Four Dublin colleges are hiking the cost of renting accommodation on campus from September.
UCD, Trinity, DCU and Griffith College will increase prices by between 3 and 13 percent.
In the case of UCD, the annual cost of taking a room at Belgrove is due to go up by 580 euro.
According to the Irish Times, the colleges say it's down to the rising cost of services and should be taken in the context of increases in the private rental market.
