“I’m a student at International Black Sea University!” – I say these words proud and with enthusiasm, because studying here is a golden opportunity of self-realization and development. The main reason for enrolling at this university was a wide range of exchange programs, which it offers to its students, so that I knew I would be able to check if I can handle living abroad. Today I’m happy because I have made the right choice. Due to hard work and IBSU’s support I was able to study abroad. Now I feel more confident and motivated to do more thanks to this experience. And if somebody asked me how felt that half a year in Vilnius, I wouldn’t give a short answer. I would deeply inhale and start – laborious, interesting, fun and full of positive vibes! To be honest, I was confused when I arrived in Vilnius: unknown people, situations, surroundings…I couldn’t imagine how to adapt to those all, how to get used to being independent for those 6 months. But when I came to the dormitory all those questions disappeared…There was very pleasant friendly multicultural environment awaiting. Probably, you would be surprised if I say that it was not new to me, because in IBSU we had the same situation. Although I was studying hard in order to achieve desirable results, I had much fun, went on different excursions and events which didn’t let me feel upset or tired. I also acquainted myself with different cultures and introduced others to my homeland during my stay. All these things helped me make close friends with many people. As for excursions, they were very interesting and diverse. We visited different places not only inside, but also outside the country. To sum up, this exchange program gave me an unforgettable experience and thorough knowledge in my field, so I came back to Georgia even more self- confident, motivated and unstoppable! Attention! Attention! If your goal is to become a successful professional, I can tell you that IBSU is the best place to fulfill your ambitions! I wish you much success!
