Home4Home has introduced a student room swap programme to address accommodation costs in Ireland. Families exchange rooms so students live in another family home during the academic year.
A student from Galway attends college in Dublin while a Dublin student stays in Galway. The model eliminates private rental needs. Typical rooms in cities such as Dublin and Cork cost around €1,000 per month.
The platform connects families across university locations including Limerick and Maynooth. Membership involves a modest annual fee. Spare bedrooms in family homes receive use through the swaps.
