Why study in Latvia? An unconventional decision
I’m a Dutch exchange student currently studying in Latvia. While I was researching potential destinations, Latvia stood out because it’s a really beautiful country and has good schools.
Sterre’s experience: having the time of my life
Studying in Latvia is easier than at my home university, but my overall experience is great! The city is really beautiful, the people here are very friendly and I’m having the time of my life! So I’m very grateful that I got the opportunity to study and live here.
It can be useful to have some overlap between the study subjects at your home university and the one you’ll go to.
Advice for future echange students
It can be useful to have some overlap between the study subjects at your home university and the one you’ll go to. Also, do some research in advance to learn about accommodation and living in the place you’ll move to.
Student life, housing and expenses
I’m living in a student dorm which the university offers to international students. They're affordable and the setting really helped me make new friends. Financially, my parents cover school expenses, and I pay for the rest with help from Erasmus+.
