Wonderful university!!! There were no manipulations (as they write in the previous review) with the hostel. We just paid early and got a nice cozy room with new furniture. The hostel commandant is very welcoming. The teachers are demanding, but it's for the good. Excellent disciplines, for example, the History of St. Petersburg....
As a parent, I recommend a University with history. Good security and discipline

The idea of this institution is already given by its appearance: a dusty Soviet dorm, dark and cramped, without spaces for student communication, without a park, parking. The first place you get to is the admissions office (the most decent office in the building), where they will tell you anything, just to lure you to them. The management of this institution is concerned with only one issue: how to pretend to be a real university in order to drag it into your charade at any cost.
If persuaded, a real thrash begins for the student. The dean's office is outrageously rude, yelling and humiliating, there is complete confusion in the documentation.
Tuition fees are not fixed, and they can be raised several (!) times during the year without warning, and if you decide to deduct, the money will be refunded only by court decision.
The student environment is extremely vile: conversations only about who sleeps with whom, continuous quarrels and scandals – like in a primitive vocational school. In the corridors and the smoking room, there is a continuous mat and bullying of each other, as in some kind of ghetto.
Teachers are also not moral models: one of the current leaders allows himself to grope female students for seductive body parts, and even a collective lawsuit about numerous sexual harassment does not stop him. At the departments, teachers do not discuss scientific topics, but, like students, they gossip without taking their eyes off Instagram. Everyone is constantly writing denunciations against each other. Periodically, the vice-rector visits from St. Petersburg and arbitrarily begins to smash teachers, saving on salaries and firing a few real specialists. (For example: last year, some groups changed three English teachers per semester! And what could be more important than English?!) Therefore, ignorance and incompetence reign in the teaching environment. Most teachers put on an important air, but in fact they are primitive boors and swearers; they have not held books in their hands for decades, they do not even understand what they teach.
No one cares about the professional development of students: there are no applied circles, laboratories, business incubators. But that's not even the most important thing.
The learning process is in complete chaos. Curricula and work programs do not meet modern standards, but teachers do not even know them. Almost everyone works according to the Soviet model: they are forced to dictate incredibly outdated lectures (or copy them from a presentation where they copied them from Google) or chatter about their lives, and then set off attendance records. None of the teachers had even heard of the competence approach (not theoretical knowledge, but competitive skills). The only topic that "teachers" care about is class attendance, so if you decide to earn extra money while studying, prepare for problems.
Practice (and this is the most important thing) is generally arranged wildly, for show, it does not consolidate any skills and abilities. No one has conducted labor market research for the specialties declared by the branch and does not even know how to do it.
The main "feature" of this "university" is the transfer to St. Petersburg – the weakest point. Presenting a branch as an "escalator" to a Russian university is an unabashed lie: this process is going on with great interruptions. In St. Petersburg, the attitude towards Kazakhstani students is extremely negative (deservedly), they often do not allow diplomas to be defended, they easily "fill up" on defense, they are forced to teach other disciplines, they do not even talk seriously.
The hostel is tiny, and to get there, you need to pull off some incredible corruption scheme with the queen of the dorm – a hysterical Kazakh nationalist, ready to tear anyone to pieces if she got up on the wrong foot.
It's a complete scam: on stands, website, and promotional booklets.
This poorhouse is an ugly parody of a university, which can only impress a very rustic. Why come here? It is much cheaper and more promising to study at a real university in Chelyabinsk, Omsk, Novosibirsk – thanks to special benefits for students from Kazakhstan.

Not a bad university, there are good teachers! But there is a big huge minus, this is a woman who sits in the student council (Irina Gennadievna), she is rude at every opportunity, she does not even want to go there, because you know that you will come out of there in a bad mood, I hope this problem will be solved as soon as possible, because students pay a lot of money to the university and the appeal to students should be appropriate! In general, the university is not bad, but there are small flaws!
