Table Tennis Tournament at VMU Dormitory No. 4: Sports, Community, and Smiles

At the beginning of May, a table tennis tournament took place at Vytautas Magnus University (VMU) Dormitory No. 4 (located at Studentų St. 1, Akademija, Kaunas District). The event brought together dormitory residents for an active and fun evening. With exciting matches, cheering spectators, and a friendly atmosphere, the tournament clearly demonstrated how such initiatives help foster a vibrant and engaged dormitory community.

Players were divided into groups, and the intense matches for the top spots were filled not only with competitive spirit but also with lots of laughter and good energy. As the tournament progressed, female residents joined in and competed in a separate women’s league. The event concluded with a symbolic awards ceremony, group photos, and a warm gathering to share impressions.

We extend our thanks to everyone who participated and helped organize the event – such activities strengthen bonds among residents, encourage involvement, and contribute to creating a welcoming living environment.

Easter at VMU Dormitory No. 8 – With a Detective Twist!

To celebrate Easter, Vytautas Magnus University’s Dormitory No. 8 (located at Studentų St. 5, Akademija, Kaunas district) was filled with festive cheer – the common areas were decorated with seasonal touches: Easter eggs, bunnies, and other spring-themed elements.

But the real fun began with a creative scavenger hunt that combined Easter vibes with a detective storyline – residents set off to uncover the identity of the “bunny killer.” To complete the challenge, participants had to follow clues, visit different rooms and dorm spaces, all while enjoying an atmosphere full of curiosity, laughter, and teamwork.

A big shout-out goes to resident Vilius, who took the initiative to organize the activity. He was supported by dormitory leader Auksė Abromaitytė.

Although this event wasn’t part of the annual activity plan, its success proved one thing – sometimes the best ideas are born spontaneously. The organizers are even considering bringing it back next year!

The Annual VMU Dormitory Life Survey is Now Open

We invite you to take part and share your opinion in the university-level survey “Evaluation of Accommodation Services Provided in Dormitories,” initiated by the Student Affairs Department (SAD). The aim of the survey is to understand the opinions of those living in VMU dormitories regarding the living conditions and services provided.

We encourage students residing in VMU dormitories in Kaunas, Akademija (Kaunas district), or Vilnius to actively participate in this year’s survey, express their opinions and suggestions, which will be taken into account when improving accommodation services. Don’t stay indifferent—take about 10 minutes of your time to contribute. The survey link has been sent to each student’s personal email address known to VMU.

The survey is open until May 15 of this year.
