    My tips would be

    1. find out the policy regarding starting in your college and susi. Some colleges allow you to commence your studies without paying fees upfront while you are waiting on susi. I would also advise you to confirm confirmed what your fees will be (you may know this already)
    2. find out if your college has any financial aid available that you could possibly apply for. Make sure you apply asap if you are eligible
    3. make sure you claim all social welfare entitlements that you are entitled to

    hope this helps
