Study Ireland – Stories & Guides from International Students

In this personal blog, MD Shafquat, an Indian Master’s student in Business Management, discusses his new beginning with the University of Limerick.

I made a bold move in September 2022 when I decided to step out of my comfort zone and start a new chapter in my life. After thorough consideration, I confidently chose Ireland as my preferred destination for pursuing a university degree outside India. 

As I was searching for a fresh start, I stumbled upon the University of Limerick’s campus and the range of courses they offer. The beautiful campus’s state-of-the-art facilities and welcoming environment immediately caught my attention. The university representatives were highly supportive and helpful throughout the visa process, providing all the information I needed and cleared any doubts I had.  

After arriving on campus, I was thrilled to discover a vibrant community of students worldwide. Making new friends was easy, and I felt like I had found a second family. The campus life was excellent, with numerous extracurricular activities and events to keep everyone engaged and entertained. Overall, I am delighted with my decision to choose the University of Limerick as my new home. 

I am enjoying my time at this university so far. My room is fantastic, and the campus is stunning and peaceful, with plenty of opportunities to connect with nature. Classes started on Monday, and I was eager to meet my classmates and lecturers and explore the campus. Things have been going smoothly, and I am impressed by the additional facilities, such as UL Sport, the various clubs, and the student courtyard with its ever-changing small stalls. 

I would highly recommend UL to anyone who asks for suggestions. I am excited for the upcoming year. Cheers!
