Living in Kaunas and Vilnius has been equally memorable for me
Studying at Vytautas Magnus University (VMU) in Kaunas, Lithuania, has been an incredibly enriching experience. VMU is located in the heart of Kaunas, a city full of charm and history, offering a dynamic academic environment.
The university combines modern facilities with a strong emphasis on fostering critical thinking and creativity. The campus atmosphere is vibrant and welcoming, with numerous cultural and academic events that bring students from diverse backgrounds together.
Professors at VMU are approachable and passionate, creating a collaborative and inspiring space for learning and personal growth.
Living in Kaunas and Vilnius has been equally memorable for me. Known for their picturesque old town and modern cultural hubs, cities are a blend of historic charm and contemporary vibrancy.
Some of my favorite experiences include strolling along the cobblestone streets of the old town, visiting landmarks like Kaunas Castle, and exploring the city's many museums and art galleries. Kaunas also offers a variety of cozy cafes and restaurants where you can try traditional Lithuanian dishes like cepelinai (potato dumplings) and šaltibarščiai (cold beet soup).
The city's youthful energy, combined with its rich cultural heritage, makes it a truly unique place to live and study.
