Stories from Abroad

It is my great honor to be an exchange student in Shenyang University of Chemical Technology, which is an unforgettable experience in my life. I have learned a lot in Shenyang, such as getting along with others, not knowing how to consult teachers and classmates in class. It is interesting that there are Russian courses in Shenyang University of Chemical Technology, in addition to electing Russian. This laid a good foundation for my return to Russia.

In the second semester, due to the epidemic, we could only take online classes at home, but the teachers were very responsible, telling us the class schedule and helping us mail school things to our home. Although it was an online class, we also integrated into the class well and communicated with the teachers, who also tried their best to help us and give some advice
