See also http://www.lu.lv/eng/ for information in English, or http://www.lu.lv/ to get an impression of how much stuff is going on.

By the way... Latvia is here: <img:stuff/lv-eu-map.gif>

Most of the buildings (faculties, research facilities and dormitories) are scattered all over Riga (the capital city) - https://portal1.lu.lv/GIS/rigas_pilseta.jsp - so students aren't separated from "normal people" in their everyday life. That also results in 30-minute breaks between lectures to accomodate the students who don't spend the whole day in the same faculty.

Now, let's go on a virtual sightseeing tour...

The little observatory tower from the outside at night.

Two students' radio hosts in the studio. Their radio is quite successful, by the way.

<img:stuff/lu-bf-arch.jpg>

Archs and stairs in the Faculty of Biology, looking like something from Escher's artwork.

<img:stuff/lu-sp-trad.jpg>

Traditional and non-traditional sports events.

<img:stuff/lu-karc.jpg>

The old detention room in the attic of the main building. Charming, isn't it?

<img:stuff/lu-bg.jpg>

Some trees in the Botanical Garden.

<img:stuff/lu-arist.jpg>

Students' corporations at the Aristotle festival.

<img:stuff/lu-win.jpg>

The main building in winter.

<img:stuff/lu-fizm.jpg>

Proud students of the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics (that includes the Computer Science department).

I think it's a pretty nice place, overall :)

2005-12-22 [hedda]: If you write "I", then you should maybe write [Nita] too... ;-)

2005-12-22 [Nita]: Done :P

2005-12-23 [hedda]: Maybe it's better to have your name only at the quote? Now you have signed the entire page, so if someone else wants to add something to this page, they will feel uncomfortable with it.

2005-12-23 [Nita]: Well, I did write the entire page, and I want people to know who they should yell at if they don't like it.

2005-12-23 [hedda]: I'm yelling at you! ;-)

2005-12-23 [Nita]: I'd prefer everyone who contributes to sign the page, actually :)

2005-12-23 [hedda]: Well, that needed to be said, I think ;-)

2006-10-17 [Sunrose]: Why isn't there a picture of [Nita] at this university? ;P

2006-10-18 [hedda]: Yes, but she's taking the pictures...

2006-10-18 [Sunrose]: She could ask a friend to take a picture of her, a fellow student, or even someone passing by :P
