One of the biggest concerns of an exchange student when choosing Ireland, and especially its capital Dublin, is the cost of living in the city.\u00a0Like any European capital, Dublin has all the attributes of a great metropolis. With one of the world’s highest average salaries, the cost, and quality of life in the Irish capital is something totally fair and acceptable.<\/p>\n

We listed some of the essential expenses that an average student has when they start living in Dublin. Check out below:<\/p>\n

Rent:<\/h3>\n

This is the most expensive of all. The prices around the city center are expensive for everybody, it doesn’t matter if you a student or a local. Depending on the place, you will have to spend around \u20ac 350 plus the bills. So in total, it will variate between \u20ac 380 – \u20ac 390. A very good option is to find a place out of the city center where the prices are not so expensive. But, you will have to walk a lot or ride a bike.<\/p>\n

Food:<\/h3>\n

Surprisingly good-quality food in Ireland is not expensive at all and very accessible to an average student. With a budget of\u00a0\u20ac 80 per month (\u20ac 20 euro per week), you can have some good meals, eating vegetables, meat, delicacies etc. without spending a lot. You can have a variety of dishes if you plan and take advantage of some\u00a0good prices that the local supermarkets will offer you, especially Audi, Lidl, and Tesco.<\/p>\n

Internet:<\/h3>\n
