Mentor System

It is always not easy to go to study in abroad and to get used to the new environment, especially when cultural and other differences between your country and Lithuania as well as language barrier are significant. For this reason at Mykolas Romeris University we have launched Mentors’ programme to help foreign exchange students to adapt in the new environment. Since academic year 2006/2007 Mentors’ programme is organized by the Committee for International Relations of Students’ Representative Body where students working to ease some worries of students’ life.

Mentors are Lithuanian students volunteers – your contemporaries. Most of them already have been Erasmus students so we know with what kind of problems exchange students face and peculiarities of Erasmus traditions. All incoming exchange students get personal mentors which can answer most of the questions about life, entertainments and places to visit in Lithuania. They are helping for students to do all the necessary things:

• meeting arriving students at Vilnius International Airport, Bus or Train stations;
• housing in the Students’ House;
• finding a flat to rent if it is necessary;
• arranging documents for Migration Office;
• applying for LSP (Lithuanian student ID);
• paying for the dormitory or opening an account in the bank;
• solving health problems and etc.

Students’ Representative Body also organizes various entertainment events for all students and some special events for foreign students such as City Quiz, Sauna Party, X-mass Party, trips to neighboring countries, ect.

All of this is to make foreign students to feel more comfortable in Lithuania and to bring home the best memories about Erasmus studies at Mykolas Romeris University. You will meet your mentor during the Introductory week.
