Amazing study abroad experience!

Studying at the University of Limerick (or UL for short) is an unforgettable experience. The campus buildings, layout, and facilities are top-notch. Lots of greeneries and open spaces, conducive for studying. The classes are structured & organized, and the lecturers were accommodating of their students.

UL provides a diverse environment for learning and socializing, especially with lots of international students arriving each semester and the wide array of clubs & societies that you can join.

One thing I really like is the International Office Team! My student's cohort was managed by the Study Abroad Team, and they are the ultimate reasons why my study in UL was so smooth. They are so kind, helpful, fast response, and go to great lengths to help the students. They:
• helped us prepare our study visa
• answered each of our queries in a timely manner
• helped us secure student accommodations
• set up administration appointments for us when we need it
• arranged free trips for us
• helped us set up a local bank account
• organized dinners/lunch, helping us meet and socialize with fellow international students
• provided virtual reception for us to drop in and ask questions we might have
• set up virtual meetings to answer our queries or brief us on important information
• reminded us of events going on in Limerick and Ireland
• arranged bus transport to pick us up from and to Dublin Airport
• and many, many more!

In short, they provided assistance from the beginning of our pre-departure until our last minute in Ireland. As an international student, it’s important to have people you can go to for questions, especially if you’re from a faraway country and have lots to acclimatize to. The Study Abroad/International Office Team has been a great help during my stay in Ireland. They went to a great length to help the students, and I can’t thank them enough for that. No wonder UL was voted for the Best Student Experience; they really live up to the title!

All in all, studying at UL as an international student was highly satisfying. Before this, I’d always had doubts about continuing to a master's degree, but after finishing my student exchange in UL, it cemented my decision to take a master's degree someday.

I can confidently say that doing a student exchange at UL does change my life for the better. The four months I spent in UL have easily been the best time of my life. If you’re looking for an authentic study abroad experience, I really recommend this university! 😊
