Hey, my name is Ruben and I’ve been living in Vilnius for a good month and a half. I’m studying industrial engineering at DHBW Mosbach and thanks to TecAlliance I can spend a semester abroad in Lithuania.
Due to a snowstorm, the flight here was much longer than expected, but I was still warmly welcomed at the airport and was able to meet my mentor right away.
Here at Vilnius Gediminas Technical University (VILNIUS TECH), every exchange student has a mentor who helps them get started. There are a lot of events organised, so I often go out with others ( partying, on a trip of the Trakei, for a dinner or just walking around Vilnius), but I was also able to take the time to explore Vilnius by myself. There is really a lot to see, so you never get bored besides the university life.
I’m already looking forward to the next “last Sunday of the month” because then you can visit many museums for free and the last time (Vilnius Museum of Illusions) was really great. I’m curious to see what else awaits me.
