International Student Week concludes with Lunar New Year celebration

The Week, the first event of its kind, was warmly met by international students.

Ƶ hosts over 11 thousand international students, which is the second biggest number in this metric in Russia. Vice-Rector for International Affairs Timirkhan Alishev notes, “Our university welcomes students from over 100 countries. Overall, Tatarstan has 21 thousand such students. Which means that Ƶ teaches over half of them.”

The Institute of International Relations put forth the initiative of holding an international student week. Deputy Director of the Institute Albina Imamutdinova says, “We organized a large-scale event for the university. Adapting to life in Russia is a very important aspect of studying. Of course, involvement from senior mentors is also very important. Our International Office has a student adaptation unit, and the latter stepped up as a co-organizer.”

Jordanian student Ismail Lilian Ali shares her impressions of the Week, “I liked it very much, and I hope there will be more such events in the future. The most important thing is that students actively partook in it. For instance, I joined a competition in Russian language.”

Mongolian national Gantomor Zolboobayar Imim informs that he found new friends, “At a History Museum quest I really touched the past of our University. It was very exciting to solve riddles and make new acquaintances. We also had a lecture on Valentine’s Day traditions in different countries. And we tasted many national cuisines.”
