It comes as AMLÉ say 1 in 8 students in TUS are relying on digs.
Students' Unions are continuing to run 'Digs Drives' across the country.
They're calling on residents near colleges and universities to offer a room in their home to a student for the academic year.
According to AMLÉ,formerly the USI, 1 in 8 students at the TUS are relying on digs, while at DCU 62% of students are working more than 11 hours a week and can't cover their weekly costs.
The body says students are missing out on some of the most valuable aspects of their college years due to the rent crisis.
Dara Lenihan, President of TUS Athlone Students' Union, says the public shouldn't have to be relied on to accomodate students:
