Passed the exams, entered the university, it would seem that you can breathe freely. But already in August you start to think: how will it be there? How will classmates react? Are teachers strict, and how is studying at a university different from studying at school?
So, all the interesting things for you will begin on September 3, your first day at the university. Actually, this is the day X, starting from which you can use the advice of a wise fourth-year student.
old good jeans Or a new suit?
Knowledge Day is always a holiday for a freshman. In our university, on this occasion, a solemn event is held with the participation of the leadership of the university. Put on something smart: it guarantees you and others good mood. The Freshman General Assembly will be streamed on so friends and family can see you at the Temple of Science from the comfort of your home. By the way, the photographers of the editorial office of the RosNOU website are always on the alert, and you, so handsome and serious, will have a chance on the very first day to be featured on the main page of the RosNOU website.
What to bring?
A passport, a notepad for writing down everything important and interesting, and, if desired, a camera - after all, the first day at the university happens once in a lifetime.
Leave early?
Yes, if you do not want to waste already scarce nerve cells. Transport in Moscow is unpredictable, like jogging in the jungle (for example, in the morning at the exit of the Baumanskaya metro station there is often a “traffic jam”). And it will not be difficult to find RosNOU, the university is very conveniently located. Be careful, tram lines are being overhauled on Baumanskaya Street, so the routes of trams No. 37 and 50 have been changed. But Mosgortrans promises to repair everything by September 3rd. How to get there, see
Oh, the guard gets up early ...
Our guards are always on duty. So on September 3, they will let you into RosNOU, most likely without any documents. However, from September 4, entrance to the university building will be possible only with electronic passes (passes and student cards will be issued to you at the dean's office). Do not forget it at home, otherwise you will not get to the couples.
Famous Malachite
All solemn, cheerful, smart and important university events are held in the Malachite Hall, which was designed by the great Soviet aircraft designer Andrei Tupolev. This is where the celebration will take place. dedicated to the day Knowledge, therefore, upon entering the university, immediately go to the 7th floor and take one of the comfortable chairs in the hall.
Rector and all-all-all
The speech of the leadership is the most serious part of the Day of Knowledge. Listen carefully, shake your mouth. And write it down! No wonder you dragged a notebook ....
All points abovei
After the general meeting, you, along with the freshmen of your faculty, will go to a meeting with the dean and deputy deans. During the conversation, you will find out everything (after all, you are already a student, and you can be trusted) and you will receive a student ID card and a RosNOU pass.
Where does childhood go?
Bye bye school! At universities on September 3, everyone is studying, even freshmen. Therefore, as soon as the solemn event in Malakhitovo ends and no less solemn conversation with the dean, you will have to go to class. See below for details on your schedule.
Tick-tock or all about the schedule
Where can I see the timetable?
At the information stands of your faculty
In order to find out the audience in which the classes will be held, look at the schedule on the stand, every day the room number is indicated there. The first digit of the auditorium number indicates the floor. For example, room 704 is the seventh floor, room 330 is the third floor, and so on.
Also in the schedule there are the following abbreviations: L - lesson-lecture; С - workshop-seminar; P (or PZ) - a practical lesson. If on any of the days there is nothing in the box opposite the subject, then there will be no classes in this subject.
Lesson time:
Full-time education
1st couple: 9:00 – 10:30
2nd couple: 10:35 – 12:05
3rd couple: 12:30 – 14:05
4th couple: 14:05 – 15:35
5th couple: 16:00 – 17:30
6th couple: 17:35 – 18:55
part-time (evening) form of education
19:00 – 20:20, 20:30 – 21:30
Don't be scared, this does not mean that your classes will be held every day from 9:00 to 18:55. The first course usually has 4 pairs per day, but classes do not always start at 9 ... sometimes, for example, from 12.
Where to get textbooks?
Most textbooks will be given to you at the library from 3 to 15 September (the exact date will be announced by your dean's office). On this day, take a bag or package with you (in case you still forget, there is a stationery kiosk on the 1st floor).
How many notebooks do I need, and in general, is it worth recording lectures?
As an experienced student, I can give advice: instead of a bunch of notebooks, buy better blocks. This is such a plump (but one) notebook with dividers for different subjects. For example, 14 items need only 2 blocks. Also, if you wish, you can bring a laptop or tablet, but only if you really will record lectures, and not play Warcraft or Angry Birds. Whether to record lectures at all - decide for yourself. This is not a school, so no one forces you to write, but preparing for the exam is more convenient for those who still have lectures.
