Following the end of the spring semester, VILNIUS TECH bid farewell to Erasmus+ and other exchange program students who studied at the university, explored Lithuanian culture, and became a part of the VILNIUS TECH community. This semester, the VILNIUS TECH community was joined by 402 students from various countries around the world – 265 arrived for one semester, and 137 participated in blended intensive programs. While studying at the university, they deepened their professional knowledge, took part in practical classes, project activities, university events, and social initiatives. During their studies, they also had the opportunity to explore Vilnius and Lithuania, travel, discover new cultures, and forge friendships that, as they themselves note, will continue even after the mobility period ends. The university community also played a significant role in the students' experience. Those arriving for the semester were guided by the VILNIUS TECH International Relations Office team, the Vice-Deans for Internationalization, and the ESN VILNIUS TECH organization, all of whom helped them seamlessly integrate into university life and get to know Vilnius. At the end of the semester, students shared their impressions about studying at VILNIUS TECH. Many emphasized that their mobility experience was not just an academic opportunity, but also a vital stage of personal growth. "My Erasmus experience in Vilnius completely exceeded all my expectations, both personally and academically. I am leaving with a backpack full of memories, laughter, travels, and enormous personal growth," says Valentina Iriarte Perez from University of Granada, Spain. "What really stood out was the teaching staff. Every professor I spoke to had fantastic English, and the whole university community was incredibly friendly and always willing to help. Choosing VILNIUS TECH was one of the best decisions I've made and I'd highly recommend it to any future exchange student," shares Adam Biciste from Brno University of Technology, Czech Republic. "Being surrounded by international students every day taught me so much about other cultures and about myself. This experience gave me a much broader perspective on both life and my future career," tells Oleksandra Halahan from Lviv Polytechnic National University, Ukraine. "My Erasmus experience broadened my horizons and helped me grow significantly as a person. I would highly recommend it to any student seeking a unique and rewarding journey," says Acai Arman, Naval Academy „Mircea cel Bătrân“, Romania. "My time at VILNIUS TECH was much more than studying abroad. It was a journey of personal growth, cultural exploration, friendship, and creative development. Lithuania truly became my second home," shares YuChieh Hsu from National Yunlin University of Science and Technology (Taiwan). We thank all incoming international exchange students for their active participation in university life. We wish them the best of luck in their future studies and professional careers, and we hope that VILNIUS TECH and Lithuania will always remain a place you will want to return to.
