Life in Limerick

Since this experience, I have had feelings of empowerment and greater relation to the larger world with a more defined sense of self.

UL had been welcoming from the day I received an acceptance letter! The university has many programs to integrate new students, even only for a semester. From the buddy program, the ambassador’s program, and clubs & societies, there is a community just waiting for everyone! Some of my semester friendships were formed from a single introductory coffee session hosted by the global office!