Carefully! English testing
Usually to study foreign language students are divided into two groups according to the level of knowledge. Testing has been running since September 3, you can repeat something before that ... for example, english alphabet- useful.
Headman - a botanist or the soul of the company?
On the first day of school, you will face a rather important task - to choose the head of the group. It's not as easy as it seems. The headman should become a responsible, sociable person, because all information and organizational matters, which in the early days, oh, how many, will fall on him. But the headman has opportunities that other guys do not have. Choose wisely.
Late? Late... Late!
Being late is bad. Oh no no no. But if it suddenly happened, it's okay - try to quietly enter the audience, and if the teacher nevertheless paid attention to you, smile sweetly and apologize, then everything will definitely be fine. More likely.
Dedicate, dedicate, dedicate, dedicate!
Dedication to students. This intriguing event, of course, awaits you too, dear freshman. The holiday will be prepared by senior students of your faculty together with the dean’s office, but you, the heroes of the occasion, will also have to prepare a “business card” to show the entire faculty how young, cheerful, cool and talented you are. Get ready.
session and second chance
Yes, right after the initiation, you can start thinking about it. Students full-time training two sessions in academic year: winter (December-January) and summer (May-June). In the event that you do not pass any exam or test, you have a “second chance” - a retake. True, it is already paid educational service. Retaking the test - 300 rubles, retaking the exam - 500 rubles. And keep in mind - you can’t retake it indefinitely.
5 minutes before the seminar or RosNOU Wi-Fi
RosNOU is a university of advanced technologies, so, of course, we have Wi-Fi, and it's FREE. The password is qwerty2012. Sometimes with the help of this feature, particularly smart students find the abstract 5 minutes before the seminar. Be careful - it's addictive!
Who eats well, he studies well!
Verified by students. For these purposes, RosNOU has a student cafe (hall on the 1st floor) and a dining room (after entering the university, immediately to the right). I remind you that the dining room is located in front of the turnstiles, so when going there from the audience, do not forget to take your electronic pass with you, otherwise it will be very difficult to enter back - you will have to convince the guards that you are you.
Dr. Aibolit and "Cardiocode"
RosNOU cares about its students, and even more so about their health. A modern medical center is equipped on the 1st floor, everything is there - from valerian to the modern Cardiocode device.
Don't worry, freshman, a lot of interesting things are waiting for you!
Well, that's probably all that is useful to you in the first days of study. Good luck and don't be afraid. And if you have any questions, employees of the PR department of RosNOU are always waiting for you in office 217-3.
Here comes the long-awaited happy moment for a recent graduate high school- began classes at the university. But how to behave in the first year as a new student? What to pay attention to? How to avoid annoying mistakes and not be expelled after the first session? How to make the most of the next four to six years of study?
- Immediately clearly say to myself: I am responsible for myself, for my present and future. Be fully responsible for your duties and the opportunities that open up in connection with the admission. Now the demand will be from the new student, and not from the parents. I can’t, it won’t work out, too much needs to be studied in a short time, and so on in the same vein - this is the mood of yesterday’s schoolboy. And a freshman is an adult and should be able to quickly reorganize and try to absorb the necessary information in huge volumes, like a sponge.
- Do not relax, from the first day actively engage in serious study. There is no time to swing, get used to, get involved in a new learning process. Every day to learn, to understand the incomprehensible, to seek Additional information. Only at a university can you fully devote your time to education and becoming a successful professional. Libraries should become a second home.
- Find out what additional opportunities the university provides to improve the level of education (learn another language, prepare to pass it for an international certificate, etc.). Usually there are numerous courses, electives, scientific societies, seminars allowing the student to grow intellectually and professionally.
- Conscientiously attend lectures, listen carefully, write down. Someone will be surprised why talk about something that goes without saying. Then, that some come to sleep after a stormy holiday or to do their "important" business. Some manage to check in and leave during the break. The question is, why did you go to university? To relax, to brag about the number of absenteeism?
- Prepare well for seminars practical work, take in them Active participation. In such classes, a freshman has the opportunity to show his zeal in striving to master the profession, individuality, maturity of thinking, views, the ability to acquire new knowledge, analyze and present it, and apply it in action. Actively draw up your achievements in articles, scientific abstracts, print.
- Learn in detail about the rules of conduct, traditions established at the university, and observe them.
