Personal comments
was kind of a student village (400 students in 70 houses). heating and electricity was included in price. all houses were mixed with irish and foreign students, so it was a good opportunity to come in touch with other people and cultures.

Personal comments
It is a good idea to open a bank account in AIB or Bank of Ireland. There are interesting offers for University of Limerick students.
ISIC card is useful to get travel discounts as well.

Why?
I prefer to live on-campus because the major part of your student life takes place near or on the campus.

The university has a very large target of studies. You have everything in the campus, it is not necessary to have a car. The only thing is that you have to be patient for the bus...

My experience was wonderfull. I keep a nice memory of this experience and I would love to do it again! Moreover, in two years I got the opportunity to know the Irish culture and the people, and I can say that Irish people have the hurt in the hand... They are very nice, openminded, etc. Finally, I met lots of different people and I'm still in touch with many of them... That's great!!!
