There are no study abroad only houses. There are no meal plans in Irish universities. Ten restaurants on campus offer good food at reasonable prices. Students usually eat a hot meal on campus during the day and cook in the village house in the evening. AIFS students receive IR 6.00 per day to purchase or cook their own meals.
All undergraduate courses are open to study abroad students.
Some courses have prerequisites, noted in the guide to module selection and on the UL web site. Science majors at UL usually have five years high school science behind them, and UL courses start from that basis. Most students majoring languages at UL start at a fairly high level. Five is the normal workload for an Irish student. If a student wishes to take four, they must present a letter from the home college giving permission for this.
