Student review [#18015]
for Computer Engineering and Informatics
at Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University - SPbPU
Saint Petersburg, Russia
This uni lets you balance all the aspects of your education in a way you want it. It regards all of it’s students equally, either you are a tryhard worker who spends every minute of his life studying (I’m not saying that’s a bad thing) or you just want to enjoy all the different social activities being in university provides you. Most of the professors are quite relaxed about their subject, so they won’t make you work hard if you don’t really want to. Of course, it is going to take a toll on your grades, but you will not be kicked out unless you give up on studying completely – but why would you go there in the first place then.
Also from what I have heard the university is quite high-regarded among employers, at least in Saint-Petersburg, so career prospects seem to be great, though I am still studying, so I can’t say for sure.
Accomodation is not bad, but is not great either, just what you would expect from an usual dormitory.
Student life is one of the greatest among all Russian universities, it really was one of the decisive factors i was considering when choosing where to get my degree.
The only thing that can be disappointing is that some of the facilities are too old and in the very bad conditions, though they are about to be repaired very soon.
Overall a great choice, would definitely recommend for anyone. Maybe try considering some other options if you want some scientific career, because the load is not as high, as in some other places, so if you want to really work hard every day, you may find the amount of studying insufficient, but that’s really not likely.
