At the end of October, I spent Halloween in Yagodnoe. It was a wonderful experience for me. It all started when I was invited to ITMO’s English speaking club by a friend I met in my intercultural communication class. When I attended the club for the first time, I found out that there was going to be a Halloween event at a place called Yagodnoe in about a month
The Russian Federation is one of the top education destinations for Vietnamese students who plan to study abroad. It is due to the strong and collaborative relationship between these two countries as well as the diversity of educational programs offered by Russian universities that makes it such a popular location to study.
Technology is changing the way we look at art but also the world’s conceptualization of processes, property, materials and hybridization. Artists who have been classically trained for fine or conceptual arts now need a multidisciplinary profile that aims to experiment with both worlds by merging them into the phygital realm.
After two years away from ITMO, I had a very special reunion with my intercultural communication teacher.
When you live in the most popular tourist destination in Russia, all your friends ask you one simple question: what do you recommend seeing? In my three years of living here, I developed a checklist which I will be happy to share with everyone.
Your dream student job is closer than it looks! If you want to challenge yourself you could try working on a project at one ITMO’s laboratories.
The twentieth century was the time of physics: Einstein's Theory of Relativity, great explorations in the field of celestial bodies and tiny nanoparticles, the invention of computing machines. All these discoveries breathed new life into other sciences, especially biology: the DNA structure study by J.Watson, F.Crick, M.Wilkins, and R.Franklin, the international Human Genome Project, modern treatments, etc. All these findings would have been impossible without physics. Breakthroughs in physics allowed biology to explore the world of cells and molecules. Therefore, there is an opinion that the century is the time of biology: hundreds or thousands of biological experiments and investigations are conducted every day. These research projects require knowledge in different fields and the work of multidisciplinary teams.
Recently I have caught myself thinking that my secret book with passwords contains over 100 entries. Trying to remember all of them is not an option. Most of them are extremely complex and look like some alien language, containing numbers, lower and upper case letters, symbols, etc. This book has become a real troublemaker for me. What will happen if I lose it? That would be a nightmare.
A warm summer wind flutters the graduation hat"s tassel. It’s time to say goodbye to the best 5-year experience of my life. It’s time to say goodbye to ITMO.
As a Russian student I can confirm that PE classes in our schools are considered optional by kids. Fake notes from the doctor, absence at the lessons, and "I forgot my uniform" are very common excuses. What about the rest of the world?
