Uvindu Wijeweera, Sri Lanka. President of the Association of International Students

I decided to study in Russia for a few reasons. First, it was famous Russian classics that greatly influenced my decision. My parents had a lot of books by Russian writers such as Pushkin, Gogol, Dostoevsky, Tolstoy, Sholokhov. So, it was Russian literature and culture that shaped my worldview. I feel like Russian deep inside a little. Besides, my father studied in Russia in the 1970s. He was among the first Sri Lankan students who came to RUDN. Second, the histories of our countries have something in common.

I completed my Master's degree in Political Science and Sociology at SUSU Institute of Social Sciences and Humanities. I plan to embark on postgraduate studies at SUSU.

I chose Chelyabinsk as a study destination because it unites two different cultures of Europe and Asia. Students from different countries live in friendship here. I learn how to communicate with them and understand their mindset. That's useful to me as I plan to become a diplomat. When I came to SUSU, I got accommodation in dormitory № 3, where most foreigners live. But I wanted to master Russian as soon as possible, so I asked for accommodation in dormitory № 2, where Russian guys live. Now I have a lot of Russian friends, and I am so happy to live with them.

Yaro Abubakar, Côte d'Ivoire

I graduated from the Faculty of Psychology in my native country. For a while, I worked as a college teacher of human resources management. I always wanted to improve myself as a specialist, so I started searching for a university to complete my Master's degree. Finally, I chose SUSU. Now I am studying at the Higher School of Medical Biology, at the Psychology Faculty, majoring in Psychosocial and Psychological Counseling. During my studies, the teachers used some novel methods to teach my discipline. That's very interesting! I greatly respect my university teachers. I am interested in all subjects more or less. After completing my Master's degree, I plan to go back home and work at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or the Ministry of Internal Affairs. And, of course, I want to teach!

I like learning something new. I am a member of the South Ural Association of International Students. I try to take part in all events such as speaking club meetings, tours, and many others. I've made a lot of friends from all over the world, including students from different faculties, my fellow students, the university staff members. We spend weekends together and think up something new every time. For example, we cook Russian national dishes such as pelmeni (meat dumplings), borsch (beetroot soup), pancakes. They are delicious! In Chelyabinsk, I like its calm atmosphere and pine forest walks. Local people are very friendly. Many of them want to get acquainted with me, invite me over, be my friends and socialize with me.
