Thank you, University!

Before arriving to the University, I even didn’t think that it is so huge! It is like a small city, with it’s small population. You can walk to east or west through the University’s lands and anyway, you will find something new! You can even don’t get out from the Campus – everything you need is here. Constructions of buildings are very modern, moreover, there are cool inside as well – equipment of WULS is great! I just like atmosphere of the University, team of tutors of my faculty, students sitting on the floor... Girls here are the best! Lecture in WULS is a discussion with students, interesting presentations of material and ability to obtain good knowledge and do not forget it after 2 hours. I am very glad that I was so lucky to participate in EM in WULS! Thank you, University!
