Shmahailo Volodymyr - State University of Information and Communication Technologies / Ukraine

Taking part in the Erasmus mobility program at Vilnius Gediminas Technical University was one of the best decisions I have made during my studies. From the very beginning, during the orientation days, I was impressed by how well-organized everything was. We were introduced to the university, the local culture, and Lithuanian traditions, which helped me feel more comfortable and engaged from the start. 

  

The welcoming atmosphere at Vilnius Tech created a positive first impression that lasted throughout my stay. One of the highlights of my Erasmus experience was meeting people from all over the world. I had the opportunity to interact with students from different countries, cultures, and ideologies, which broadened my horizons and motivated me to grow both personally and academically. These intercultural exchanges were incredibly enriching and helped me develop a more open-minded perspective. Living in the student dormitory was also a valuable part of my journey. I was lucky to meet a few fellow Ukrainians there, which made my adaptation to a new environment much smoother. Additionally, I enjoyed taking part in activities organized by the ESN (Erasmus Student Network). 

They always came up with creative and fun events that brought students together and helped us make the most of our time in Vilnius. Overall, my Erasmus experience was truly unforgettable, and I am grateful for every moment I spent in Lithuania.
