My studies at Šiauliai University has been very great. There are very good lecturers and professors with adequate knowledge and experience in different fields. The university has good study facilities and a comfortable studying environment. There is so much to mention about my university life here in Šiauliai. To cut it short, I must say that the university has not merely given me an education, but is also teaching me how to live.

Living in another country is already a great experience for me. First of all it’s my first trip to another country and second, I have an opportunity to study in English. In Ukraine we don’t have such kind of things. So for me it was a huge pleasure especially because I am a translator. I like living in Šiauliai. The city is small and quiet, so I can rest from the noisy life in the capital However, the people can be a little bit closed and even cold sometimes. Nonetheless, life in the dormitory is really interesting. I met a lot of new international friends with different cultures, countries and behaviour. And also I enjoy studying at the university. The lectures are entertaining and the professors know their job.

Lithuania and especially Šiauliai is my “second home,” as the experience obtained here provided me with the opportunity to live abroad, recognise European values, meet people from different countries around the world, and allowed me the possibility to gain valuable, international and practical knowledge. I also got a lot of experience studying all subjects in English. I had a big opportunity to improve my skills in organisation work, team working and communication. Šiauliai University provides all conditions for getting good, qualified, productive education. The lecturers do everything to create a friendly, warm and working atmosphere for the students. They are interested in the maximum growth of a student, the development of his or her intelligence, and spiritual comfort. There is maximum freedom provided for thinking outside the box, for the creativity progress, and for the creative approaches to learning! It’s time to make a lot of friends, travel and be more familiar with others culture, traditions, cuisine and country.
