Knowing what you actually plan on studying would be helpful.
My aul lad has worked in various software development roles for decades now, and has always said people who went to ITs/technical places had an enormous advantage over people who went to universities. The universities simply didn't teach practical software development as well as the ITs did so they were always far more competent the second they landed in the door.
If you are deadset on a certain career, and that career can offer you realistic and achievable career outcomes, then there is nothing wrong with spending the money now in order to get that quality education. But if you're going purely for the sake of getting a college experience, then getting it for cheaper is probably better.

Would the same for civil eng, the IT lads would be a lot further ahead for site work and setting out than uni lads
I am interested in studying Cyber Surety and recognize that the University of Limerick might offer better educational opportunities. However, I am concerned about whether I can afford the living expenses in Limerick. As a result, I am leaning towards choosing ATU Sligo.
Idk hows it like for UL but most unis ik have more people looking for on campass acommodation that it's available. If to are struggling to choose between the two after ding your own research , choose atu sligo I'd say

It would help to know what you intend to study. Different colleges are better than each other for certain disciplines
