    What budget do you have? What college are you going to? Why is the current place stressing you out?

    The image is too blurry to see anything clearly, OP.

    You're not going to get a studio apartment for anything like what you are paying now. Are you living with the owner?

    When you say temporary accommodation, what do you mean? Were you placed there by a local authority or a charity in lieu of longer term housing?

    Or have you a lease from a private landlord yourself on a short term let? Because these are two very different things.

    why are you living in one of the most expensive areas in Dublin if you're in college in Bray? Move somewhere out near Bray. And look at an apartment share like most other single people get.
