Data on the average annual cost of living for higher education students is not collected annually. The main source of data is the Eurostudent Survey, conducted by the Higher Education Authority.

The second survey in the series, published in 2005, indicates that the average monthly expenditure (excluding tobacco, alcohol and entertainment) incurred by a student residing at home was €340 and €672 for those living away from home.
