Students are required by the University of Limerick to enroll in five courses but may, with permission, drop one. Most courses carry four Hollins credits. The University also offers a wide range of clubs and social activities. Hollins students in Limerick live in apartment suites in student villages on campus. Each suite has several single bedrooms and a shared living room and kitchen.
Students prepare their own meals or eat in the subsidized restaurants on campus.
Hollins provides an allowance to cover the cost of meals. The program at the University of Limerick is open to sophomores and juniors who are in good standing at Hollins, have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.9, and have demonstrated academic and personal maturity and the ability to work independently. Although all qualified applicants are admitted, there may be times when more students apply than can be accepted into the program. In such cases, admission decisions are based on individual student qualifications.
