I did a course in griffith college limerick and myself and my class were so disappointed with the course and the facilities. IT WAS AN ABSOLUTE MESS EVERYTHING ABOUT THE PLACE WAS JUST... WELL CRAP AND BADLY RUN. Biggest waste of time so angry can`t believe they can portray themselves as a private college above public standards. You may as well through your money down the drain.
