The university is nice but experience may widely depend on the course you take.
Tips: The University of Limerick offers plenty of opportunities for students to grow and experience international life. However, most of the courses are only one year long, and the content is very condensed. This makes for a lot of stress, as students try to cover a huge amount of material in a short amount of time. Additionally, living on campus is expensive.
Likes (Safety): The University of Limerick has good safety measures on campus, and the public is generally safe. There is no violence or evident racism, but kids of a certain age outside the university can be troublesome. Otherwise, I felt safe almost everywhere I went.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): The University of Limerick offers very nice job opportunities, but mostly for experienced people in certain domains. They accept only 30% of immigrants in corporations, and it is difficult to get my resume shortlisted. The long interview processes in general do not prefer students holding stamp 2 or stamp 1G visas.

Thriving campus life and supportive community at UL.
Tips: 1. Campus Life: UL has a large, beautiful campus with modern facilities. There are plenty of places to study, hang out, and enjoy nature, like the River Shannon and Plassey Bridge. 2. Student Accommodation: There are on-campus and off-campus housing options. On-campus accommodation can fill up quickly, so apply early. Off-campus housing is also available but may need more research to find a good spot. 3. Clubs and Societies: UL has many clubs and societies for sports, hobbies, and interests. Joining them is a great way to make friends and learn new skills outside of classes. 4. Library and Study Space: The UL library is a great place for studying and research. You can also find quiet rooms or group study areas around campus. 5. Support Services: UL offers help for students, including academic support, mental health services, and career guidance. Don't hesitate to ask for help if you need it. 6. Transport: There are buses to and from Limerick city, but many students prefer to walk or cycle around the campus. It's easy to get around UL by bike or on foot. 7. Weather: The weather can be unpredictable. Make sure to have a good raincoat and warm clothes, especially in winter. 8. International Community: UL has students from all over the world, making it a diverse place. Be open to meeting people from different cultures. 9. Work Opportunities: UL offers part-time job opportunities on campus, like in restaurants or administration, to help students earn some extra money. 10. Orientation: UL runs an orientation week for new students. This helps you get familiar with the campus, meet fellow students, and learn about services. It's a good idea to attend this.
Likes (Student Life): I rated 4 on Student Life because the University of Limerick offers a vibrant and diverse campus experience. There are plenty of activities and opportunities for students to get involved in, from sports and fitness to various clubs and societies that cater to different interests. Whether you enjoy music, drama, outdoor activities, or something more academic, there's likely a society for you. The campus itself is large and scenic, with lots of green space, the beautiful River Shannon, and modern facilities that create a welcoming environment for students. UL's student community is also very friendly and inclusive, with students from all over the world, making it easy to meet people from different backgrounds. Additional, the university organizes events throughout the year, such as cultural festivals, concerts, and social gatherings, which make student life exciting and dynamic. The only reason I didn't give a perfect score is that while there is a lot to do, some services or activities can get crowded or competitive due to high demand. Nonetheless, overall student life at UL is lively and offers a great balance of academic and social experiences.
Dislikes (Internships): I rated 3 for internships because, for masters students, the process of finding and applying for internships is primarily self-driven. You are responsible for searching for relevant opportunities, submitting applications, and going through the interview processes independent. While the university does provide some guidance, such as career fair, workshops, and resume-building sessions, the bulk of the effort fall on the student. This can be challenging, especially for international students who may not be as familiar with the local job market or hiring processes. In contrast, for Bachelors students at the University of Limerick, the internship process is more structured and supported by the university. The university Cooperative Education programme helps match students with potential employers, simplifying the process significantly. For Bachelors students, the university takes an active role in facilitating internship placements, providing a more seamless and guided experience. Overall, the internships available can be relevant to your field of study, but the level of support and ease of finding one depends largely on whether you're a Bachelors or masters student. For masters students, while there are opportunities, you must be proactive and prepared to handle the application process independent.

