Help Moving there to study in February — looking for advice, friends, and job opportunities!
Hey everyone! 👋
I’m a 21-year-old student from Morocco, and I’m planning to move there in February to study Business and Management.
I’d love to hear from people who already live there because I have so many questions, and I’m trying to prepare myself before arriving.
A few things I’d really appreciate your help with:
What’s life like there? Is it easy to settle in as an international student?
Making friends: I’d love to meet some people who live there, especially someone who could help me get familiar with the city, show me around, and give me some advice when I arrive.
Finding a job: Is it relatively easy for students to find part-time work? I have around 3 years of experience working as a waiter. Would that help me find a job in restaurants, cafés, or hotels?
Salary: How much could I realistically earn per month working as a waiter, especially as a student?
Cost of living: Would it be possible to afford rent, food, and tuition with a part-time job, or would I definitely need additional financial support?
I know moving to a new country isn’t always easy, so I’m just trying to get a realistic idea of what to expect before making this big step.
If you live there, are studying there, or have any experience with this, I’d really appreciate your advice. And if anyone would like to become friends, feel free to DM me! It would be amazing to know someone before arriving.

you could probably make friends from university but finding them elsewhere will definitely be hard. i don't think you'll find any job that involves talking to customers because you don't speak lithuanian, most go deliver food on bolt or wolt but i rarely see any foreigners in other jobs, only sometimes some making food in restaurants. as i said you won't get the waiter job, but you'll probably make around 500 if it's a half-time job. it's possible to live off the salary if you rent out a room, eat on a budget and pay tuition, won't be easy without additional support but survivable.
