Hello,

I recently got an offer for a PhD at UCC.

I am very interested in the project but very concerned about the financial aspects.

They told me the stipend was 22k per annum, and that their PhD students normally don't teach on the side or do anything to earn more money.

I am not from Ireland but from what I've heard, it is very difficult and expensive to find accomodations there.

I've already been living in student's rooms for three years and honestly I am quite tired of it.

So I would like the opinion of someone doing a PhD at UCC, or living in Cork.
