Living Arrangements

Students enrolled in UL may choose to live on campus in one of the five Student Villages. There are approximately 2,500 rooms available on campus. Students also have the possibility of living off campus in shared accommodation that includes self-catering houses and apartments. Most off-campus accommodation is located within walking distance of the university campus.

Campus Accommodation is reserved for International students each year.  Students apply to the International Education office.  It is an excellent option for International students as you get an opportunity to meet Irish students and other nationalities and to enjoy all our superb campus has to offer. i.e. sports facilities and clubs and societies activities.

Students will be responsible for making their own meals. Both the residence halls and private accommodations have kitchens available for making meals. There is a variety of cafés and bars where students can purchase meals. The University of Limerick’s Student Union runs a small food store on campus and sells fruit, vegetables, frozen foods, dairy, and also has a delicatessen section where sandwiches and rolls are made to order, along with hot food.
