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.

My Experience Studying at KTU

Studying at Kaunas University of Technology has been a really good experience for me so far. I am studying Industrial Engineering Management, and I like how the program combines engineering knowledge with management and business skills. The subjects are practical and useful, especially for understanding how industries and companies work in real life. The teachers are friendly and supportive, and most of them are always ready to help students when needed. I also enjoy the international environment at KTU because I get to meet people from different countries and learn about different cultures. It makes university life more interesting and enjoyable. Another thing I appreciate is that the university focuses not only on theory but also on practical learning, teamwork, and projects. This helps students prepare for future jobs and gain confidence in their skills. Overall, I feel happy to study at Kaunas University of Technology. It is a good university for students who want quality education, personal growth, and better career opportunities in the future.

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.
