Greetings from Estonia!

My semester at the University of Tartu as part of the academic mobility program is almost over, and I want to share my impressions and some news.
I’ll start with the more formal part — studying. For the first time in my life, I had exams in a lecture hall, and I also took an oral exam in English. The most important task in the exam is to pass it.
So far, I’ve been successful and have already received credits for two subjects, with the rest coming in January.
Then I have two more exams and the defense of a group project, which we will most likely prepare after the New Year, because many people have gone home for the holidays! Read more…
