The acquaintance with the university ended with the decoration of the "Tree of Good Wishes".

"I liked absolutely everything. The excursion was very interesting, bright and everything was told in detail. I liked the ecological laboratories where we looked at mushrooms and fish. I am glad that I had such an opportunity to visit the university. My teacher and my victory in the Russian language Olympiad helped me to get here. I plan to enter law", - said senior schoolgirl Lala Mammadova from Azerbaijan.

"I really liked it here. There is a lot of new equipment at the university. We were told about everything by students who already work at the university. They tell very interesting stories, they are very smart. It is beautiful here, everyone is very friendly and welcoming. It is a pleasure to be here. I would like to enter a Russian university and after my visit I am considering YuSU to continue my studies. I want to enter a biochemistry-related field," - Alexandra Vartik, a high school student from the Republic of Moldova, shared her impressions.
