1. Is it cheap or cost living in latvia comparing to other European countries?
2. Can we find accommodation for low prices?  How much could be the cost approx.
3. How's the Education level in latvia?
4. Can we do part time jobs while studying? 
5. how much will be the gym membership? 
6. How much will be the ticket price from Riga to Milan, Italy?

Hope you guys will be kind enough to answer my these questions. 

Thanks a lot for taking time to read this.
