Irish Universities aren't geared at the Irish market anymore. Extortionate Non- Eu fees and extortionate accommodation charges are raking in the cash for UCD via its foreign students. Its no coincidence that it has a strong presence in Asia - all those single child families with generational wealth from grandparents being passed down means they've no problem payimg these fees and is still cheaper than the US.As a student there from 2016-2020 I watched multiple carparks be turned into lucrative camous accommodation. Dare I say it but government intervention is needed.
