Erasmus Student Network (ESN) is one of the biggest interdisciplinary student associations in Europe, founded in 1989 for supporting and developing student exchange. We are present in more than 430 Higher Education Institutions from 37 countries. The network is constantly developing and expanding. ESN is operating on three levels: Local, National and International. ESN works for the creation of a more mobile and flexible education environment by supporting and developing the student exchange from different levels, and providing an intercultural experience also to those students who cannot access a period abroad ("internationalisation at home") The main focus of ESN is placed on current exchange students, who often face problems (and feel abandoned) in their new environments. Therefore ESN offers help in academic, social and practical integration process. This is mainly done through activities in the local sections, which include cultural and social events such as trips to various places within the country, film nights, buddy group, language projects, international food fests and last, but not least, parties. In addition to that, many sections have introduced mentor systems, which help the international students mainly in academic and practical integration. ESNcard – prove your Erasmus identity!

Clubs/Places to dance Usually, entrance to the majority of clubs before midnight is for free. But don’t be so excited. Before going to the club – check the event and its description. Some clubs have strict face control, others – loose. In Lithuania not all security guys know how to distinguish famous clothing brands, so if you are wearing “Prada”, but security guys are not letting you in – don’t argue with them.
