A Guinean Student on Life and Studies in Russia: From the First Snow to Environmental Safety ❄️

Richard KONOMOU, a student at the Civil Engineering Institute, came from Guinea to study at Polytech in the program “Environmental Safety in Industry”. He shares his impressions:

“Before coming to Russia, I didn’t know any Russian at all, but the preparatory faculty helped me learn the basics and adapt to the new environment. My first impressions were positive; I knew that Russia is a country with a rich culture and strong science. But, of course, it was difficult to get through the first winter!”

Richard is studying for his Master’s degree on a Guinean state scholarship and plans to return to his country to develop environmental safety.

👀 Who are they – these “people in orange”?

The study year has already started and Polytech’s gathered students from all over the world under the same roof. So it is the time for tutors to tackle agenda and prepare for our international friends’ arrivals.

TutorForces SPbPU is a voluntary student association. 🧡
Their mission is to help international students soon settle down in their new university and tune themselves to life in Russia.

👋 What exactly does @tutorforcespoly do?
- meets international students right after their arrival at our city;
- helps with dormitory check-in and document execution;
- tells about life in Russia and Saint-Petersburg;
- organizes colourful events within Polytech as well as in collaboration with other universities.

They become true friends for international students and continue their communication beyond the university!
