• Impressions, Expectations and How It’s Really Like

  …tional office, in those couple of months before the exchange. My predictions about the Russian bureaucracy turned out to be wrong. Everything went extremely well, and I really want to give the merit of that to the international office staff — they deserve it. After arriving to the city and while doing the obligatory official tasks, student tutors have been helping…

• New adventure in Russia? Welcome on board!

  … arrive…etc. Before freaking out, reach out to the foreign students department at the university through their website. Find out who is the boss and send as many emails as you want. I believe emails are better than calls because they will reply to you calmly when they get the chance to. And to be honest, their English is better written than spoken. Don't be afraid to…

• Unexpected Pleasures

  …s quite odd, because the things are going their own way, the world spins around the sun, not around a human being, so why plan too much and make too many expectations? I don't want to be misunderstood, I'm not pretending to be a broken man without any expectations in life, but I vote for a much lighter way of taking expectations and hopes into account than lots of us…

• Turn and Face the Strange

  …nners of dialogue, my first persistence of this words was negative. I wondered, am I that stuck on the point I used to be years ago? A bit later I got a paradox: we all want to remain the same youth passion for the life and ardor in the lifestyle, but apart from that we still want to change ourselves to have a personal growth. An…

• Here I am again

  …xcited about these innovations in my life, but I am trying to admit them. Right now I am close to the first chapter of this post, the thesis of which is old but gold — "If you want to be more than what you are today, you should leave your comfort zone". There's nothing new here, but I want to remind everyone who reads this. The further …

• Hello, world!

  …g as they do here, in Barca. It relates to communications, networks, but also the geoinformatic field. Let it be a short intro, there shall be more words about it, but I don't want to focus on studies now. Outside the University, there are plenty of things that I am interested in. For instance, I am interested in cars starting from my early childhood. I've learned…

• Life of a German Student

  …th a university organization required the least amount of paperwork. I got the job of a dishwasher in the canteen. It was a perfect job for me. I could choose the dates when I wanted work and it was not a hard job. I just had to put the dishes in the washing machine and clean the kitchen after the work. It was relaxing and the salary was enough to support my living, …

• When the lectures have come to an end

  …ope for the best. I assume that this might be connected to an enormous amount of students, taking part in the exam simultaneously. All in all, you have to study a lot, if you want to pass an exam. There might be the point about mentality differences, meaning that German students can organize themselves much better than Russian ones. I wasn’t easy for me to get throu…

• The semester at the foreign university is not only about studying

  …sonally visited "language cafe". It is a place, where exchange students come and talk to each other in different languages. In my opinion, it is a nice option for persons, who want to become more confident in terms of the foreign language. Furthermore, you can easily make new friends there. I have broadened my horizons by speaking to people, who live in different for…

• Comparing student unions — the case of ITMO and University of Helsinki

  …t organizations (because it can be a lot of work at times). Asking the members of the International Student Council here in ITMO about their motivation, they told me that they wanted to help other students to adapt and also to develop their own skills in organizational work. These are the main reasons for Finnish students to apply for positions in student councils as…
