[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you really certain that an EU passport entitled you to resident tuition? I believe it is common in the EU to require that the prospective student have been ordinarily resident in the EU for several years prior to entering university to qualify for that benefit. I'm sure there are many variations and nuances to any residency requirement but it's worth looking into for the particular country or universities you are targeting.[/quote]

Yes, at least for the universities of their country of citizenship, it's completely free unless it takes you longer than usual, and even then, it's really cheap.  But good point, we would definitely look into this for other EU countries.  [/quote]

Definitely varies by country/school. I’m the PP who has a kid looking at Trinity College Dublin, and you have to be an EU resident to get the reduced rates. Irish citizenship alone does not do it.[/quote]

And some places you have to actually be resident in the country, not just holding a passport because of your mom or dad.[/quote]

Right. My kid is an Irish citizen, but we live in the U.S. So if they went to TCD, they would pay the same rate as a non-citizen kid. [/quote]
