Accommodation Chances
Hello, I am an international (EU) student who has gotten an offer for a Master at DCU for the upcoming academic year and I'm trying to decide whether I should accept it. I really like the programme; however, I'm worried about accommodation.
I saw that DCU accommodation is not a guarantee and that Dublin has housing shortages. Additionally, if I were to accept the offer and apply for DCU accommodation, this would lock me out of my other master options, since the room allocations happen between June and July (and I would need to pay full tuition fees to the other universities before then).
Until now, I've studied in the Netherlands, where, due to the significant housing shortages, universities explicitly warn students to reconsider their studies if they can't find accommodation soon enough.
My question boils down to, is it the same in Dublin? What are the chances I am unable to proceed with my Master due to not having housing?
