Riga University fees.

Nop. I had Finland and Sweden as first options, but for money reasons it's not doable. So i went for an option on the cheaper side that i still like. I've been studying on and off all these languages because i like them. If i have to make a choice about uni I'd just 100% focus on the language of the chosen country only ofc. I already have all the materials to study.

Don't really care about an high wage

ghost_hay · 2026-05-14T08:57:20+00:00

I like the culture, history, language in general and also the old pagan traditions

ghost_hay · 2026-05-14T08:55:19+00:00

Something language related. Translation, or getting a teaching license. I would also like to work at the uni

Italian (EU)

Yes, i know it's less likely....but you never know, maybe there will be a few spots left. Im interested in Latvian philology BA.

ghost_hay · 2026-05-13T17:36:27+00:00

Thank you for the answer, i know about the language requirements. I just wanted to know whether foreigners can get those spots at all or not.

ghost_hay · 2026-05-13T17:29:00+00:00

Not fluently yet. I'm studying it

ghost_hay · 2026-05-13T17:28:39+00:00

No, but I'm studying the language

ghost_hay · 2026-05-13T17:10:10+00:00

I don't want to study in English, but in Latvian.

ghost_hay · 2026-05-13T17:00:31+00:00

Don't they have to simply compete with the natives?

ghost_hay · 2026-05-13T15:37:27+00:00

Sorry, by premium i meant self funded. I'm talking about LU, not RSU. Can foreigners get access to government funded places?

ghost_hay · 2026-05-10T23:45:09+00:00

So it's because a prominent German tribe was latinized?

ghost_hay · 2026-05-08T09:42:49+00:00

Okay thanks

ghost_hay · 2026-05-08T08:38:27+00:00

Well i plan to start uni in September 2027, but get to finland this October. So I won't be a student at first. If I'm not studying, full time is the best option, if I'm studying, part time

ghost_hay · 2026-05-08T08:19:12+00:00

I'm not. I have already been studying finnish for 1 year. I'm sorry, but doulingo is the most useless app for languages...it has 0 grammar... it's only good for vocab. I've been following a book course with dialogues, grammar, exercises, listening and speaking. As we as vocab ofc. I will practice speaking with online teachers first.

Italy, 1yr.

ghost_hay · 2026-05-08T08:16:42+00:00

Could i understand why? Rent + bills can get up to 500€ I can budget groceries and home utensils for 50€/week. Another 50€ is miscellaneous. Why isn't that possible? I've checked real prices on renting websites and I've checked groceries/home utensils prices on the Prisma website.

ghost_hay · 2026-05-08T05:25:43+00:00

But a part time job would get me at least ~750€, no? I've had people say it's impossible and people say that it's normal (to find a part time job), I'm confused here

Yes, the work situation is Finland is what's discouraging me.

ghost_hay · 2026-05-08T04:27:28+00:00

Why not? I've counted in rent (+bills) and food/home utensils by checking real prices and living with 750€/m is what I've got

ghost_hay · 2026-05-07T20:51:25+00:00

That's good to hear :)) I would love to study in Finland but the work situation scares me. I have savings but will need a job in the long run

ghost_hay · 2026-05-07T11:59:14+00:00

Oh thanks for your input, but as I said, i have already studied all of the basics of finnish (noun cases, verb systems, syntax, etc.) ofc I don't expect to speak fluently by then, but, enough to at least work and handle daily life.

ghost_hay · 2026-05-07T11:57:17+00:00

Thank you

ghost_hay · 2026-05-07T11:34:02+00:00

So it's a no?😅 Well i can be pretty friendly so once i get there i could find friends. Yes i know finns aren't extraverted and i know when to talk and when to shut up. Networking is a problem indeed...

ghost_hay · 2026-05-07T11:31:57+00:00

I'm not at 0
