  • Districts of Riga
    Districts of Riga RSU is located in “Dzirciems” district on the left bank of the River Daugava, or what we, the inhabitants of Riga call “The other side of the river” (Pārdaugava); however, the majority of RSU students choose to live on the right bank of the River Daugava. When looking for a flat to rent, you will be given an option to choose the region in Riga you are interested in. Below you will find our suggestions for picking a place to live. While the Centre in general can be advised, you can also look for other options either on the right or the left bank of the river. Please note that there are many other regions in Riga (see the map), but they are either too far away, or have very bad transport connections, so we are not listing them here.
