New technologies – that’s great, and that’s exactly why I am studying Nanoelectronics at SPbPU. I wanted to go to Russia because this is a very big country with rich culture. I chose the city of Saint Petersburg because of the weather. I found such climate most agreeable. People here are very open-minded! Polytech had the very same major I wanted to pursue. The university has the best teachers and a lot of state-of-the-art laboratories and equipment. In my free time, I go to festivals such as “Golden Autumn” where I cheer my fellow citizens. Despite science being my vocation, I want to help people as a volunteer. During my years at SPbPU I have made a lot of friends not only from Russia but also from Sri Lanka, China, and Estonia.
