## About

Klaipėda is Lithuania's main port city, smaller and quieter than Vilnius but with strong Baltic character and a growing service sector. Student costs are very low: shared housing €300–450/month, total monthly budget €550–700. The city is straightforward and less touristy than Vilnius, which appeals to students who want to focus on studies and local connections rather than nightlife.

## Strengths

- Affordable professional bachelor programs (€2,750–€3,600/year) in high-demand fields like nursing, IT, and business management
- Strong health and engineering programs with clear pathways to EU employment and further study
- Strategic location in Lithuania's second-largest city with active Erasmus+ exchanges and international collaborations

## Watch out for

- Only college-level (higher vocational) programs in English—no bachelor's degree or master's options, limiting pathways to higher qualifications within the same institution
- Klaipeda is Lithuania's smaller port city, less developed job market and student social scene compared to Vilnius; limited English-language services outside the college
