Published 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Description
Clare's closest University towns have ranked as some of the most expensive in the country for students.
A new report from switcher.ie found rent in Limerick and Galway were the fifth and sixth highest in the country respectively.
Both cities saw a 5% increase in the annual costs of everyday expenses, with students living in Limerick paying €16,520 a year, while those in Galway faced annual costs of €16,064.
TUS Midwest Student President, Emma Hogan, says Clare students are opting out of going college due to being unable to afford it.
