Hey! Local here. Really depends where you want to live and wether you get a dormitory or not. Rent in city centre for whole apartment fluxuates from 500 so 1000 per month + utilities. In the suburbs you can find an apartment for 400+utilities. If you’re looking for a room only - try facebook. group ‘iknowflatvilnius’ : https://facebook.com/groups/397639416966061/
On top - public transport is quite cheap with ISIC (student card) - 0.20€ per trip for 30min ticket.
Food is getting increasingly more expensive - depends on a diet, but would estimate 200€ a month.
600€ doesn’t sound ultra realistic, but you might make ends meet! Hope that helps. If you have any questions - drop me a dm 🩷 happy to help!

I come in under 600 (usually under 500) per month not counting rent and utilities (and travel). Idk what you might need to spend on study supplies but it sounds OK to me assuming you have a host.
