I chose VU MF because of all the wonderful opportunities this university has to offer. The Integrated program itself is unique in comparison to all others. The professors are wonderful and are available to answer all your questions and concerns. The city of Vilnius is vibrant and welcoming with a growing number of people visiting and touring the area daily. Most importantly it is a safe environment, constantly thriving and booming. Whether you choose to do some studying in the national library during the daytime or just looking to enjoy the nightlife in Vilniaus gatve, all these experiences and more are worth exploring.

I came to Lithuania as a refugee from the war, I faced many difficulties at the beginning: a new country, not knowing what would happen next and all this not by my choice, but because of the circumstances. But I entered Vilnius University, which gave me a certain confidence, a sense of comfort, a feeling that I am in my place. The university helped me integrate and open up in a new society. I have a lot of opportunities here to develop myself. And I am very grateful to Vilnius University for this. Because Vilnius University helped me to flourish and shine in spite of any circumstances. Because here is the study that interests me, here are my friends, here are my activities and my interests

I always wanted exposure to the international study environment, which came true while studying at Vilnius University. My experience as a science student has been quite informative and academic.

To connect with “The Baltic Way” by speaking up about the determination, this campus is one of the oldest in Eastern Europe. It tells the history of nations who live among great powers. Thanks to the expertise of its professors and administrators, here you can feel how connecting the cultural heritage with meaningful political transformations led to resilience after more than three decades of continuous work. It helped me to learn more about the democratic transition in East-Central European countries and the Baltic region with expansion in the political economy. Adaptability and flexibility to study and find a way of living are something you will learn on this journey.

For me, the 7/24 library facility is one of the best things at VU, since this wasn’t available in Cyprus . The traffic rules are well-obeyed in Lithuania, compared to those in my home and birth countries. The working hours are also less in Lithuania, which may not always be a good thing.

The quality of the course, combined with the lecturers’ enthusiasm and the friendly students have made my studies vibrant and colourful. Another intriguing factor is that I have learned many different things (and experienced some culture shock) in our multicultural dormitory.

I chose Vilnius University hoping to gain relevant knowledge and skills while also getting the authentic student experience — the community, the extracurricular activities, etc. And these expectations were often even exceeded. I study an array of great subjects, volunteer and practice a great hobby of mine — all of this within VU!

I think that Lithuania and the USA have a “feeling of being at home” in common.

I am enjoying my studies at VU. The professors are knowledgeable and approachable, and the library is open 24/7, unlike in Malawi. In Lithuania, the internet is high-speed and affordable. In the winter, there is snow. However, Malawi has more sunny days and mountains.

Studying abroad isn’t easy; coping with new environments and cultures is challenging. But I have always had the desire to study abroad, and VU was one of the best decisions I made. It has a very comfortable system and way of teaching. Professors are always ready to help and share their knowledge. Being an international student at VU will never be a regret.
