I'm in the Red Library and my hands are freezing. That's because they deliberately don't heat the place to please Putin. There are a lot of people here who just want to study and have nothing to do with politics or solidarity. The university has very little money. Those who want to study here will soon be laughed at when they graduate. Invest your education in other places

I am still waiting for my diploma, 4 months after my thesis got graded. No information from the examination office, they only replied when I complained to the Rectorate (and then the Rectorate itself stopped responding). I've worked hard for 2 years for this and now I'm looking for a job, which is difficult because employers don't understand why I don't have my diploma yet when I've finished my Master's. I have never seen anything close to this dirt-level organisation. When I was still studying, there was a cyber attack and all the students' data was leaked to the dark web. Since then, I have received more spam emails and calls from shady telemarketers than usual. I am an international student and I do not recommend this university if you value your sanity. I don't know what else to do, as emailing and waiting doesn't work, I've decided to just let any potential international student know that they should consider other universities. Even if the students and professors are fantastic people, they cannot hide the train wreck that is this university.