- Show initiative, actively participate in non-educational activities of the university: chess tournaments, sports competitions, creative student associations.
- In every possible way try to establish friendly relations with classmates, communicate, help, if asked. These are people of the same profession, which means future partners and competitors. Therefore, it is important to establish constructive, friendly relations with them.
- Set the right goals. Successfully passing a test, a session is not a goal, but rather a confirmation of the seriousness of the student's intentions to become an excellent specialist. Goals should be large-scale, long-term, working for a successful future, for example, to get as much as possible a variety of knowledge in the profession, to undergo an internship at a modern association, factory, etc.
- Carefully analyze possible promising enterprises, associations, organizations where one could get a job already while studying at a university. Let it be part-time or even free - but there is an opportunity to acquire invaluable knowledge, practical skills, skills that will then help you quickly get used to the profession, as well as make useful contacts. It is possible that after graduation it will be interesting to stay and work there.
The first course is very responsible, interesting, intense. It must be endured with dignity.
Living in a hostel is fraught with a certain flavor that will make your student years unforgettable. Well, the difficulties that you will definitely have to face, you can easily overcome if you carefully read this article. Today we will tell you how to adapt to the new conditions of life and give you some universal tips, thanks to which you will quickly get used to the new status of a student.
First time after admission to the institute yesterday's schoolchildren are jumping for happiness. But as the first of September approaches, they begin to be seized by an unsettling excitement. After all, a university is not a school, and for poor progress, parents are not called here, but simply expelled. Frightens young people and the upcoming "saturation" of tapes. It seems that they have to spend the day and night at the institute.
And if you can still somehow cope with the intensity of the study schedule (well, in fact, there were also busy days at school when you had to sleep only a couple of hours a day), then many first-year students perceive moving to an unfamiliar city and the prospect of living in a hostel with horror. However, do not rush to panic. Living in a hostel is fraught with a certain flavor that will make your student years unforgettable.
Well, the difficulties that you will definitely have to face, you can easily overcome if you carefully read this article. Today we will tell you how to adapt to the new conditions of life and give you some universal tips, thanks to which you will quickly get used to the new status of a student.
What freshmen need to know
Let's start with a few universal tips to help you get through first year university with minimal losses.
Now, let's burn about living in a student hostel.
Virtual expedition to the hostel
After so many spent nerves, efforts, maybe even tears, exams and admission are left behind, I want to relax and enjoy the well-deserved and long-awaited summer vacation. And this can be done if you study in your hometown, and live in the familiar environment of your home. If you have to move to another city and have a fun life in a hostel, then it's time to learn more about your future temporary home. And for this it is not at all necessary to personally go to the hostel.
Almost all modern universities have their own website, where information is necessarily indicated for those who need a hostel. In the relevant sections, as a rule, you can find not only "business" information: important names and questions about orders, certificates and lists. Photos are posted quite often. hostels, their interior rooms and corridors. Therefore, you can find out exactly how your new home will look like without leaving your home, and thus not become a victim of deceived expectations.
In addition, to find out about the real state of things, you can try to contact the current tenants through social media. Talk to them closer, and they will be happy to answer all questions about the settlement and internal regulations, tell you more about the situation. If you are lucky, you can even find neighbors in advance.
Basket, box, carton...
What should be brought from home, what is best to buy on the spot, and what is generally better to say goodbye to better times?
First of all, a lot depends on the distance. If you need to travel about 700 km by train, then a lot of luggage, of course. You won't take it with you. If you have to cover only 150 km and even in your car, then you can certainly afford a lot more. But do not forget that you will live with your neighbors, and there is not so much space in the room.
Take only the essentials, it is foolish to carry in advance what is sold in a nearby store. A minimum of dishes, linen, clothes and books, ideally everything should fit in one travel suitcase. It is better to grab a small first aid kit as well. For study, you can purchase a convenient portable gadget: a tablet or laptop.
The "base" (mattress, pillow, blanket), as a rule, is given out on the spot. With rare exceptions, you will also receive a kettle and bed linen already in the hostel. Do not worry about heavy equipment like a refrigerator and a microwave oven either: perhaps you will be accommodated in students senior courses, where everything will already be there or, most likely, a “legacy” will be waiting for you in the room. In the most extreme case, you can buy equipment in pool (sharing the purchase price with your neighbors) - both cheaper and more reasonable.
