“As I boarded my flight for Europe, I could not fathom how the next few months would look.”

“I left everything I knew back in the United States and set out across the Atlantic Ocean en route to my new home in Klaipeda, Lithuania. Amidst the sudden change of my environment, I was welcomed with warm hospitality by the LCC community. As time passed, a place that felt so foreign began to feel familiar. I started to recognize faces and remember names. I learned which buses could get me home and decided which coffee shops were my favorite. Throughout the semester, I went on spontaneous adventures, created everlasting friendships, and learned so much about Eastern European history and culture. The opportunity to attend LCC International University was an opportunity to immerse myself into a variety of cultures and languages, as well as engage in memorable interactions with students from all over the world. The ability to invest in myself by studying abroad is one I will never forget. At LCC, you will grow, learn, laugh, and most importantly love."
