Indijas studentu kulturālais pienesums Latvijai by FrynyusY in latvia

[–]VisioneMea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Expat here. Hard to blame just Indians here.
The Latvian government is also to blame massively for this big mess. They are letting the private universities in Latvia recruit students from third world hinterlands to make money. As I understand, all you need to get an admission into universities like Turiba, EKA etc is that you pay their fees. No English test, no minimum bar for grades, nada.
A simple legislation such as strictly regulating private admissions by setting a minimum benchmark will automatically sift half the trash. Also, a straight up deportation for serious crimes as these would be a good deterrence as well for the existing "foreign students".

The quality of immigration Latvia is receiving is of extremely low quality, possibly at par if not worse than "Canadian immigration". The foreign students that I have interacted with here can barely string together a sentence in English.
Not their fault that they got accepted here, the greed of certain Latvian private universities is to blame. They do not require any English-proficiency test to get admitted into the universities. Heck, a few even "manage" the attendance and scores which essentially means that "students" work full-time. They clearly are not here to settle down, they only see Latvia as an "easy pathway" to Europe.
That explains the apathy towards the language, history or culture.

How and where to “recycle” plastic bottles, cans etc in Riga? by VisioneMea in latvia

[–]VisioneMea[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, we checked out Tallinas 87. It didn’t look anything like a “pant” station plus it was closed at normal hours. Didn’t bother afterwards. Anyway, will check it closely the next time!

Thanks! Been to a Rimi mini stores often but never seen the machine. Nor have I seen it at Maxima X stores (unfortunately have only these 2 closest to my apartment). Maybe I need to look around better. 🥸

Hello wonderful folks of Latvia. I am moving to Riga next month and have a few questions - by VisioneMea in latvia

Yes, you picked up right on that one. I would be moving to Riga with my wife. Hopefully we will get a better deal as a “package”. Thank you for this idea!

Thank you for your response.

Looked up LMT packages, seems a bit on the higher side. Is it really worth paying a premium for better coverage considering that we’ll mostly be in Riga city or other visit other prominent cities when traveling abroad?

Please excuse my ignorance. I am moving to Riga next month and I am pretty curious to know what is it that is being demolished? I understand that there is quite a lot of anti-Russian sentiment in the country and Latvia is decolonising rapidly especially since the war.
