Third level students starting college in Limerick in the coming weeks, or those returning, are being reminded that there is a fantastic student experience 'off campus' in Limerick City. Limerick City and County Council is encouraging university students, further education students, apprentices and skills based learning attendees to get out and about and experience Limerick City like never before.

A new four-week social and on-campus campaign by the Council’s Marketing & Communications department has begun this week, to inform students that there is more to student life than their campus and Limerick City is the perfect place for them to maximise their student experience.

As students already know, there’s no place like Limerick for college life and, while Limerick is an ideal place to study, it’s important that students broaden their life experiences by embracing Limerick City.

The four-week campaign will see staff from Marketing & Communications visit the campuses of UL, MIC and TUS Moylish and TUS LSAD on Clare Street to inform students of what’s on offer in the city.

A Limerick City pocket map, (online version also available) has been produced highlighting the range of off campus activities on offer to Limerick’s third level student population.

Students will also be in with a chance of winning an iPad to help them with their studies.

Third level attendees are being encouraged to check out the Top 10 Insta spots in Limerick in person and perhaps suggest some new spots.

In addition to the on-campus presence, a social media campaign targeting students is being rolled out as part of the overarching Limerick Student City campaign.

The campaign will highlight what’s going on in Limerick with a specific focus on value for money events.
