The price of on campus student accommodation is set to rise from September.
It’s due to go up by up to 4 percent in some cases – which is the maximum under rent pressure zone rules applied across the country.
DCU, UCD and NUI Galway will all apply a 4 percent increase, according to the Irish Independent.
UL will raise rent prices by between 3 to 4 percent, with a 3 percent increase in Maynooth University.
Craig McHugh Vice President of the Dublin region for the USI says student accommodation is already too expensive.
