The third largest city in the Republic of Ireland, Limerick was founded by the Vikings over a thousand years ago. Limerick City (population 80,000) is a most lively, interesting and attractive place to live and study. The city is magnificently sited on one of Europe's finest rivers, the Shannon.

Limerick offers an unequalled base from which to explore the Southwest and West of Ireland. Bunratty Castle and Folk Park, Adare, the Cliffs of Moher, the Burren, Killarney, and the lakes and mountains of Galway and Kerry, are all within easy driving distance.

"Ireland is great! I am really involved within the school and doing a lot of traveling. Last weekend I went to Dublin with the Waterpolo team, and this weekend I am going to Brussels with some friends. I love it here!" - Mary OMelia
