Where do these figures come from?

This is an estimate: it starts from Eurostat price indices (2024) for rent, food, transport and leisure in Ireland, adjusted for city size and checked against Numbeo (2026-09) and the European Commission's Erasmus student survey. Think of a shared flat and cooking at home. It is not a market price and does not include flights or your home university fees.

    Experiencias Erasmus Dublín

    It compiles more than 30 testimonials and reviews from Spanish and international university students who completed their stay in Dublin between 2017 and 2024. The authors celebrate the warmth of the Irish people, the musical atmosphere in traditional pubs, and the nightlife options in venues such as Dicey's or The River Bar. However, they unanimously and strictly warn about the severe housing crisis, the exorbitant rental prices (rarely below 800-1000 euros per room), and the frequent scam attempts on real estate portals. The page offers an excellent practical perspective on urban survival, although it does not delve into the validation of study plans.

    Foro Erasmus Dublín, Irlanda | Erasmusu.com

    A very active discussion community structured around annual calls ranging from 2019 to the 2026/2027 cohorts. Practically all of the messages reflect collective anxiety over the shortage of accommodation, organizing shared searches for Trinity College, UCD, and DCU months in advance. Inquiries abound regarding the real monthly cost of the shopping basket at chains like Lidl or Tesco, the processing of the PPS Number to work part-time, and the creation of WhatsApp groups. It is the most faithful thermometer of pre-trip preparation, although many arrangements end up being redirected to private messaging channels.
