Oh, it was more than worthwhile. It encouraged me to continue to explore the world later in life, to always keep my eyes open, and to live everyday at its fullest. Karlene G - Nebraska Wesleyan University View Entire Review
There are no words that could ever truly reveal what I was able to get out of my study abroad experience. I do know that I am a better person for it and have a clearer vision for myself and for my career. Maggie P - Nebraska Wesleyan University View Entire Review

The Latvian intelligentsia was educated mainly at the universities of Tartu (Estonia) and St. Petersburg.

The University of Latvia was established in 1919, when Latvia first become independent from Russia; it used the facilities and staff of the Riga Polytechnic.
