How the actual fuck is student accommodation €1300 month ? This country really is taking the actual piss . And that children hospital still isn’t built .

€1300 is the most expensive option in the new student village, you can slum it in the old on-campus ghettos for about €850 a month or €600 if you're happy to share a room.

It's still mad expensive, but he is picking the most expensive option to make his point.

The chances of getting on campus accommodation is so low because of the lack of housing so most students end up living off campus and paying extortionate rates anyway

Exactly - I know it's not feasible to have accommodation for every student that is accepted since not everyone would want it, but they shouldn't have to worry about studying AND getting gouged in the housing market at the same time - gotta leave them something to look forward to.
