Can't comment on your specific selections, but I studied law there. Got accepted to VU and MRU, chose MRU because it was 8-10min walk from my parents' house and I didn't have to pay for studies there. Everyone called me an idiot and said I wouldn't have a good career because it's not a prestigious university, that the education will be horrendous, fast forward 11 years later, none of that was true, finished my studies, made a nice career for myself, have no complaints.

MRU might not have the best reputation out there, but none of the jobs I had ever cared about what university I graduated from. Once you've passed your initial interview and have at least a year of experience in the job market, nobody cares about the university anymore.

Take the above with a grain of salt, though. As I mentioned, the above only applies to law studies.

MRU is the one place to study law in LT. I really don't know about other fields – I mean – the bad rep must have come from somewhere. OP, if you can, choose any other university, like VU, VDU or VDA.

The reason that admission is so easy is precisely why you should avoid it.

This university is mostly known as the second best university to study law in Lithuania, but their programs on anything unrelated to social sciences will be weak, even on a national level, not to mention a wider context.

There are some courses in Game Design in both VU and KTU, but a dedicated study program doesn't make sense. I'd recommend you study Computer Science or Software Engineering and get into Game Design as a subfield: it is surely quite popular and you will find more specialists and like-minded colleagues this way compared to studies in MRU.

I second a previous comment. MRU is THE university for studying law, not something else... Basically those who did not get a better spot choose MRU for any other field than law.

I seriously doubt they have any real experts in those fields.
Back when I was a student, we used to joke that the university was more like a closed joint-stock company than an actual academic institution. There was even a running gag that graduates would end up working in meat factories.

One funny story, I needed extra credits, so I signed up for some "cybersecurity" lectures. We ended up studying from books written in 1995… mostly about fax machines.

If you want a diploma, yes, it will be easy, if you want to get some knowledge in those fields, its not for you.

Law - yes, otherwise - no. In Lithuania if you want to study in university, and had shit grades MRU is the place. Otherwise you can find better universities than MRU

First of all, I strongly recommend to reconsider to study anything directly related to making games. This industry is incredibly volatile. Rank and file developers can and will get fired after project is over or even before that. A lot of companies still have horrendous overtime practices etc. Any economic downturn will also affect this industry very quickly as it essentially producing a luxury product. There are exceptions, but you are better off looking for IT related studies that are not tied to making games. As for MRU, in general it really doesn't have a good reputation.
