Dublin City University have started a wide appeal for people to offer digs for the upcoming academic year.
The college have asked alumni if they would be able to offer a room in their home for students still without accommodation or if former students knew someone that could. In an email seen by Dublin Live, the university explained the devastating effect that the accommodation crisis was having on students.
They explained that many scholars face having to defer if they cannot find a room to sleep in. There have been nearly seven applications for each bed in the on campus accommodation complexes.
