Would you recommend it?
Housing is extremelyhard to find in Ireland and in Limerick, so if this housing is avaliable (it's a lottery system) I would take it without hesitation.
What are some top bars, clubs, or events you recommend?
Best parties: Latin Party in Molly's bar; international night on friday at Stables club (bar of the University); Good places to go: Iconn (most famous club); Hunter's sports bar, Locke bar
Which classes do you recommend… or not?
As a international business major I would recommand the finances classes, change management classes. I wouldn't recommand the international management and marketing classes because i believe they are not the most useful
Do you have some tips?
The campus was amazing, the infrastructures looked fairly new. Student life was great, the Irish people are lovely and the registration vas extremely easy. Only downsides would be the weather and the food but you really get used to it. If I had to choose again i would 100% go tho the same uni.
Best trips to do?
Tramore (Waterford): you can go there have swim and enjoy a Dooly's fish and chips afterwards; Galway; Tipperary (if you want to see the real ireland).
What do you absolutely need to know to live your best life in Limerick?
As students the campus was located around 35 minutes by bus from the city of limerick so we weren't there all the time. However it is important to know that the public transportation isn't the most reliable and the city can be a bit sketchy at night
Obviously try Guinness

In Dromroe, on campus
How can someone find this place?

Would you recommend it?
Yes, it is a great place, a little bit expensive. Dromroe and Cappavilla are the best villages in UL.
What are some top bars, clubs, or events you recommend?
The bar on campus is nice. In the city there is several nightclubs but it is pretty dead during the weekend when the Irish are not here. A lot of great places to eat in Limerick.
Which classes do you recommend… or not?
The business school classes were fine. Some are more interesting than others but overall the teachers are dedicated and interesting.
Do you have some tips?
The campus is very big and beautiful. It is surrounded by nature and you can take a lot of little walks all around campus. The registration is pretty easy, and the school reply fast. I would choose Limerick over and over again. It is a great university with a great erasmus program, so there is a lot of international students from all over the world.
Best trips to do?
The university organise trips all over Ireland for international students. It's a great opportunity to discover places with school friends. There is an airport in Limerick but it is pretty small. Buses from Limerick can go all over the country. There is a bus going directly from the University to Dublin and Dublin Airport. it's very practical.
What do you absolutely need to know to live your best life in Limerick?
Always have an umbrella on you just in case.
The University of Limerick is a great experience with a lot of things to do if you are motivated !

Would you recommend it?
Good housing experience, but in Ireland you don't have much choices because of the Housing crisis.
What are some top bars, clubs, or events you recommend?
Good social life if you want to, you can make friends at sport, class, lot of societies. Events organized by the school are huge (concerts, night parties at bars...) outside the Uni, some clubs exists in town, but in Ireland everything close pretty early (2am-3am).
Which classes do you recommend… or not?
Finance. But it remain international, with only 10-15 hours per weeks, and the learning level is not really high. I worked on my side to have financial certifications and go beyond the courses to gain experiences.
Do you have some tips?
Campus is crazy, extremely big. Sports facilites are incredible (50, 25m pool, gym, tennis, athletic, rugby, basket... courts. registration easy and they always make sure that you are following well.
Best trips to do?
Discover Ireland is cheap and the countryside' are crazy. If you love trail / running / hiking / cycling you can do a lot. You are 1,5 hours from Dublin airport; HQ of Ryanair so you can fly in all Europ!
What do you absolutely need to know to live your best life in Limerick?
Not the most crazy city, but going in Dublin is cool and not that far.
take a rain jacket and sports clothes.
