Our University and my studies

I finished high school and after the entrance examinations

I entered M.Akmulla Bashkir State Pedagogical University (named after M.Akmulla). I am a first-year student. I study at the Faculty of Fine Arts and Design, the Fine Arts Department. There are thirty students in my group. My friend is the monitor of our group.

Our University is very large and has ten buildings. There are five institutes and seven faculties in it. There are six floors in the main building of our Institute. In front of this building there is a monument to the great poet and teacher Miftakheddin Akmulla.

There are a lot of classrooms and lecture-halls in our University. There is a dining-hall near the dean's office. We listen to lectures and have classes in Drawing, Painting, the Russian Language, the Bashkir Language, the English Language, Physical Training and some other subjects. The reading-room and the library in our University are on the ground floor. First-year students prepare their homework, write, read and do their exercises. Final-year students work in the reading room at their graduation projects. The librarians help the students to choose the necessary books for their studies.

There are fifteen desks and a blackboard in our classroom. On the walls of our classroom there are some portraits of great writers and scientists and artists. A lot of students from other towns and villages live in hostels. By the end of the first term we take exams. I don`t want to fail my exams and credit tests. After we pass exams me have winter holidays (winter break) for two weeks.
