It comes as round 1 CAO offers were released yesterday.
Higher Education Minister and Kildare North TD James Lawless has said he will do more in the upcoming budget to financially support college students.
It comes as round 1 CAO offers were released yesterday, and many will already have begun looking for accommodation before the offers came out.
Speaking yesterday, he said that his intention is to make college "as affordable as possible" and to prevent money being an education barrier.
However, he accepted that it would be a "tough budget" this year and that he will work with the funding made available to him and his Department.
Minister Lawless had also urged people to consider renting a spare room in their house as the new college year begins.
Eligible homeowners can earn up to €14,000 tax-free while students, or their parents, can avail of a rent tax credit of up to €2,000 per year, something only 45% of digs students were aware of.
