Services
Student services
The International Relations Office (IRO) offers support with the aim to create opportunities for local students to get a taste of Europe and for international students to experience the student life in Lithuania.
Housing services
Each incoming student may apply for a living place in one of the students’ dormitories situated in the area of the University campus (Perkuno al. 3 and Aušros g. 42A).
Rooms are furnished with beds, closets, desk, and desk chairs. The student does not need to bring the bedding and bed linen, as he/she will get it in the dormitory, but the dormitory administration does not provide towels. The student also has to buy the kitchenware (flatware, cups, plates, etc.) upon arrival. The kitchen (bathroom as well) will be shared with other students. The rooms are supplied with an internet connection, but not computers, thus, the student has to bring his/her own computer or rent it upon arrival.
Library services
The LSU library with over 90 thousand publications offers a lounge area for visitors, reading rooms for group work and individual study with nearly 100 workplaces, and favorable conditions for students’ self-study in general.
Medical services
At LSU a first aid doctor may be consulted during working hours in case of sudden health problems or minor pains. The LSU doctor will prescribe medicine or refer you to another doctor.
All international students are supposed to have health insurance valid in Lithuania for the study period which can be obtained in the student’s home country or from a Lithuanian insurance company upon arrival.
