The university is perfect for three reasons: 1. BEST equipments. For science and engineering students there are no such analogs in Central Asia and Post-Soviet countries. The NU is well funded by the government therefore students have access to many high-quality resources (lab equipments, library, computers). 2. BEST students. The selection process is very challenging, therefore the university community is very intelligent. 3. HIGH standards. The university is young and very ambitious, therefore they put very high requirements (I studied in three different universities (two in Europe), so I can compare).
The drawbacks. Being a young university, NU is placed far in the rankings. It takes time to earn popularity. But even now, our graduates are all over the world, continuing their journeys in top universities and world companies.
