Study abroad in Lithuania

[Francoise Rosset]

Dear SEELANGers:

First, my thanks to the colleagues who responded to my question about
medical обращаемость.

Second, I'm back with another completely different query.

One of our students, a sophomore in second-year Russian, is
considering study abroad, both in Russia and in Lithuania (her
background is part Lithuanian, though she doesn't speak any.)
We've been looking through various, decent-looking websites,
and we're going to involve our Global Ed office -- but neither
Global Ed nor my student nor I have any experience. Someone
here might.

Any suggestions or recommendations would be immensely useful.

Has anyone on the list studied in Lithuania or sent an undergrad
to study there? She would study language and some form of area
studies, and is the latter possible with no Lithuanian?

Any recommendations on summer vs. semester study, again, not
in the U.S. but in Lithuania?

Does anyone know of American universities with such programs?
I found none on the AATSEEL list of programs for study abroad,
(the UCLA link does not include Lith. and it's not abroad anyway,
and the BALSSI programs are held in the U.S.) and very little
info via Google. That doesn't mean there isn't any.

On the other hand, does anyone have any experience with students
registering DIRECTLY with a Lithuanian institution? (I believe
funding and cost are an issue for this student).

Any reason for any caveats about health services? There is
a matter of a recurring medical condition.

Thank you all, again,
-FR
