My University

My University


My name is Alexey Ushakov. I’m 18 years old. I would like to say some words about my university. I live and study in Krasnodar. It is a large city in the southern Russia. It is located on the Kuban River and is the administrative center of Krasnodar region.
There are many universities and colleges in Krasnodar and the city is full of students. However, I chose to study in one of the biggest universities in the city, the Kuban State University. My branch is philology and I’m going to become a teacher of foreign languages. KubSU was founded in September 1920. Since then it has trained over 100,000 specialists, including a large number of foreign students. In 1994 KubSU was ranked by the Russian government as one of the leading institutions of higher education in the country.I am currently a student of this university and I’m proud of it. I know that many teenagers dream of studying here but the entrance exams are not easy.I had to study hard to become a student of this university. At the moment, I’m also a member of Student Union Committee and I take active part in everyday student life. Our Committee is responsible for the improvement of student facilities, coordinating such student events as concerts, sport events, fund-raising activities, volunteer work, etc.
KubSU is also a member of the European and Eurasian University Associations. That’s why we often have international conferences held at the university. There are also frequent international programs based on educational exchange. Last year, for example, I had a chance to go to England as a member of such exchange but I still had a couple of exams to pass. So, I decided to postpone this opportunity. I hope I can participate in this program next year.
