System

For me, Vilnius University is well known & best University in whole Europe. Many international students are studying here.They are really making friendly rules for EU students though which is not applicable for Non EU students.There are lot of students from Asia & Africa continent's.As we know meximum things are different in these continent's, so they are facing huge problems after coming here for every case. In abroad, I think University's are like a family for us, so they should make some rules for us, which can release our academic & mental pressure, such as academic leave for a semester or a year.Now we can take the academic leave though I don’t think It’s the perfect way for non Eu students. So I am requesting that Universities should consider these matters for Non Eu students. Without these I love my University.

One of the best technical universities in Lithuania.

VGTU is one of the best technical universities in Lithuania. They provide many field of studies for students and good environemnet for studies at all. Moreover, its International office provides many opportunities to study or doing internship abroad, thus have cooperation with many international universities around the world. Thanks to VGTU, I got a summer internship 2019 in Belgium and received good feedback there and, at the moment, I am studying in Estonia by bilateral agreement. I especially want to note teachers staff of the department where I study. They are good specialists and share necessary experience during lectures which can be useful for the future job. Furthermore, sometimes they send us actual vacancies and give recommendations to some companies who are ready to consider students' applications. For me personally this university "opened a window of life". I have met a lot of people from other countries, learned new things and got valuable life experience.

Practical Tourism and Recreation Studies

I am currently studying in the Tourism and Recreation programme and have completed four semesters. Overall, my experience at SMK College of Applied Sciences has been positive. The programme combines theoretical knowledge with practical activities, helping students understand how the tourism and recreation industry works in real-life situations. The lecturers are generally supportive and willing to help students when needed. Classes cover a variety of topics related to tourism, hospitality, recreation, and business, which provides a broad understanding of the field. I also appreciate the opportunity to work on projects and assignments that encourage teamwork and problem-solving skills. The college has an international environment, allowing students to meet people from different countries and cultures. This makes studying more interesting and helps improve communication skills. One area that could be improved is the organization of some administrative processes, which can occasionally take longer than expected. However, this has not significantly affected my studies. I would recommend SMK College of Applied Sciences to students who are interested in tourism and recreation and are looking for a practical, career-oriented study programme.
