One of the most famous attractions in Pskov

Hi everyone!

At the beginning of February, our university was present at the fair of Estonian universities in Pskov, and I also went there to help and talk to our future students and share my experiences.

Our trip started from Tallinn, then we went to Tartu to pick some more people from there. Meanwhile, we had some free time and I went on a small walk around the Old Town of Tartu.

I took this picture while walking ;)

After that we started heading to Pskov. It took us around 6 hours to get there, so when we arrived we were super tired and hungry. Thus we directly went to one of the local restaurants to get some food after the long ride.

When we saw the prices in there and we were shocked! The food was super good and cheap. We really enjoyed the time spent there.

The next day was the big day. We did some presentations about our uni, as well as other Estonian universities. My role in that was to answer the questions of future students and their parents about the studies and life in Estonia. People were extremely curious about the admission process and all the practical aspects, so we received tons of questions. It lasted for 3 hours and around 100 people came to talk to us. In the end, we were feeling tired, but happy, that we managed to help people and answer all the questions they had.

This reminded me about why I became a student ambassador - to help people and be able to share my experience about how cool it is to be here.

P.S. If you also wanted to join our fair, but you couldn’t make it, don’t worry! You can always watch our live streams on Facebook (February 19, March 5, March 18, April 15, May 20) and ask your question there ❤
