Student Ambassadors

You must be wondering “How can I find good part-time jobs in Estonia? Will it be flexible enough to fix my class schedule? How many hours I must work to have a decent upkeep? I don’t have a scholarship; will I be fine?”. If yes; I totally get you. Almost a year ago I was thinking the same thing. Back then, I wish I knew the tips and tricks that I am about to share to you. So, let’s get started.

This blog post was written by Marina Loch. Marina originally came to Estonia for the Erasmus exchange semester during her undergrad studies, but loved it so much that she is now doing Veterinary Medicine PhD at Estonian University of Life Sciences. Veterinary students spend many hours behind books and on farms, but they also have free time. What does Marina do in her spare time? How does she discover her Estonian-ness?

How often do you say - 'I am busy?' How many school events, career-advancing activities, or even regular fun stuff have you missed out on just because 'you have a lot to do?' Not that it's a bad thing to be busy, but it sure is a bad thing to be actively engaged without seeing positive outputs from that busy schedule.

Winter swimming or ice swimming means that you are voluntarily stepping into cold water at 0 degrees Celsius and swim there for a few seconds (or minutes if you are an experienced swimmer). Yes! You read correctly, you step into the ice-cold water of your own free will! Omar, Study in Estonia Ambassador got the invitation to go winter swimming in Noblessner port and he couldn’t refuse! And here is his experience.
