Diversity among the students

My opinion of RTU is good. There is definitely a lot of room for improvement with the organization and the overall work completed with the staff. The university offers a good environment with diversity and an inviting campus.

Not worth it

This place is for you who want to get advantaged of financially, nothing in this University is working. They do not care about their students. Seek a degree elsewhere. Teachers, administrators and principles are mostly unserious. There are a few good teachers I really adore with very respectable phDs but most of them are in their 20s with bachelors, fresh out of University already teaching.

Life in University of Latvia

I'm just started studying Mathematics. The matherial, which lectors are giving to us, and the way of the studying is simple. Also there is options to study by ourselves in rooms with noise isolation. And also I can see, that the university collect a advises from students to develop.

Fine

The easiest way to begin with Europe Pretty cheap to study and possible to know more about the European institutions I d strictly recomend it to all the EU newcomers Facilitators are really about to give some Impact to students
