My University

I would like to express my opinion on the topic "My University”. It is a well-known fact that this year Perm State University is 90. It is a great date and in my composition I’ll try to give my opinion on my University.

Firstly, I would like to compare PSU with other universities of our city. It is considered to be the best university of our city and one of the best universities of our country. I realized that I should study there and my parents wanted me to enter it. Besides, my sister is the most vivid example what PSU can give to a person. Today she has interesting well-paid job, which is connected with her education. So, I didn’t doubt what university to choose and where to study. Now I’m a first-year student. I passed entrance exams and I study here. As for entrance exams-I had only one exam, but it was horrible…It wasn’t difficult, but it was so nervous. The first examination session, of course, was difficult. So, everything is known in the comparison. Frankly speaking, I simply didn’t know how to pass the exam, what to do and that’s why it was difficult. More than that now I realized that it is easier to enter the university than to study here, to try not to be expelled. Speaking of the Faculty of foreign languages and modern literatures-I can say that it is one of the most difficult faculties of our university. Most of the educational process is practical lessons. Usually groups consist of 10 person and it is very easy to see whoever is working or not. And it is also very easy if one plays truant too often. If you missed some classes it is not so simple to catch up with the program later, because practical lessons give much to a person and nobody is going to explain you new information again. I also think that every student must remember that in the university everybody treats like an adult and you should prove it and behave like an adult.

Concerning my lecturers-I find them great, because practically all of them are specialists who know more than one foreign language. Everyone has a good command of teaching. Each of them is different and we treat him/her differently. I think that it is the main thing in the university- we learn how to get on well with different people, who we have to communicate with practically every day.

Concerning my group I should say that everyone in my group is personality and that’s why it is very interesting to study in such a small group. You can get with people closer and you try to be on good terms with everyone. To tell the truth I get on well with everyone, but I have some people I spend more time with. We mix up in cinemas, caf?s and clubs. In general I should say that the university changed me and to be exact my intercourse completely. I get acquainted with many interesting people. As for me- it is very important because by nature I’m sociable and to mix up with people means to live for me.

As for the university building- I’m very glad that all the buildings are situated together and we don’t have to spend much time on moving from one building to another. The lecture-rooms of some buildings leave much to be desired, though now some buildings are under repair and maybe the lecture-rooms will be also repaired…who knows? Besides, I can note that in every building there is a snack bar, Xerox, clerical and book kiosk. Without any doubts it makes the life of every student easier. You can ask me if there is something that I don’t like in the University? Of course, there is one. I mean the PT lessons and the fact that we have to attend them for 3 years. To my mind it is needless, because if one really wants to go in for sport, he will do it, find the way to do it himself. So, you can see my attitude to the University and make sure that the Perm State University gives many opportunities to a person. I think that we should use them in full…
