-What do you like about the university? What are your best memories here?
-The first year was very productive for me. I met many graduates and successful people from Central Asia. Thanks to these meetings, I am very active and purposeful. I surely can say that the best experience AUCA has given is meetings with successful people, who motivated me to make my goals come true. In the summer of 2019, I won a trip and the opportunity to participate in conferences in Nepal, Turkey and Kazakhstan. Moreover, I took part in field research in Alai and Issyk-Kul regions in 2019.

-Why did you decide to study here?
-I accidentally decided to apply to AUCA. My friend advised me to take the exam at AUCA. Initially, I applied to three universities, and failed them, thus I decided to prepare for three additional universities within a month. As a result, I entered three universities. I decided to study at AUCA, the decision was not easy for me, since I did not know anything about Bishkek. I wanted to study Forensic Anthropology. And AUCA was the only university in the Central Asia to have a faculty of anthropology. I love AUCA because it provides us with many opportunities and it depends only on the student whether s/he will use them.
-Due to the pandemic, you are studying exchange at BARD College online. How is it going?
-Yes, I am studying remotely on the exchange program 鈥淏ard Globalization and International Affairs鈥�. The study is productive and interesting regardless of the fact that the lessons are online. Moreover, I am doing a remote internship at听听IT company in New York, USA.
At AUCA, a student has the opportunity to improve not only professional knowledge and skills, but also leadership skills. In my case, AUCA has become a leadership school. Here, I get better and set myself big goals and objectives.
I wish all our readers good health and family well-being during the pandemic!
