    Any estimates on the % of undergraduate students in TCD who are ordinarily resident in the US and UK?

    I am estimating based on the number in Starbucks on Dawson Street the percentage in BESS JF alone is probably 20%.

    I presume these empirically observed high percentages are a policy of TCD to make up shortfalls in funding.

    Not that many, I'd expect. Definitely under 10%, I'd say, maybe under 5%. They aren't nearly as common a sight at the east end of campus as they are in the Arts block.

    Well not UK students, as a member state of the EU we pay the same as you do.

    Good point. Are there free fees in the UK? I am guessing there not are some given by reports from NI: http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/ireland/2011/0909/1224303759370.html

    I've never heard anyone call it the arts building.

    Fun fact: The NI library board (or something like that) pays for NI students' reg fee when they study in the Republic.
