most Expensive Student City | Ireland News

Cork has become Ireland’s second most expensive city for students, with an average annual cost of over €17,500 — a steep climb from last year. While Dublin still tops the list at nearly €20,000, Cork’s students are paying around €1,667 monthly for rent, bills, food, transport, and fun — even after factoring in the student contribution fee. Accommodation alone eats up €725 a month, and rising rents are squeezing budgets. The gap between Dublin and budget-friendly Letterkenny? Nearly €6,000 per year. As costs soar, higher education feels increasingly out of reach for many students and families. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
