The Leaving Cert results are out and with the first round of CAO offers to follow on Wednesday, for many youngsters it is time to start thinking about their third level education.
While it will be next week before offers to attend ITs, colleges and universities are extended, the journey to take the next step in their education is already underway.
One of the biggest challenges many families face at this time of year is finding rental accommodation close to their college of choice.
With many courses often four years long, some families even decide to invest in property near to where their loved ones are studying to ensure they have somewhere guaranteed to stay and a valuable asset at the end of their education to either sell on or rent out.
With that in mind, MyHome has decided to put together a list of five of the top properties for sale near five of Ireland’s biggest colleges and universities.
