International exchange programs are one of the most important experiences that students should not miss. I was selected for a bilateral exchange in Colorado, USA, and had a great opportunity to expand my knowledge and cultural diversity.
Simona Rybakovaitė, Australia
The exchange program in Australia is the best thing that has ever happened in my life: I have met a lot of different people with whom I have been in very close contact so far, I have seen the amazing nature, cities, and culture of Australia. I’ve attended memorable parties and festivals!
