Riga ratings & opinions
How our students rated their experience in Riga
What our students said about Riga
Riga surpassed my expectations of what a small European town would be like. If you want a good mixture of small town living with access to big city life (without the craziness of huge tourist crowds), then Riga is the place to go!!
I don't like lists like that. I think Riga is a beautiful, pleasant city. I have already spent time there twice with great pleasure.
As a metropolis in the Baltics, Riga is of course more expensive than the surrounding area, but it has a lot to offer.
Riga is a great town for studying or touristic activities!
What language school directors said about Riga

I have been to the Baltics many times, but the language course gave me additional insights into the country and its people. It was a nice and very productive time in Riga.
