Students' life is very interesting. Of course, first of all they should think of their future profession and do the best to become good specialists. The academic year begins in September and is over in June. There are two terms in the course of the academic year. Twice a year the students take tests, credits, and examinations. During the terms students have to attend lectures, to carry out laboratory tests and to do practical work. The students, who attend lectures regularly, usually pass their examinations more successfully. They get good and excellent marks and seldom fail. Many students make different experiments and carry on research work. 

But students years are not only learning, credits and exams. The students are involved into different amateur talent groups, groups of artistic creation. They are the chore "Narodne Dzherelo", dancing company "Perlyna Pollisya", female vocal group, solo-singing groups of variety songs, artistic reading, and dramatic group. Sport and physical training take an important place in students' life. The sportsmen of the institute are the winners of town and regional competitions in athletics, chess, basketball, and volleyball. Therefore, we are proud to be students of Nizhyn Agrotechical Institute.