A University for the Integration of everything together.
Tips: I see that the Irish people talk too fast as it takes quite a time to understand their language. Similarly, people from other native English-speaking countries talk in a certain manner so in this scenario try to make local English-speaking friends and try to talk to them as much as possible so that you will learn how to carry out a conversation. If you apply for UL it will automatically check and grant you a scholarship of 1500 Euros. I love Ireland, and I would love it more once I get a full-time job. The University is also amazing, it has a lot to do. However, I feel the course I completed didn't help me learn anything. I also feel somewhere that I won't get a job for the Data Scientist position perhaps I will get one for my previous experiences.
Likes (Student Life): UL is full of fun, more than studies you will get to see something exciting every day on the campus. It is full of events and celebrations. The Post-graduation Student Union (PSU) is my favourite part here. They keep on organizing different events every other day on campus. There is a humongous group of societies that UL offers. It has every type of society of all interests. If a student is more of an extra-curricular person I recommend them to be a part of UL.
Dislikes (Quality of faculty): The faculty does not play a vital role in a student's journey here. The student has to decide their own future. No doubt the professor will always be at your back to answer any of your questions, but one should not expect spoon feeding from them. Most of the teaching methodologies here would be a combination of assignments, exams, projects, group projects, reports etc. The classes take place at the professor's convenience online or offline, some of the professors adopt a dynamic kind of teaching methodology where they only clear doubts of the students in the class and ask students to go through the notes at home. Most of the teachers here are Irish, and some of them belong to different countries such as Korea, Russia etc.

One of the best universities in Ireland in terms of research in English and medical devices.
Tips: Students should have some prior experience in their respective fields if they want to come to Ireland. The weather in Ireland is very unpredictable so better prepare yourself for the wind and cold weather. There are many people from India coming to Ireland so you will find some shops with Indian masala and food. The Irish culture is very warm and welcoming so you will like the people of this country. I did not get any scholarship and my classmates got a maximum of 1500 Euros as a scholarship on their total tuition fees. The University gives it to the student while applying and the criteria are the students should get at least 65% marks in their previous graduation. I'm very satisfied with the university, course and country as this country has all the necessary things that you need while staying here.
Likes (Public transportation): Public transportation is very frequent and the students here get an extra discount on these buses. You just have to get your leap card from the university. There are several buses between the university and the city centre. Majorly, bus numbers 304, 304a and 310 are buses which I usually take. For students, these buses are very cheap, hence affordable and convenient. Most of the students here purchase a bicycle from the store and use it to travel. The university also provides bicycles for certain prices. But these are very cheap as compared to other retail shops.
Dislikes (Part time work): We do get part-time opportunities on-campus in the form of Lab assistant or Teaching assistant. We also have the option to work in a campus store with different job roles. If I talk about off-campus, there are several part-time opportunities, like working in bars, stores, etc. You just have to make your part-time resume and deliver it to the store managers. We are only allowed to work for 20 hours per week, which helps us to not indulge in part-time jobs and concentrate on our studies. We get free time in the afternoon to do our studies. Average part-time jobs will get you a minimum of 12 Euros.

Good and friendly university.
Tips: The university is good, studies are more application and research-oriented, and there are a lot of assignments and projects. Overall, the course is good, and people are friendly. The weather is bad, gloomy, cold and sometimes depressing. You can find crimes happening in Limerick City, but the campus is safe.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty members are specialized in their fields and have relevant experience. They are easy to approach, and the teaching methodology is mostly research and application-oriented. Exams are less important than projects. If your course is technical, then you will be studying with mostly 95% Indian or South Asian students.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are very limited vegetarian food options available if you are planning to eat outside. And eating outside is not affordable. There are a lot of options available in terms of restaurants for eating outside, mostly non-vegetarian food. A full meal can cost at least 10 Euros.

One of the best university with highly talented and knowledgeable faculty.
Tips: Students should know what they are getting into before they come to this college. They should know what they are going to study and where they are going to live. The accommodation is very bad, so you need to book your accommodation before you come to college. You also need to know what you are going to study. You must know these things before you come to college.
Likes (Part time work): Part-time jobs are easily available. You can get a part-time job whenever you want, and it's very easy to get a job. They all need students for part-time jobs, and you can work here and earn good money, like 1000 per month while working 80 hours per month.
Dislikes (Internships): Internships are very low because the university does not provide any internships. If you want to do an internship, you have to find one yourself. The university will only provide the title of the internship, but nothing else.
