Meierovica bulvāris (at that time named Padomju bulvāris), in the building that was donated by the pre-war patron Kristaps Morbergs for educational purposes, the forerunner of the RSU – Rīga Medical Institute (RMI) opened its doors for the first time.

Academic life at university may at first feel difficult and with a lot of work (reading and writing papers) but in altogether it's good. The stuff is really open and actually is there to help, making you feel comfortable. The courses in program are relatable for program and are very modern.
Whole programme was really interesting, but the best part was when lectors was sharing with us experince they had.
Overall my experience has been good. Full of exciting opportunities and activities at the university. A constant source of growth in the field of education being promoted!
