3️⃣ Dormitory information
Our lovely question)
All international students are provided with a place in the dormitory at our university.

Sometimes international students choose to rent an apartment. Of course, the apartment has more advantages, but the rental cost is also high.

SPbPU campus dormitories:
▫️ 2, 3 or 4 persons in a room
▫️ entrance pass for your safety
▫️ access control systems and emergency voice alarm communication systems in all buildings
▫️ interior and exterior video surveillance systems

Did you know that Polytech has its own organ?

Have you seen the fountain «We» next to the 1st educational building? Here is its story. 🔽

Valentine Shalipina, student of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, made a special project for Fountain «We» as a present for 110s Anniversary of Polytech.

The structure of the fountain «We» consists of 7 figures: each one stands for special shade of our mood. Construction was made of cement and mansurov granite, and the figures were made of steel.

Next to the fountain, there is a monument to the student of Polytech in special uniform from 1900s. The sculpture of young man is sitting on a bench since 24th April 2010. It personifies the collective image of students from the 20th century.

In modern Polytech students’ life, many ceremonies are connected with the monument. Everyone believes that you need to sit with the statue on a bench for successful exams passing.

And do you like to spend time here?

Thanks to @elena_m1005 for the great picture! 💚

Ultimate summer vibes at Polytechnic Park 😍
⠀
Polytechnic Park was originally designed as a beautiful frame for the University campus. It was created to build a comfortable atmosphere in a place where students and teachers of the university studied and lived. Today, the park is preserved almost in its original form and is a historical and cultural heritage site with a hundred-year history, protected by the government.
⠀
Walking through the alleys of the park you can not only enjoy the fresh air, birdsong, the silence of the forest, but also find local attractions like a Water Supply Tower or many of the monuments. As you walk past the Main Polytechnic University Building, you can even hear the sounds of classical music! 🎶
⠀
Many different trees are planted in the park: birch, rowan, maple, pine, lilac… They give a pleasant coolness to visitors in summer ☀️ and create a fabulous atmosphere in winter ❄️
⠀
➡️ Do you want to stroll through the Park?
