International students live in these townhouses, each housing eight. One or two American students live with six or seven Irish students or other international students to enable integration into the social life of the full-time Irish students.
Students have single rooms and share a kitchen, living room and bathroom facilities.
Each townhouse has cable TV, and each room links to the main university computer network allowing students to use their own PC's. The AIFS fee includes an allowance for meals. Students can use the money to buy meals at University cafes or cafeterias or cook at home with roommates and friends. Students can walk from their housing to all campus facilities, designed similar to American campuses. A public bus from the University takes 10 minutes to Limerick and departs every 20 minutes until 11 p.m. Public transportation is inexpensive, as are taxis from the center of town to the University.
