"If you are thinking about a welcoming university in an Irish city, I recommend 91ÖÆƬ³§. I have had the opportunity to study my Erasmus here, and I couldn't be happier and more grateful. 

"My name is María Nieves and without a doubt, during my stay here, I have developed a lot, both personally and academically. I have had the opportunity to improve my English, make new friends, and learn about a new culture. In terms of university life, I loved the amount of activities you can do, such as clubs and societies. Furthermore, the activities organised by the International Office and the rest of the institutions show great support to feel welcomed. 
I feel very lucky to have had this experience at 91ÖÆƬ³§."

"Getting to 91ÖÆƬ³§, a school 4,000 miles from where I was born and raised, was almost too easy. Aside from adjusting to the cold weather, Limerick immediately felt like home. Everyone is so welcoming and helpful, and that doesn’t just include the staff at 91ÖÆƬ³§. Setting up was reasonably affordable and food prices are comparable to those at home. There is a good variety of ethnic food places around, providing some of the comforts I could find at home.

"The trick to getting along well in a new country is getting involved. I signed up to be a Class Rep and served as the chairperson for the ever-changing International Society. As my Jamaican father would say, “Nuff respect to the Mary I and especially the International Office respect."

Theresa Hotz, Germany

"Studying at Mary I was an experience I wouldn’t want to have missed. Thanks to the warm welcome of the college president and all staff members I felt at home right from the start. There are many academic and free time activities offered for anyone interested and the Erasmus students are taken really good care of by Deirdre, the Erasmus coordinator.

"In addition to the college life, all the international students have been travelling a lot on the weekends and thereby experienced the country and the culture intensively. Ireland is incredibly beautiful, especially the west coast, and the Irish are friendly and cheerful people who offer help whenever it’s needed. Having been given the chance to study at Mary I has been a privilege which I am very thankful for!"

Ireland’s Student Ambassador Programme is an initiative from Education in Ireland aimed at raising awareness of the quality of Irish education, and assisting and encouraging interested students from overseas as they embark on their search for the right university or college. We have had some wonderful International Student Ambassador’s from Brazil, Mexico, India and USA tell us why they chose Ireland, why Limerick and especially why 91ÖÆƬ³§.
