Знакомство с Иннополисом

I chose three courses. The program turned out to be quite intense. The Machine Learning course had very interesting tasks for building generative adversarial and convolutional neural networks. I have spent many hours figuring out how it works and have enjoyed it. At one of the exams, we were to pitch our startup to the team among the shareholders, played by the rest of the students of the group. My team and I won a second prize.

Dormitories at the University are very convenient. Students do not need to spend time on the road and the life is convenient. I liked the fact that every room has a bathroom and a kitchen. In the summer, the air conditioner saved us. Cleaning every 10 days is generally magic. Upon arrival home, I will also change bedding every 10 days, Innopolis taught me that. Fast Internet is very important for IT people. There are vending machines in case you want to buy something at night when the shops are closed. The access to the campus is 24/7. No need to worry about not being able to get in campus on time or having to explain why you are so late. However, the sound insulation could be improved. Innopolis University looks like something alien and futuristic. There is a lot of free space where you can work around the clock.

This is not my first time in Russia. I used to come here as a child, but to the southern part. Tatarstan for me turned out to be something different from the rest of Russia. Due to the similarities between the Kazakh and Tatar culture Tatarstan turned out to be closer to me. 

Innopolis is a very modern city. The average age of residents is 31 years. Most of them have an IT education. There is no crime here, communication between the authorities and residents is via messengers, and, most importantly, people’s opinion matters. For example, when the dog walking area was opened, the residents were the ones to come up with the idea of its name.

Summing up: Innopolis has become my home for so many months, there is everything for a comfortable life, and in the future, passing by, I will definitely come here again :)
