Having gone from undergraduate studies through to completion of graduate studies I can honestly say I have enjoyed the curriculum, the availability to study in my native language (English) and Latvia has truly become a home away from home. Although daunting at first my fears of moving to Latvia soon subsided with the immediate of warmth and acceptance of the Latvian people considering the vast differences in language it was as if there were none. Having spent 6 years studying at RTU I am now moving to Doctoral studies with absolute faith in the quality of teaching and dedication of my professors.
Apart from studying Latvia offers a variety of entertainment including nightlife, untouched nature recourses and as a music lover the Latvian love of song hits home.
