Family member was a UL student, and local families and dog-walkers are encouraged to avail of the many walks throughout the large campus. Great restaurants, wonderful swimming pool and gym area - The Arena, Olympic sized all weather running track, astro-turf tennis courts, picnic areas, spotlessly kept with campus security and cameras everywhere.

The university campus is a very pleasant to visit with lots of walking spaces. It crosses the river Shannon into Co Clare across an unusual foot bridge which "moves" as you walk.

Great place to walk around beautiful modern buildings mixed with one of the oldest rivers in Ireland. Produced some of the country's future leading statesmen and entrepreneurs. A credit to all that made this a must for any visitors to Limerick.

Think a university building is boring? Not this one. The University of Limerick is located right beside the river Shannon. There are lovely riverside walks along tree lined paths. Close by are the ruins of an old mill and a collection of fishermens' huts. Bring the kids up to the swimming place known as "Sandy" to generations of Limerick people.... More

Well worth a visit for its landscaping, old trees, shady avenues, interesting range of buildings old and new, and a fantastic long footbridge across the Shannon. One of the best of all campuses, and containing good restaurants and conference facilities.

Thisi is more than a University, its a veritable resort. Even if you have no interest in attending for scholarly pursuits it has great grounds including cafe's and walks (including the longest pedestrian bridge in Europe apparently). Its a great way to pass away a couple of hours easily strolling (or more strenuous if you're inclined) through the grounds, Have... More

UL is a fine, modern university and sports campus. It is home to the Munster Rugby team and houses the National 50m swimming pool in the University Arena. Check out Ger Hartman's extraordinary facility in the Arena - it's worth a visit.

I visited Ireland because my son was studying abroad at the University of Limerick. The tour he gave us of the school absolutely impressed me. It has a beautiful setting, lovely walks throughout the campus, and hidden castles to explore. His accommodations were a little bit less than what I had anticipated, but the academic buildings and the grounds were... More

Well worth a trip even if you are not a student. Beautiful buildings and superb walks about the campus. Walk from the campus all the way into the city along the river Shannon.
