Program: Study Medicine in Latvia in English
I had such an incredible time with Medlink Students while navigating all the highs and lows of my journey to study medicine. Their team was super supportive and knowledgeable, guiding me through each step of the process. From helping me with the application and interview to giving me all the tips about living and studying abroad, they made what could’ve been a super stressful experience feel way more chill and exciting. Honestly, I really appreciate their dedication and professionalism and 100% recommend Medlink to anyone wanting to study medicine abroad!
Program: Riga: Russian as a Second Language
I had an amazing time during my 6 week study abroad in Riga! I wish I had stayed longer because I had just started to settle in when I realized I was halfway done with the program. I was placed in a really good living situation where I was able to meet other students from the school. The classes were very flexible with different students' levels of Russian. I ended up switching classes after my first week and I feel that I found a good fit. The school was definitely a place where you have to be outgoing if you want to meet people. The school didn't organize a ton of activities but everyone who was there at the same time as me was pretty social and also looking to meet new people. Overall, I would highly recommend this experience to anyone who is looking to improve their language skills. Being immersed in a homestay as well as in a country where the language is actually spoken was super beneficial. My Russian language skills were the best they had ever been while I was in Riga!
Program: Riga: Russian as a Second Language
This was my first time ever studying abroad and being so far overseas, and it was fantastic!! The entire process leading up to traveling was very clear and I felt supported through the whole program. The level of immersion was exactly what I was looking for, because I was afraid of my first experience abroad being too overwhelming, but my time in Riga was perfect! The living situation and host family was great and I clicked really well with the other SRAS students I was there with! I plan to continue with SRAS in the future for more study abroad experiences!
