Hi! My name is Arina, I’m an exchange student from the University of Tyumen in Russia.

This is a brief video capturing my life and studies at NENU during the autumn semester of the 2023-2024 academic year. Honestly, no video or photo can fully capture the atmosphere of NENU because everyone has their own unique life experience, goals, and emotions.

Speaking about my journey, I’m truly grateful for every opportunity NENU has provided me. Participating in various events and becoming a part of NENU has been a highly rewarding experience. In August, I arrive at NENU alone without any friends. By January, during the winter break, I found it hard to hold back tears as I bid farewell to friends and prepared to return to Russia.

Love every single person in this video and looking forward to coming back in February to continue my studies and live the best student’s life!
