My life in a home away from home
Tips: There is a bit of a cultural shift, but that is the case when you are going abroad to study; other than that, it is a good experience. I did not avail myself of any scholarships, but it was still easy to get going with my studies. In all regards, I am very satisfied with my experience at UL.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Faculty gets a high rating because the professors at UL are genuinely approachable and down-to-earth. You can drop into their office hours or drop them an email without feeling like a burden. On top of that, they bring in guest lecturers who actually work in the industry, which gives you real-world context instead of just textbook theory. Having supportive tutors and industry-active speakers makes a huge difference in how much you actually take away from the course.
Dislikes (Indian Food): The city is filled with all kinds of delicacies. I am a fan of trying foods from all over the globe, and Limerick did not disappoint, but Indian food is mostly available in a few spots around town, and it is different from your home food. I prefer to cook my own meals, but during classes you do not always have the time, which leads to me eating at the various restaurants on campus.

Bachelor of Business Studies - Batch of 2027
Offered by University of Limerick
3.5
Fun, student friendly and sport oriented university.
Tips: It’s a big campus; be ready to walk. The campus is beautiful, though, and has a lot of activities to do on campus. Make sure to join a lot of clubs and societies. The university staff is supportive and friendly; staying on campus is recommended. There are a lot of food places on campus as well.
Likes (Value for money): Giving UL top marks for value for money comes down to how much further your euro stretches here compared to Dublin. While housing across Ireland is competitive, rent in Limerick—especially around Castletroy, Plassey, or Milford—is significantly more reasonable than Dublin's crazy prices. You aren't burning through your entire monthly budget just to keep a roof over your head, which leaves actual breathing room for groceries and social life. Getting around is super straightforward too. You don't need a car because public transport connects the campus right to the city center. Bus routes like the 304 and 304A pick up directly from the Stables bus stop on campus, and tapping with a TFI Student Leap Card drops the fare down to less than a euro per ride. Between lower living costs and cheap, frequent transit into town, living in Limerick makes managing a student budget way less stressful.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): There is a tech park in Shannon with loads of companies sponsoring visas but it is difficult to get interviews. Keep trying, and you will definitely get something. Try to get as much as possible from clubs and societies, as it will be counted towards your CV.

Best college experience, worth money
Tips: Yes, definitely, but I feel adapting to culture is really easy as well. Also, in terms of scholarships, I was awarded a scholarship based on my bachelor's marks and performance. Overall, I am very satisfied with the university, course, and country.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Approaching faculty in my department is easy and very good; they respond to the queries very fast, and also they are very friendly as well. In terms of diversity, the faculty here are pretty good; there are people from different nationalities, which makes it better for upcoming students.
Dislikes (Internships): The guidance is good but not up to the mark, and according to internships for bachelor's students, it's pretty good, and the opportunities are really good as well because you will get a chance to work with Big Four companies and get good exposure as well.

MSc in Sports Performance - Batch of 2025
Offered by University of Limerick
3.9
The university had a really strong sporting culture and a welcoming student community.
Tips: Only serious students who want to be involved in the sports industry should consider joining this course, as the course duration is very demanding and can take some time to get used to. The classes are very dynamic and open, focusing more on interactions and new ideas, slightly different from Asia. I was really happy with my time in Ireland, specifically in Limerick. If I get a chance to go back to Ireland, I would definitely go back.
Dislikes (Indian Food): The restaurants around the university were diverse, offering options from all over the world; however, they didn't specifically have food from my country. Also, I liked to cook for myself, which made my life a little easier and helped me control expenses.

Not worth the high out of state tuition
Tips: There will be many cultural changes that you’ll observe initially, and you'll get adapted to them gradually as well. The university does give out scholarships based on your marks, but they’re also first-come, first-served. So honestly, you need to apply as early as possible before the funding runs out. I’m satisfied with the country and course, but as an international student, I would still say it’s expensive and not worth it for a job market without prior experience of at least 2 years minimum.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Faculty are always available, and the way they teach is amazing; they are very diverse in nationalities and provide good guidance across the course period. It’s hands-on with labs and physical and real-world demonstrations, with wide range of facilities available, such as a library.
Dislikes (Internships): For a master's degree, you have to look out for opportunities around in your field; however, the university conducts career fairs and networking events, also based on location, as a nearby tech park would have ample opportunities available around in the city. Being a master's student, you always have to proactively be looking for opportunities since the beginning of the course.
