What is the monthly cost of living in Ireland for a student?
Monthly student budget, Dublin vs regional
AdmitVerse estimate, Sept 2026, built from Daft.ie rents and budget sources. Refreshed quarterly.
| Item | Dublin (€/month) | Cork, Galway, Limerick (€/month) |
|---|---|---|
| Shared room (non-PBSA) | €700–€1,100 | €550–€850 |
| Purpose-built student accommodation (PBSA) | €1,100–€1,600+ | €850–€1,200 |
| Food and groceries | €250–€400 | €250–€350 |
| Transport (Leap card student fares) | €60–€100 | €40–€70 |
| Phone and internet | €20–€40 | €20–€40 |
| Personal and miscellaneous | €100–€200 | €100–€150 |
| Total | €1,150–€1,850 | €1,000–€1,450 |
| Total in ₹ (@ ₹110) | ₹1.3 lakh to ₹2.0 lakh | ₹1.1 lakh to ₹1.6 lakh |
The total uses a shared room, not PBSA. Purpose-built student accommodation adds several hundred euro a month.
