Study at KTU
Everything is great! I would suggest for everyone to come and study in KTU. The country Lithuania itself is not very big, but it has lots of great places, starting from nature, such as castles, and ending with oldtown with various restaurants, bars, cafes and night clubs
My review
I appreciated the fact that I was doing a sector that I appreciate enough. There is also a good level of education.
City‑centre language gaps
Most of the issues come from the subject management instead of the campus. We have encountered multiple occasions where international students had trouble understanding the lecturers due to their lack of English skills. When it comes to expenses of the campus, I think they are manageable from what I've heard, since I don't live on campus myself. Unfortunately food is not an available option at least in my faculty. Other faculties indeed have canteen, but since my faculty is in the middle of the city centre, the options are mostly available outside the faculty. There used to be a vending machine, but it broke down a couple of months ago. Parking has also been an issue, since majority of the places are quite cramped or students are just not allowed to park (this restriction applies only to the faculties which are located in the city centre), outside parking is mostly rental. Luckily the public transport is very accessible and quite cheap, thus there are many rental bikes, scooters. I would even say it is easier to walk from one faculty to another.
