Study Ireland – Stories & Guides from International Students

Making the decision to study abroad can be intimidating, especially because it involves moving your whole life to somewhere new. This blog from Student Ambassador Afrah AlLawati might just make you realise that coming to Limerick could be one of the best decisions you ever make…

Let’s face it.

Living in Limerick was one of the best decisions that I made.

Other than the perfect, refreshing and calm atmosphere that I experienced, the people in Limerick are warm hearted, nice and welcoming. In addition, I barely got the feeling of homesickness.

I remember, before COVID-19, I used to wake up early and walk to university instead of taking the bus, just so I could see the beautiful sceneries and admire the Shannon river.

I wish if I could have done a lot of fun activities before the pandemic. However, I would always encourage my friends and people who are willing to visit Limerick to just have a walk around the city and see how simple but beautiful the city is.

That one activity that I will always recommend to my friends is kayaking. As this activity would make them see the beauty of Shannon river.

Limerick will forever be in my heart.

Thank you.
