Classical education - outdated approaches
Kseniia F
Russia, Undergraduate
Philology, 2017
Overall
University provides a good theoretical basis in many subjects, but as far as I know, in most of programs you wouldn't be taught the latest information about a field. In my deprtment most of professors were quite conservative and used traditional teacheing approaches and technics, which is not very effective for people of my age. The good thing about it though, that all of us had to do a lot of self-education and also think out of the box to get good career opportunities after this education.

Final comments
going by plane is as expensive as by train - so fly! And don't forget to fill out the paper in the plane that you don't carry drugs, weapons, diamonds or other goods to declare.
