QUIZ: Student Accommodation Or Prison Cell?

IT’S that time of the year again when we compile all your images together into a fun quiz to see if you can dicipher which is which in an ever merging world of student accommodation and prison cells.

Student Accommodation Or Prison Cell?

If you thought this first image was from a prison, look again. This rustic en-suite room-share in Templar’s Hall can be yours for just €1,600 per month. Featuring a stylish toilet-and-sink combo in the corner, a dining area you can reach without ever leaving bed, and stunning views of your neighbour’s wall, privacy is guaranteed. For added peace of mind, you’ll also have your own set of keys and hourly patrols by a Polish security guard.

Now, we know what you’re thinking: this next one must be a trick. Clearly we’re trying to deceive you into thinking it’s student accommodation when it’s actually a prison cell. And you’d be absolutely right. Or would you? Honestly, we’re not even sure ourselves – it was used in a student housing article on an Irish news site earlier today, and frankly it could be either.

If you guessed this final image was student accommodation, you’re only half correct. It’s actually a student of crime unit in an open-air prison in Wicklow. Costing nothing but your time, this cosy cell comes with free meals, board, and a guaranteed spot – as long as you continue to commit petty crimes. Perfect for young offenders hoping to get away from it all while pursuing a career in criminality, this type of accommodation is now harder to secure than actual student housing thanks to prison overcrowding. In fact, we’re told there aren’t even enough prison cells left in Ireland’s prisons anymore such is the state of living here. Marvellous.
