Another advantage of shared accommodation is the social aspect. Living with roommates can provide a sense of companionship and support, as well as the opportunity to meet new people and make lasting friendships. Shared spaces like living rooms, kitchens, and common areas foster social interactions and can create a sense of community within the household.

Questions and answers about Limerick Language Centre
- I am going to work in Limerick this summer and I am interested in booking a course for my 17 year old daughter, but the website states that she must be 18 years old to be accepted. Can I still book the course for her?“The schools are very strict with the minimum age of acceptance, and if your daughter is not 18 by the time the course starts, they will not be able to accept her. They can't risk accepting her and while she is taking the course, if there is a British Council inspection and they find out, it could even mean the closing of the school.”Rubén De Haro, LanguageCourse.Net - Dec 28, 2022

He has to prepare the exam for the FCE certification in Italy. I would like to know if your school in Limerick can prepare the students for this exam.“In Limerick we have a number of schools that organise the course you require.
