“Understanding places and people that shape us”

“No longer do I see others as citizens of a single geographical location, but rather I see my fellow students and cherished mentors as experienced citizens of different homes for distinctly different seasons of life. No longer will I ask people where they are from, but I will seek to understand the places and people groups that have shaped them. We are so much more than the latitude and longitude where we were born.”

Safety

Students live in a tight on-campus community among other international students. While traveling we take all necessary precautions:

If students travel with the group, we have teams and procedures to oversee all excursions.
If students travel on their own, we keep travel information and contact numbers to know where they are.

Communication

Use FaceTime, Facebook Messenger, Skype, Google Hangouts or any other video chat app to keep in touch and make the adjustment period easier for both of you.

Passport

Please make sure their passport is valid for at least six months after their last day abroad.

Lithuanian Visa

After being accept to our program, students will be provided with step-by-step instructions on how to obtain a visa. We provide support and necessary documents for this process. Visas can be obtained from consulates located in: Chicago, IL; New York, NY; Los Angeles, CA or Washington, D.C. It is possible for students to get a visa upon arrival to Lithuania, however we strongly advise to get it prior to departure.

Prescription medication & immunization

Health care

In case of sickness or emergencies, students can attend the health clinic in Lithuania and get reimbursed by their insurance.

Banking

We recommend obtaining a bank card that doesn't charge foreign transaction fees. Inform your bank of the travel dates to avoid card being frozen as part of fraud prevention. Cash can be withdrawn from local ATM's, but note that banks generally charge you for each withdrawal.
