Students experience

Maria Laguna
Erasmus+ student from Spain

Well, what could I say about my internship at LBC in Klaipeda… Actually, I would not have words to describe how I have felt these months. It is true that before coming I was afraid to leave my family and friends… In short, to leave my comfort zone and develop as a person. Living away from home was an exciting experience, but at the same time it created insecurity for me to know how I would be here, in a different country where I did not know anyone and had to start from scratch. But for me, expectations have exceeded reality. People are very sociable and I have felt welcomed from day one. Therefore, from the day I arrived, I decided to make the most of this experience. Thanks to each of the people I have met, talks, events, workshops … and especially to my mentor, Samanta, for making me feel at home. Thank you for making each moment something unique, for brightening my days and making me so happy. This opportunity has made me learn a lot about myself and about others. Now I keep these memories deep in my heart. A part of me stays here.

This is my second Erasmus+ but I can say the best Erasmus+ I felt like myself in my home and I felt so comfortable I met great people great teachers and friends. I loved Lithuania Business College, staff and also the dormitory with amazing view to the sea!

Erasmus+ student from Germany

My Erasmus+ experience at the Lithuania Business College was great! The lectures Marketing, Image of organization, International Business and Basic of Communication were quite interesting and all lecturer had a broad knowledge. For Basic of Communication we had an Expert from the UK. There is also enough time to travel through Lithuania and the rest of the Baltic. An advantage of the small port city Klaipeda is the beach and the Curonian Spit. A big thanks goes to our mentor Samanta SimonaviÄŤÄ—, she did everything to make my Erasmus+ time memorable!

Klaipeda, Lithuania … Firstly the thing that surprised me the most was the beach, just because I was not at all expecting that kind of beach here, the sunset is the best, even it will be cold there I wanna go anyway. The city of Klaipeda is really beautiful, because of the architecture and it is really clean.
It is a little difficult to understand some people like the oldest, because they do not speak English, but at the same time it is a challenge for all of us, because we need to talk with each other, so we need to get another way to explain and learn other languages too.
I am enjoying this experience too, because I can pursue my dream of traveling to a lot of countries, mainly Poland and Czech Republic, Latvia, and improve my English and myself too.

The Erasmus+ program in Klaipeda is exciting and good organized. When we all arrived in Lithuania our mentors helped us to find our dorm easily and they welcomed us very friendly.

All mentors keep us busy with different kind of activities. In addition, there are a couple of organized trips or events during weekends. Our dormitory is well located. Our College is in walking distance of the old town, so we also have a lot of shops around to buy food or whatever you need. The best thing is, we can reach the beach by bus within 10 minutes or by ferry (maybe 30 minutes by walking to the ferry). Furthermore, we have a park near our dormitory where we can climb in the trees. Or others like to have a run in this park which is beautiful and when you go a bit further you will find an unexpected huge and nice forest. Of course, Klaipeda has more opportunities for staying busy.

All in all, I had a lot of things to do during our studies.

Lithuania Business College şehrin merkezinde ver çok rahat çünkü şehirdeki bir çok yere yakın. Hemen hemen hergün okuldan sonra Old Town’da kısa yürüyüşler yapıp , herhangi bir kafeye girip lezzetli bir kahve eşliğinde stret atabiliyoruz.

Ozgul Yalin
Erasmus+ student from Hatay, Turkey

We learned a lot of new things during the lectures and I am sure that it would be helpful for us in our business career. If you are planning to study in KlaipÄ—da, I can truly say that you won’t regret studying here.

Erasmus+ staff from Turkey

When I applied to Erasmus+ Staff Mobility for Teaching in 2020, I received invitations from 2 Universities and I preferred Lithuania Business College. The reason I chose it was that Samanta responded quickly to all my questions and offered solutions. Due to the pandemic, I was able to attend the staff week in May 2022. I had a very good week with over 30 academics from 10 countries. First of all, I would like to thank all the Lithuania Business College family, especially Samanta, who made this organization very nice. I will never forget this week full of training, excursions, lunch and dinner meetings for the rest of my life.

p.s. “I love Klaipeda.”

Lecturer Devrim Zerengök - Manisa Celal Bayar University
Erasmus+ staff from Turkey

The staff week held in Klaipeda was my first experience. I have been to many many partner visits, conferences or small partner gatherings before but the staff week was the first one I have attended. I should specify that this organization of LBC, their management team and international office coordinators and staff has raised the bar of that kind, and I will be looking forward to see similar successful organizations like that.

I would like to express our satisfaction for everyone at LBC to make this week memorable, full of network and collaboration opportunities. It was fully and well integrated with academic, social and cultural aspects. Finally, I would like to specify that there is a warrior in every institution, who stand front, acts as a choirmaster of a perfect team, that was Samanta SimonaviÄŤÄ—. Many thanks for all the efforts she made to make this week well organized. And many thanks to the Management Team of LBC who hosted this week perfectly.

It was a pleasure for me to be with you as a colleague in Erasmus+ Staff Week. It was an unforgettable week for me. I have collected many beautiful memories. I also provided a lot of useful information for my academic life. Everything was awesome.
With all my heart thank you for everything. And also thanks to Lithuania Business College for hospitality.

Erasmus+ staff from Macedonia

After more than two years of fighting the COVID-19 pandemic, the Erasmus+ staff mobility in Klaipeda was the perfect occasion for me to reconnect with colleagues from all around the world. Lithuania Business College provided me with a priceless opportunity to participate in a learning and teaching approach exchange. I can say that I gained new perspectives and a sense of belonging to a global community as a result of my mobility experience. Developing international abilities and widening the scope of teaching strategies and methodologies are only just a few of the advantages I’ve gained. I’d like to express my gratitude to Lithuania Business College and the International Relations and Projects department for organizing such a fascinating social and intellectual experience, and even more presented me with the chance to discover Klaipeda and Lithuania itself. This staff mobility is a desirable outcome for any professor, teacher, lecturer, Erasmus+ coordinator, or administrative staff who wants to be a part of a program that connects people and communities, shares principles and ideas with people from all over Europe and beyond.

Ebrima Jammeh
Erasmus+ student

I chose to study at the Lithuania Business College, in Klaipeda for two Erasmus+ exchange programs because I wanted an excellent education and they provide one of the best quality and flexible education in Europe, during my first semester abroad in 2021, we had an expert from the United States and all our professors were incredibly professional. Klaipeda city was an obvious choice because it is so beautiful and architecturally unique—not to mention that the city has a sea! In Lithuania, people do not engage in small talk and are comfortable with silence. It is one of the countries where I feel at home because nobody judges me there.