Clearly prioritize
When you go to a hostel, it is advisable to know in advance exactly what you want. You go there to make friends, or study hard, or become independent, or just relax and walk - depending on your priorities, look for solidarity neighbors. Thus, it will be easier for you to furnish the room in your own way, and then avoid scandals.
But in any case, remember, the hostel is a noisy place, so you will have to put up with some things that you cannot change. Get used to night vigils behind the wall, fun parties and a little litter around. The ability to get along with people and patience is what will be most useful to you.
Arrange your world!
You come to the hostel not for one day and not for one week. From now on, this is your home. Keep your new home clean, because independence implies not only independence from parents, but also increased responsibility. Create coziness around you: hang hooks under clothes, arrange your favorite photos and toys on the shelves. Everything can be arranged simply, but tastefully. Love your new home and be ready to improve it day by day. Then and studying at the university will not seem so difficult, and the absence of caring parents who are ready to support in any difficult situation will not be perceived so catastrophically.
Communicate constantly. One thing you'll learn at university, if you haven't already, is that friends don't necessarily make themselves. Interact with people, talk, ask questions. Do it within reason, of course. If you are interested in people, they will show interest in you. The best time to start this is during Freshman Week when everyone is in the same boat and actively looking for people to be friends with.
Chat with your roommates. This doesn't mean you have to be best friends with them, but keep in mind that you're together almost 24/7 and share a kitchen/common wall. Bad relationships with flatmates bring your whole apartment down, so do your best, even if you don't like them very much, to include yourself and them in activities such as walking, shopping, gym, etc. There will be times when you get mad at one of your roommates for drinking your milk, or at another for not washing your bowl after use, but being on good terms can be helpful.
Do not allow yourself to spend all the money while walking. You are a university student, of course you want to go out! But keep in mind that finances are one factor, and bars aren't going anywhere. As cheap as college campus drinks may seem, if you add up all those purchases, you run the risk of falling into debt, or perhaps not being able to afford essential purchases such as groceries and paying bills. Drinking can be a well-known student pastime, but be aware of other recreational options available to you, such as the gym, societies and club meetings.
Hide food and utensils away. This may seem a bit extreme, but in my experience, it's for the best. Just remember that most of the time your flatmates won't take food maliciously, only when they just ran out of milk and they decided to drink some of yours, or someone came home very hungover and ate your mom's delicious lasagna, taking from refrigerator. Many universities expected this problem, and cabinets come with lock holes on the doors. By blocking your food and dishes, you save food, money, time, energy and dishwashing.
Develop a smart coping strategy. Most people who have considered going to university fall into three categories: 1) they can't wait to get away from their parents, 2) they're afraid to leave the comfort of their own home, and 3) they're nervous and anxious. These are all perfectly normal and acceptable feelings. Chances are you'll be homesick from time to time, especially if something negative is going on, like the stress of working too hard, having a fight with a friend, or being worried about money. Remember that your parents will be thinking about you and will be more than happy to talk to you if you need help or advice. Some may find that regular calls/house visits are therapeutic in helping to cope with separation, while others may find that limited contact stops them from thinking about home. Formulate a smart strategy that works for you and helps you stay productive and happy. First of all, make sure you're busy.
Don't leave all your work to the last minute. This may seem very tempting as you will have long deadlines, sometimes a couple of months, as well as extended holidays (also sometimes a month), but the deadline will soon start to quickly approach. A very useful strategy, although a little boring, is to get the job done as soon as you get it, or as soon as possible thereafter. That way, the notes are still fresh in your head, and you'll have more time to play after you've finished and won't worry about that essay you were supposed to start a week ago.
Do not turn on the nocturnal lifestyle. It's also very tempting because you won't have a parent whining that you have to go to bed at a reasonable time. Either way, you have to set up your own sleep, but getting to the point where you go to bed at 6am and wake up at 4pm is just too ridiculous. University is fun but hard; give your body everything else it needs and the rest will follow.
Don't be afraid to raise a question or ask for help. A university is very different from a school and a college. The learning styles are different, the work is harder and you are expected to develop your own way of learning. In fact, you will learn much more on your own than under the guidance of a teacher. Teachers understand that it takes time and patience to adjust to this state of affairs, so if you don't understand something, ask them. It won't make you look stupid as if you weren't listening, in fact, you'll be smarter because you will know exactly what is expected of you and how to do it, unlike a classmate who decides to fall asleep during a lecture rather than follow it.
