On November, 16 a traditional meeting of international first year students and the administration of the University took place. The event was aimed at providing freshmen with up-to-date information about rules of stay in Russia, registration procedure, hostel rules and much more.

Viktor G. Okorokov, the Dean of the Faculty of Foreign Students, shared with the students some tips to succeed in their studies. Mariya V. Gordova, Head of the International Department, addressed the audience appealing for living in peace, mutual respect and understanding.

The first graders got Freshmen Guides to help them get used to the new surrounding. The brochure contains contact details of the University staff international students may need to get in touch with, migration rules interpreted in an easy-to-understand way, students’ duties and responsibilities, useful information about the city’s attractions and venues.

The meeting finished with a “question and answer” session.
