The University provides some extra help and full assistance to students who are having difficulties with their studies. Teachers offer extra remedial tutorials in core subjects, help with academic work such as writing assignments and examination technique, as well as personal counseling and assist students in developing good study skills so that that student’s time in the university will be productive and rewarding. Tuition incorporates several modes of teaching, including lectures, tutorials as well as practical sessions in computer and language laboratories. Students are required to undertake self-study outside formal classes at least equal in time to the number of hours of formal classes per week.
Currently the university is one of the largest educational and scientific centers in Siberia with long-standing cultural and military traditions. It is also unique for its expressive architecture and historical background. The University Museums preserve and share historical spirit with new coming generations. The library and a Book museum attached to it occupy the area of some 3000 square metres and provide Web-access and services for students, lecturers and many railway specialists. The classrooms and computer workshops are modern and spacious. It is a very comfortable and sophisticated learning environment, conveniently located at the STU campus. Students have access to computers both in class and after class and to Internet. All students receive a STU student card and can use the university library, and other STU student facilities, including the sports centres.
STU is fully brought to life by the lively students’ extracurricular activities, for instance in music and spot, which add that colourful and vital variety and is the spice of campus life. Student life within the University is characterized by a plethora of different theatre groups (the drama studio “Sphera”, the dance theatre “Imperia”, short play theatre “Factorial”, etc.), the Club for Cheerful and Inquisitive, the University choir and the Drawing and painting studio where students apply their artistic talents. Many cities, towns and small settlements along the West-Siberian Railway greeted STU Show-train. Student Leisure Centre regularly organises a wide range of leisure activities, concerts, shows, celebrations and discos. Sports Centre develops various kinds of sports: track-and-field, ski racing, skating, swimming, basketball, volleyball, lawn tennis, chess, aerobics, even judo and sambo wrestling, weight lifting, biathlon and mountain climbing. STU has all the facilities for sports: open-air stadium, 2 skiing centres, special premises for sport games, Physical Education classes. A new gym with a swimming pool is being built.
Established in 1939, the military sports relay is one of the oldest STU traditions and still remains a significant event. Among its participants were Victor Mamatov, the Olympic biathlon champion, Anatoliy Lepeshkin, world skating ex-champion and many others. Another STU tradition is taking part in the track-and-field relay in memory of A. Pokryshkin, three times USSR hero.
Sporting, cultural and social events and entertainments both on and off campus take place all year round and students can also enjoy after class activities as a way of making new friends or to pursue new interests. If I were ever asked for a recommendation on a place to study, STU would always be my first suggestion.
