If you are talking about finding accommodation that you are paying for - then absolutely NO.

You cook and eat whatever you want at home or you go to eat somewhere whatever you want. Are you asking about national dishes ? Then you can read it here :

Is it good to eat out in Vilnius? Can you tell us your favourite spots?

It is never good to eat out, especially at this season, because it is cold. You should always eat inside. I like to eat when it is not so cold at this place :

This park was built during soviet era over old cemetary. It is called Reformats parks. Some underground artists even created songs and pieces about it and the idea it carries. The best place in Vilnius to have a party outside :)

Is the nightlife good in Vilnius? Where is good to go?

I already told you, but I'm willing to share another pretty nifty spot... This place :

And NO, it is not Lenin. It is our local artist and author. You just go upstairs and find a place suitable for you to chill, it is also surrounded by thick leaves so you won't get hot during summer time. Second best place in Vilnius center. Don't forget beer and vodka to fulfill your dreams fully.

What advice would you give future students heading to Vilnius?

It also depends on the student type. Be cool and Do as I say, not as I do. Cheers and have fun in Vilnius.
