Dublin City University Student Union Vice President, Nathan Murphy is urging incoming students to avoid digs “with hidden costs” amid the housing crisis.
The VP for Community and Citizenship is advising students to watch out for scams and extra expenses when it comes to renting accommodation. He told Dublin Live: “If you can get it and afford it, student accommodation is better.
"With digs, you’ve to do what that person is saying to you like you’ve to be home at this time, you can’t have anyone back, we don’t want you doing this or doing that. There’s a lot of rules around it, it’s kind of like living at home with your parents.
