Studying Software Engineering at Vilnius University has been a mix of excitement and hard work. Some courses are tough, especially when learning algorithms or working on big projects, but seeing your code actually run makes it all worth it. Professors are friendly and always willing to help, which makes a huge difference when you’re stuck. I’ve also loved the group projects and hackathons—they feel a lot like real tech work and teach you how to collaborate under pressure. It’s intense at times, but I feel like I’m really growing as a programmer every day.
