Student of Bachelor's Program at Innopolis University (SPRING 2024, 2023-2024 AY)

Знакомство с Иннополисом

What exchange is for me? It's easier to say what it is not. I went in knowing that it would be a one-of-a-kind experience, and I ended up getting even more.

Did you know that Iranian people dry pancakes on lamps? (of course they are not) Or maybe it’s just my roommate. Regardless, what you truly gain is an amazing experience of meeting new people from completely different cultures and backgrounds.


The most amazing thing about China is the people. Not only are they extremely happy when they find out you are from Russia, but they are also generally very outgoing and talkative (though not in English, but there are exceptions). I exchanged gifts with one of my newfound Chinese friends; she sent me a gorgeous tea set. I even got introduced to modern Chinese meme culture, which is a little… unusual. It’s harder for Chinese people to learn English, which is why they a little disconnected from the outside world: they don’t follow trends, they create their own! This is something very special about China—they retain their own identity and culture.



As a foreigner, I often feel like I’m on another planet. There’s an ancient city almost in the middle of Beijing (the Forbidden City), a giant Buddha statue standing about 71 meters tall (the Leshan Giant Buddha), and mountains that Chinese Grandmas stroll up as morning exercise (there are many!). Each Chinese city I visit has something unique to offer.




Are you a lover of cute pandas? Chengdu is your place. Want to visit a city where skyscrapers grow instead of trees? Shanghai is ready to offer the highest observation point in the world. Want to get closer to Chinese history? Beijing, with its numerous parks, Ming tombs, and the Summer Palace, is a great choice.



Student life here is very dynamic. The Beijing Institute of Technology organizes many cool events. For instance, at the cultural festival, you have the opportunity to meet people from over 30 countries in just one day, taste their local food and drinks, play games, and more. How about an entire music concert? We had two—one in front of the lake where any student was welcome to perform. The second was much bigger; students filled the entire football field and enjoyed various Chinese bands.



You know that feeling when you’ve just watched something really good, and you want to forget it and watch it again and again? It’s the same here, but you don’t really want to forget it; you just want to repeat it because every time will be unique.

Lectures at <b>Sapienza University (Italy)</b> were engaging and containing complicated topics in an easy-to-understand form.<br> <br> I would recommend students who wish to go on an exchange program to take part in all possible activities which partner university can provide, visit the county of exchange, and make friends.<br>

Ananga Thapaliya

<p> Though my exchange at <b>Luxembourg University</b> was affected by COVID-19, I would still say it was amazing<br> </p>

Semen Kiselev

I had a chance to dive into the history of the foreign country. During the exchange at <b>METU (Turkey)</b>, I lived with friends and one of them was Turkish. This guy showed the key places in Ankara and gave a short review of modern Turkish history.  The brightest day of my exchange program was the day of Remembering Ataturk on 10th November at 9:05 AM when I met many people outside in a crowded street to see how the nation respects its father. 

Maksim Korsunov

<p> It was a warm spring night with cherry blossom trees around, I and 20 more exchange students at <b>KAIST (South Korea)</b> from all around the world met on the roof of the library to drink Korean soju and sing American songs. </p>

Kerim Kochekov

<p> I had a chance to study with Korean students at <b>Seoul National University (South Korea)</b> for a short term to see how hard they study in their university. </p>

I chose <b>METU</b> because of its reputation and high ranking in the area.

I chose <b>Seoul National University (South Korea)</b> mostly due to its high rankings and high quality of education that is recognized in Korea and worldwide.

<p> “I always wanted to go somewhere for an Exchange programme, but I was not sure where to go. Couple of weeks before the application deadline a new university was added - the university I have chosen as my first option - The ‘Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember’” - Adela Krylova  </p> <p> </p> <p> “Until the very last moment, I was not sure if I would go for an exchange. Initially, I chose 2 universities where I would like to go for an exchange. After the deadline for the forms came and all documents were submitted, I realised that I did not like my choice of the second university, so I was only left with the first one - ‘Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember’ or ITS.” - Roman Makarov </p>

Okonicha Ozioma Nenubari

<p> </p> <p> My time in ADA University (Baku, Azerbaijan) definitely exceeded my expectations. From the beautiful views of the city to the high academic standards of the university I loved my time there. </p> <p> ADA being the top university in Azerbaijan gave me the chance to interact with amazing people from all over the world, participate in cool events, conferences, concerts, charity and I even got to meet Koichi Wakata a renowned Japanese astronaut since the International Astronautical Congress took place in ADA. I especially loved the IEEE Women in Engineering Panel Discussion. I had previously written several papers in Innopolis and everyone knows getting your paper in IEEE is a big deal so being with these female pioneers in the field felt great. There are many other women driven events and clubs which I was a part of. </p> <br> <p> </p>
