MY STUDIES

My name is …. I am a first year student of the … department at Belgorod University of Cooperation, Economics and Law. I am a full-time student that is I attend classes, lectures and seminars in full-time, whereas the University accepts a lot of young people for a correspondence course.

The academic year begins in September and ends in June. There are two terms in it. So students take end-of-term tests and exams twice a year, that is in January and in June. So we have two vacations a year – winter and summer ones. The winter vacation is quite short, it lasts only two weeks, the summer one is longer, it lasts two months.

We go to the University on week-days. We have no classes on Saturday and on Sunday. At the University classes begin at 8.30 in the morning and are over at 15.50 in the afternoon. During the first year students are taught different subjects of general nature. Then they take some special subjects of their chosen profession.

Every day we usually have three or four double classes, lectures and seminars. During a break students go to dining rooms, snack bars or a canteen to have their midday meal.

I go to the library after my classes. I am in a habit of doing my homework there. But a lot of my fellow-students prefer to do it at home.

I live with my parents. I have to take a bus to get to the University. It usually takes me twenty minutes to reach it. Those studying away from home are given accommodation in the University hostel. It is situated near the University and they walk there.
