Cost of Living for Students<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ireland is a fairly small country and as such, the further away you get away from the city centres, the cost of living goes down as well. It?s a laid-back country which allows you to enjoy a balanced lifestyle. The cost of living is slightly above the average for Europe, but only by a small margin. Average costs of living in some prominent Irish cities including accommodation are:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dublin ? EUR 1,100 ? EUR 1,800 per month?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cork ? EUR 860 ?

Institutions of higher education usually offer students a place to stay in residence halls which on average cost around EUR 200 ? 300 per month. These halls are well furnished and designed to provide maximum comfort to the students living in them, they are also a good way for international students to get to know their fellow students. If you are unable to find accommodation in the residence hall of your institution, you can also rent\/share an apartment or live in a homestay. The main accommodation prices for students in Ireland are:?<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Student living independently: EUR 427 per month?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Student living with partner\/child: EUR 470 per month?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Students living on campus: EUR 300-600 per month?<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Utilities: EUR 130 per month<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Internet: up to EUR 60 per month?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Food costs for a month aren?t high and average out to around EUR 250 per month for groceries.

Students get the benefit of discounts if they use special cards or services designed specifically for them. A monthly pass for public transport will cost you around EUR 50-55 per month, with a student discount. However, the most popular mode of transportation is the bicycle. You can rent a bike to get around the city; the prices start from EUR 20 per day.?<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>REGISTER TODAY TO MAKE A GREAT CAREER IN IRELAND!<a href=\"https:\/\/admission.buddy4study.com\/login?utm_source=Article&amp;utm_medium=WebRegister\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-907 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/buddy4study.s3.amazonaws.com\/study-abroad\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/19181739\/LOGIN-REGISTER.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"435\" height=\"80\" srcset=\"\/\/buddy4study.s3.amazonaws.com\/study-abroad\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/19181739\/LOGIN-REGISTER.png 435w, \/\/buddy4study.s3.amazonaws.com\/study-abroad\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/19181739\/LOGIN-REGISTER-300x55.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 435px) 100vw, 435px\" \/><\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #993366;\"><b>Why study in Ireland ?
