Students in TUS Athlone are walking out of lectures today in protest.
It's part of the USI's national walkout where students across the country will leave their classrooms in unison at 11.30am.
The demonstration aims to highlight concerns around transport, accommodation, mental health supports and tuition fees.
A similar campaign was also carried out by the USI across college campuses in October 2022.
TUS Students Union's Vice President for Welfare Kristie Duffley says she deals with students who are sleeping on couches due to commute costs:
