Student life within the University is characterized by a number of different theatre groups, the Club for Cheerful and Inquisitive, the University choir and the Drawing and painting studio where students apply their artistic talents. Student Leisure Centre regularly organises a wide range of leisure activities, concerts, shows, celebrations and discos. Sports Centre develops various kinds of sports: track-and-field, ski racing, skating, swimming, basketball, volleyball, lawn tennis, chess, aerobics, even judo and sambo wrestling, weight lifting, biathlon and mountain climbing. STU has all the facilities for sports: open-air stadium, 2 skiing centres, special premises for sport games, Physical Education classes. A new gym with a swimming pool was built.

Sporting, cultural and social events and entertainments take place all year round and students can also enjoy after class activities as a way of making new friends or to pursue new interests. If I were ever asked for a recommendation on a place to study, STU would be my first suggestion.
