Program Details
IFSA-University of Limerick |
|
|
| Overview |
 |
|
For a truly integrated experience and the chance to study in unique programs, consider the University of Limerick. With 10,000 students, Limerick is big enough to offer a range of courses, but small enough to make students feel right at home. Although the school is known for its academic commitment to the sciences and business, the arts are a large part of its extra-curricular activities. The campus sits on the banks of the River Shannon and offers lots of beautifully landscaped green space. Study abroad students will live on campus in a student village that offers a central clubhouse for recreation and a reception office. Limerick has a strong sense of community. Student social life revolves around ''The Stables,'' a complex with bars, restaurants, and bank, and stores. Limerick has good athletic facilities as well. Study abroad students might want to consider joining one of the Union-sponsored clubs and societies or the athletic clubs; they can help to get a better feel for campus life. Due to the University of Limerick's different semester schedule, students are unable to participate during the fall semester only and return in time to begin spring semester classes at Purdue. The approximately dates of this program are Sept-May or Jan-May.
