Dublin is expensive but English-speaking, walkable, and your gateway to the rest of the EU. The climate is mild and rainy year-round, the Leap Card covers buses, the DART, and two Luas tram lines, and Ireland's minimum wage covers rent and groceries with some margin.

WHERE TO LIVE
North side or south side?
Dublin has three broad zones for international students. Where you land depends on your budget and how close to class you want to be.
City centre (D1 / D2)
Temple Bar · Docklands · Grafton Street. From €750/month. Walking distance to most English schools, Trinity, and the city's pubs and tech offices.
South side (D4 / D6)
Ballsbridge · Rathmines · Ranelagh · Rathgar. From €650/month. Student-heavy, walkable or short tram to school, the biggest international flatmate density.
Coast (DART line)
Dun Laoghaire · Sandymount · Howth. From €600/month. Coastal walks, sea swims, 25-minute DART into the centre.

Work
Among Europe's highest wages
Many of the world's biggest tech companies have their European headquarters in Dublin. Most international students start out in hospitality, retail or customer support. That said, Ireland's minimum wage is one of the highest in the EU.
LIFESTYLE
Pints, parks, and weekend flights
Dublin is small enough to walk across in an afternoon. Phoenix Park is one of the biggest urban parks in Europe, Trinity sits in the centre, and most European capitals are a 2-hour flight away
Community
Easy to fit in
Dublin's classes are full of international students from across Europe, South America, and Asia. Irish people are famously chatty: at the pub, at the bus stop, in the queue. You'll find your people fast.
