"Feels like Ireland is going to be worse than Canada."—
Indian students are now advising other Indians not to move to Ireland.Complaints in a
reddit thread for Indian students highlight high rents, exorbitant living costs, scarce part-time jobs, and sluggish transport, compounded by rising anti-immigrant sentiment as overcrowding strains resources. Another complaint warns of limited opportunity to interact with non-Indians as Indians dominate computer science courses:
🔹 "Accommodation: Very hard to find and way too expensive.(min 500 euro for a shared space+ bills)"
🔹 "Part time work: there is literally nothing available. Nothing!! Even those who have been working for 6-7 months are laid off all of a sudden..saying there is no demand."
🔹 "Cost of living: Groceries: are fine, affordable i guess but everything else is expensive, even gum. There are very few things that u can buy for a euro or less. Onions maybe. Forget about eating out, nothing compares in taste and waste of money."
🔹 "It is a slow phased life here. Public transport is slow basically everything is slow.All shops starts to close by 5, not much place to hang after that.."
🔹 "I feel stuck here, there is only so much to do and so much to go. When i talk to my friends in other countries, things seem to be better for them."
🔹 "Feels like Ireland is going to be worse than Canada. All of a sudden, in the past few years, these immigration agents have sent thousands of Indian students to Ireland promising them all sorts of things. They are letting people in like there is no tomorrow, and the biggest source of international students is India."
🔹 "This is a small country with a population of around 50 lakhs, with the housing, infrastructure and jobs to support that population. If all of a sudden thousands of Indians pour in, where will the jobs come from?"
🔹 "On top of all this, immigration is also at an all time high. Resentment against migrants is slowly rising among the locals, as they feel the rising costs and increased competition for low wage jobs."
🔹 "interacting and experiencing different backgrounds students does not exist if you are choosing cs related courses. (Iykyk). There isnt much happening."
🔹 "Ireland is way too expensive, do not even try."
