College students say the chronic shortage of accommodation in Dublin means they need homeowners to rent out spare rooms.
A number of student unions have joined forces in a 'Digs Drive', to encourage people to consider the idea.
They've been handing out leaflets at Connolly Station in Dublin this morning, and will do so again this evening at Tara and Pearse Street Stations.
President of UCD Students' Union, Miranda Bauer says college is about more than an education
"Students who study in Dublin and have to commute, many, many long hours, they don't get to have the full college experience. And that doesn't just mean, of course, studying, but also, that means being able to network, socialize, and a lot of the learning that happens in a university that doesn't just happen in the classroom"
