Truly a transformative experience

September 01, 2025by: Connor Minix - United StatesProgram: Semester in Ireland - University of Limerick

Limerick was a beautiful, welcoming city where I never felt like I was truly on my own. The University of Limerick was the same way— and full of new experiences, challenges, and people who played a huge part in my study abroad experience. I met amazing friends, found ways to get involved, and had the opportunity to see some amazing sights around Ireland. I quickly found my footing in Ireland and used the experience as an opportunity to greatly increase my independence. I feel as if, thanks to this program, I changed so much for the better in such a short period of time. I would 100% recommend!

My Semester in Limerick, Ireland

My experience in Limerick, Ireland with CIS was amazing! The housing that CIS put us in was amazing and they took care of us every step of the way. Our onsite director, Karina, did such a good job making herself available to us. Karina planned excursions for us to help us live the local life and become familiar to Ireland. The experience I had at the University of Limerick was made exponentially better by the dedication given by CIS. I recommend Limerick to anyone. It truly is a beautiful place with overwhelming amounts of culture.

Everything about my experience at UL was absolutely wonderful! I met so many amazing people from Ireland, around the world, and even some from my own state that I still keep in touch with. I was also able to fully immerse myself into the Irish culture by exploring most of the country through trips the university itself or CISAbroad planned for me.
