Kaunas offers living costs even below Vilnius while maintaining genuine technical university standing, a reasonable trade-off for budget-conscious engineering applicants willing to study outside the capital.

Campus Life

Kaunas, Lithuania’s second-largest city, offers lower living costs than Vilnius with an established international student community.

International students generally have access to a dedicated international student office, orientation programming, and student clubs and societies. Housing options typically include on-campus or university-affiliated accommodation alongside private rental options; applicants should apply for housing as early as possible after accepting an offer, since availability varies by intake and city.
