University of Limerick Reviews and Ratings

• I opted for on-campus accommodation, fearing the scams that are very much relevant on Irishhousing websites. The monthly rent was 781 euros. If one is looking for accommodation, they need to choose cheap on-campus housing from the start. I waited for my visa and got the expensive housing. If one could apply very early, they could get cheap on-campus housing for 500 something.

• We took off-campus accommodation.
• We came across a few other students through UL's Indian student whatsapp group.
• My monthly rent was 350 Euros a month. A separate room with attached bathroom, common kitchen with basic kitchen appliances, washing machine, a dryer, fridge, water heater, gas heater for winter, bed with a mattress, tables, chairs, etc.
• It is very difficult to find accommodation in Ireland, specifically Off campus, since there is already a housing crisis in Ireland. We were lucky since the students we interacted with had friends already staying in Limerick and they helped us find accommodation. We were also able to connect with them on Linkedin. The usual process is to register yourself in daft.ie and send a request to owners and agents of properties specifying your details. If everything goes smoothly, we need to transfer them the rent and 1-month deposit amount in advance, followed by signing contracts online. It is advised to go via registered agents in Ireland for accommodation since there is a lot of fraud and you might get cheated.
• It was 3 kms away from the university, close to the bus stop. Most students prefer to stay in college accomodation which is safe and secure.

• It was decent. it was 900 m from the college so quite near the campus and walkable , it had all the amenities, and they used to provide cleaning services every quarter or upon request so all in all, they had great approachability and they were always there to help. We had onsite people to help navigate the campus on the day of arrival and also staff was there from morning to evening to help with any other issues.

• I stayed in student accommodation provided through the university, cost around €788 per month for a room. and If you're looking for cheaper options, you can also find places outside the university. But i recommend avoiding platforms like WhatsApp and Discord for apartment hunting, as they can be unreliable. rather use daft.ie—all listings there are registered, so there’s a much lower risk of being scammed.

• I preferred on-campus accommodation, which I searched on the university's website.
• My monthly rent was 740 euros including bills as I lived in a 6-bed apartment with ensuite rooms non-sharing. There were a variety of facilities available like free gym, sports, on-campus pub, and free events available for students on-campus.
• As Ireland is known for the housing crisis, my challenge was to find a room for me, so I preferred on-campus accommodation. My only advice for future students is that on-campus is a bit expensive but is reliable compared to off-campus. Even if you opt for off-campus, please get it verified through a reliable source and then only make the payment to the landlord. A lot of scammers are hunting for students like you!
• My accommodation was on-campus, a 5-minute walk to my main building. Most of the Indians prefer living on campus as even they know living on-campus makes life easier.

UL was a breath of fresh air. It was a one off experience for me that I'll never have again in my life. That said, I really think the university can do better in terms of checking on their international students in terms of accommodation and actually bringing in the concept of placement. If these 2 can be taken care of, I think it'd become the most sought after university in Europe.

My overall experience was great because this is the first time I came out from my home town and had to lead an independent life. If you are confident about yourself and have some patience in everything, you'll have a great life here regardless of the University you're choosing.

I have chosen this university because this is one of the top universities of Ireland with so much facilities and I have gone through various researches as well so I found this university to be good for me.

There are various websites like Study in Ireland. There are Facebook groups like Study in Ireland with respect to the particular year. There are various consultants on the groups and they also help us. They don't charge any fees.

Affordable cost of living and low tuition fees. The content of the program was perfect for me.
