Like every high school graduate student after receiving my diploma I started to wonder where shall I continue my studies. There are so many opportunities for students in Lithuania and abroad. I chose Mykolo Romerio University in Vilnius.
Although I do not regret my choice there are a lot of universities to be chosen from. One of them is University of Amsterdam. Why this university? How is it better?
First of all, I always wanted to visit the Netherlands, especially Amsterdam, so to live and to study there would be amazing. However, nothing comes for free. Scholarships in University of Amsterdam are only available for students who are not from EU countries, since I am from Lithuania education would not be free for me. Although study's fees are not so high, it is always better to get free education like I do in MRU. Also living in Netherlands is much more expensive than living in Lithuania.
Secondly, I always wanted to improve my English language skills. MRU also has several opportunities to learn English, but it would be so much better to talk to a native English man, this way is more productive. Also it would not hurt to learn additional language like Dutch. There are courses for students like me, who has no skills of Dutch language at all.
In conclusion, there are a lot of things that can stop you from going to study abroad, for me it would be costs of education, long distance from home, lack of friends and fear of being alone in foreign country, but it has also its advantages like new adventures and new friends, more opportunities to improve your life and to expand your world view, also University of Amsterdam gives you everything you need to be save as long as you study there. On the other hand studies in Lithuania seems to have more advantages, you are home, save and warm, you do not need to worry about anything, language is clear, it won't be any confusions and studies in MRU gives me that.
