Ngantsele Miet Pishel Dorsia, Congo. The third-year student at the Faculty of Chemical Engineering and Ecology

I entered Gubkin University within the Russian Government quota. But before I was admitted, I had studied Russian at the preparatory department in Nizhny Novgorod.

My future profession is ecology. This field of study is popular almost all over the world. Now I am studying a lot of chemistry disciplines. To make progress, I have to pore over my textbooks.

The university offers plenty of interesting things, for example, student life. I couldn't even imagine how diverse student life is: festivals and competitions, outdoor events. I am going to take part in the Oil Queen contest. 

Russian is very difficult. But if you master it, you'll have great opportunities.
