The university certainly has a lot to offer in terms of the range of courses and extracurricular activities. However, certain behaviours presented by the staff, especially senior professors should not be acceptable in the modern world. As a female Mechanical Engineering student, I have experienced what one might expect from a post-Soviet country, dominated by the patriarchic mindset and church policies, which unfortunately were reflected in some of the classes. Luckily, the younger generation of teachers is slowly taking over and supporting everyone, as they should. The classes cover an enormous amount of knowledge, but offer very little practice in practical modern day engineering, which can be a setback in entry-level job experiences.

This university is disappointing for two reasons: administration and teachers. For administration there are many formalities required, that are making student’s life harder. And they often change rules and don’t communicate it. So basically every semester you may and up in a bad situation because of it.
Second, and far more important reasons is bad teaching. There are really few professors, who really care about teaching us something valuable. Most of them either don’t care at all, or even are happy when they can fail. This, combined with not well suited programme makes 3,5 year of studying kind of pointless and it’s not preparing us for working life
