🏠 Housing

450

How can someone find this place?
a contact
Would you recommend it?
As I was able to say, the place is really great, the apartment is not bad but I unfortunately came across some terrible roommates, and since the apartment is poorly insulated, it was quite annoying. I would recommend living there, but at least with a friend.
🍻 Social Life
What are some top bars, clubs, or events you recommend?
The social life there is not very hectic, but if we make good friends, we can still find fun things to do. As a nightclub, I recommend the Code Red. For the shot bars, all those in the center are the same. To go have a chill drink, the Cartel bar is cool and for the afternoon, it’s very nice to stroll in the mezza park.
🎓 Uni life at RISEBA
Which classes do you recommend… or not?
One can choose between two programs and I advise not to take the one for finance because the one for marketing has very few courses and they are all very simple (sometimes level first year).
Do you have some tips?
Between this university and that of LU, I advise RISEBA because they do not pay attention to the presence in class and this kind of thing. Afterwards, I personally met some very good friends at this university but I know that there are many more students in LU as well as more choices at the course level. But if you are not there to go to class, it’s better to go to RISEBA because you will always end up meeting those from LU with other occasions.

🌆 Riga vibe
What do you absolutely need to know to live your best life in Riga?
Life is frankly calm. You have to be ready to be cold and let it get dark late but it’s really hot. In addition, it allows to make lots of trips that we would never do while discovering Eastern Europe. I recommend going to all the Baltic countries and also to visit other cities in Latvia like Jurmala. Life is cheaper than in France but it’s not CHEAP either. And we must absolutely be careful that we can no longer buy alcohol after 8 PM on weekdays and 6 PM on weekends
