Our University

My Family

I am Timur Baibur. Baiburin is my surname,Timur is my first name. My close friends call me Tima for short. I am a student of Bashkir State Agrarian University. My father calls this University his Alma Mater and we joke that it is our family tradition to be graduates of BSAU.

Let me introduce my family to you. First comes father of course as head of the family. His name is Azamat Baiburin, he is a mechanic at the repair station. My mother's name is Fatima Baiburina, she is a nurse at the small local hospital. As for my brother, he goes to school. His name is Radmir. He is fond of animals and wants to treat them so we hope that after finishing school he will enter the Veterinary Department of this University.

I have also got two grandmothers and grandfather who are rather old but still very active and energetic.I love them very much and try to help my grandparents because there is always much work in the country. I have got a lot of relatives: uncles, aunts, cousins, nephews and nieces. We sometimes gather together but this happens not very often.

As for me, I am a first year student of the Food Technologies Department. I like to be a student. I live in the hostel of our University. My room-mates are the students of our group, so we help each other to do homework on some subjects. I am from Yanaul District of Bashkortostan. My family lives there. I miss Mom, Dad and Radmir very much. I love my family and I think that our family is friendly and hardworking.

My Day

I get up at 7 o'clock in the morning. I do my morning exercises, wash and dress. Then I sit down to breakfast. At 8 I leave home and go to the University. Our hostel is situated near the University, so I am there in 10 minutes. Some students live rather far from the University, so they take a bus or a trolley or even a taxi bus not to be late.

Our classes begin at 8.30. Usually we have one or two lectures, a seminar and a practical lesson in the laboratory. Once or twice a week we have English. At our English lessons we read texts, translate them, ask and answer questions and do all sorts of exercises. We want to know English well and many students of our University need it to study abroad and to work in England during summer holidays.

At 12 a.m. I usually have lunch at the students' canteen. After classes I sometimes stay at the University and work in one of the reading halls. I can find practically every necessary book on any subject there, so I don't need to visit a city library. I study hard because good education is valuable nowadays. When I return to my hostel I am usually tired, so I have a short rest and cook supper. Then I do my homework. At 11 o'clock I go to bed.

Sunday is my day off. I get up later than usual. I needn't hurry anywhere on this day and I like it very much. On Sunday I can go to the cinema or theatre, to the skating rink in winter, to the park in summer. If I have free time during the week I visit my friends, read books, go for a walk, listen to music.

A student's life is rather busy but we try to find time for work and for

fun.

Our University

My name is Khakimova Regina. I am a second year student of Bashkir State Agrarian University. It is one of the oldest in the city. Its history goes back to 1930, when it was founded as Bashkir Agricultural Institute. At that time there were only 2 departments at the Institute: plant growing and livestock breeding and only 99 students and 13 teachers. In 1993 Bashkir Agricultural University got the status of Bashkir State Agrarian University. Now the overall number of students amounts to 10 thousand; 5783 of them are full time students and 3708 are students of the extra-mural department (as of 01.02.05). The teaching staff of the University consists of 632 teachers, among them 88 professors and 330 candidates of sciences.

There are 8 departments at the University. They are the departments of Economics, Agronomy, Veterinary Medicine, Farm Mechanization, Farm Automation and Electrification, Land Management and Forestry, Food Technologies and Animal Science. I am at the department of Economics. I study such subjects as Mathematics, Economic Theory, Accounting, Audit and a lot of others. After 5 years of studies I will get the diploma of higher education and become an economist.

The University consists of five buildings. There are a lot of classrooms, laboratories and lecture halls at the University, also a computer centre and many computer classrooms. There is a good library and several reading halls where students can find many books and scientific journals on their speciality. Many students take up sport quite seriously. The University has several gyms, a swimming pool and a stadium.

Most students of our University are from different districts of our Republic. They live in 6 comfortable hostels of the University. Students live there for 5 years and for the time of studies hostels become their second home where they live, study and rest.

The course of studies at our University gives students a good opportunity of becoming well-trained specialists in different fields of agriculture. I think students can study, as well as live an interesting life during the years of education.
