Personal comments

Well, it was my home country, my chosen university, my chosen major, my people and my language. I was dissapointed that international students had very limited ways in communigating with professors because mane of them spoke limited english. I actually do not know how many international students managed to get their degrees and what they actually learned. I was dissapointed with school because I simply chose a wrong major. If I was to choose the field I would have enjoyed-Gedimina's University might have been quite a nice school to graduate from.

Personal comments

Younger students should have a chance to talk to an advisor/cauncellor. But it is more Lithuanina undergraduate education system in general than a school issue.
