Student of this university: I would like to start with the fact that I study in building number 1, i.e. at the former USU. USU and UPI - after all, two around the world, although they are now united in UrFU. Therefore, I do not presume to judge the UPI. I write only about USU.
The building is located in the center of Yekaterinburg - opposite the Opera and Ballet Theatre, it is convenient to get there from anywhere in the city. There are many cafes, canteens, etc. nearby. True, all of them during the break (the big break from 13.50 to 14.30 - 40 minutes) are full of students, and it is often difficult to find a place or you have to stand in line for a long time, but nevertheless.
I am a 2nd year student budget form learning.
As for studying at the university:

Pros (regarding only my faculty):
- Highly qualified teachers
- Presence of media audiences
- Good repair (offices, restrooms, main hall)
- Cleanliness at the faculty (the floors are constantly washed and cleaned, and this does not bring any inconvenience)
- Availability of many scientific, artistic, etc. publications (subscription to the library, an incredibly convenient and cozy reading room with many sections and separate zones, equipped with computers with Internet access)
- There are also separate libraries: a history office, an art history office, a department rare books and so on.
- Temperature in the building: always warm. We don't wear jackets in winter, but in summer we can air the classrooms. Comfortable.
- The presence of two guarded wardrobes
- No bribes (I think that it should be written in pluses, because I see that many universities have such a problem). Never paid for an appraisal and no one ever asked for it.
- I consider it a HUGE ADVANTAGE that for almost 2 years while I am studying here, I have never heard that any of the teachers, methodologists, assistants or other workers not only insulted me or someone else, but even voices never did not raise! At the faculty, everyone treats each other with respect and warmth, and will always help with advice (for which special thanks to the inspector of the dean's office C.A.E., who has incredible patience, endurance and a big sympathetic heart!)
- ANOTHER IMPORTANT ADVANTAGE I consider the existing mentoring system: senior students help first-year students to get used to the university. A freshman who has come from school to university looks, as a rule, frightened, at least he is nervous for sure. The mentor helps him in everything: he introduces him to the group, explains where the classrooms are, the restrooms, how to get to the library, how to find a teacher, what to do if he lost his student ID and many other things, and most importantly, the freshman sees a person next to him who has already gone through everything it, and therefore, experiences much less stress. I had mentors who were very helpful. And this year I myself am a mentor and still support my freshmen.

Minuses:
- The point-rating system by which we study (this means that all your work and answers will be evaluated by points; the system does not always work properly, but, as a rule, all shortcomings are solved, and no problems arise in the end, but this It takes away nerves and tires.In addition, in such a system, the student's motivation is often not knowledge, but getting a high score)
- Dining room: long queues, sometimes you don’t have time for a couple because of this. Therefore, most of the students in our stream bring yogurt, apples, candy bars, etc. to the university with them.
- The building in which physical education takes place is not in building No. 1, and not even nearby, but close to the building on the street. Mira (i.e. go 6 stops, almost in a straight line, but you still need to go).

General information: since last year, physical education has been separate, in sections. Those. there is an opportunity to do athletics, swimming, fitness, health-improving physical (those who have health problems) (there are about 30 sections in total, if I'm not mistaken). But not always (and even often) you get to the wrong place. But in principle, everyone gets used to it over time.

I can say that I am generally very satisfied with the university. Our faculty has a Center for Contemporary Culture, where various exhibitions are organized (including by the students themselves). This is interesting! And it is very nice to see such an environment around you.

WHAT ABOUT HOSTELS.
I don't live in a dorm myself.
But two of my classmates are not local. They live in a hostel, no one kicks them out. They had to fill out some documents for renewal (I know all this, because the headman), everything was legal.

schedule Working mode:

Mon., Tue., Wed., Thu. from 09:00 to 17:00

Anonymous review 11:11 04/25/2019

I am a 3rd year student at high school economics and management - I like everything. Teachers explain the studied material well, help to write science articles, which can then be published - this is a valuable practice for students. The schedule of couples on time is convenient - you can combine it with work or part-time work. Of the minuses - sometimes couples are placed in a building at a different address, it is not always convenient - to travel to different places. The dean's office is always ready to help students with any questions. Can be in free time occupying...

I study full-time at the Institute of New Materials and Technologies. This is my first higher education(bachelor's degree, 4 years of study). I am studying metallurgy. What can I say about the university? The teachers are real pros, at least in my department J. They share their knowledge and invaluable practical experience. As for material equipment, everything you need is here: digital library(books, lectures, scientific articles), classroom fund, projectors (for lectures in the form of presentations...

A series of scandals, after which there were rumors about the resignation of Koksharov, was associated with a number of lectures, including the author election program oligarch Mikhail Prokhorov, liberal intellectual, editor-in-chief of Ekho Moskvy, EU ambassador in Moscow and head of the German Foreign Ministry. The main message: Russia may be a good country, but unsuitable for the development of new technologies, should not be independent, should abandon its imperial ambitions away, and at the same time return Crimea to Ukraine. Such a series of anti-Russian lectures was outraged by the Ural social activists, who spoke about this situation at the ONF conference in Moscow.

"As a citizen, I am against the filter of topics and speakers on discussion platforms, including state universities. But when one after another there are protests against the President of Russia, for the Ukrainian junta, and there are no alternative speakers, this is wrong. Everything from simple: different points vision should be presented so that young people can evaluate the quality of presentation of a particular historical fact. In a state university, a tilt to one side is categorically unacceptable, since, excuse me, these universities are supported by budget funds", - said in an interview with Nakanune.RU co-chairman of the Central Headquarters of the ONF, secretary Public Chamber RF Alexander Brechalov.

Another public figure Iosif Diskin, Chairman of the Commission for the Harmonization of Interethnic and Interreligious Relations of the Civic Chamber of the Russian Federation noted that the decision on the fact of holding anti-Russian lectures in UrFU - " this is the business of the academic council of the corresponding university, this is their principled position".

After a wave of criticism of the university and the rector from the media, public figures, including from Moscow, it seemed that the situation began to improve - Viktor Koksharov invited the main "Afghan" of the country and an active participant in the patriotic movement Franz Klintsevich to read regular lectures, announced a number of events in in preparation for the 70th anniversary of the Victory, as well as a real boost of patriotism among students. However, after a short time at the university, they again sounded that. Some observers suggest that such a "swing" was associated with the uncertainty in the fate of the rector, and the return to liberal propaganda - with the confidence that "life is getting better" and "everything is decided up there." However, we must not forget that, who represented the last lecturer - Mikhail Shvydkoy. Naturally, all this is happening not without the knowledge, but even with the approval of Viktor Koksharov. The university has not yet acknowledged that anti-Crimean and anti-Russian lectures are not very appropriate in a federal university. Apparently, this is precisely the "principled position of the Academic Council" or this position does not exist at all.

Returning to the family of the first president, it is worth remembering one more fact - despite the general confrontation between Russia and the West, Yeltsin's relatives are honored and welcomed in countries that even profess openly Russophobic views. For example, only a month ago, the executive director of the Yeltsin Foundation, Alexander Drozdov, visited Tallinn, where he presented Thanksgiving letters from Naina Yeltsina to several people who were most active in the opening of the bas-relief in honor of Boris Yeltsin in 2013, including a member of parliament and former minister. The bas-relief says that it was installed in memory of Boris Yeltsin, who made a contribution to the "peaceful restoration of Estonia's independence", that is, saved it from the bonds of the bloody Soviets. Note that this happened in the same Tallinn, where last years banned entry, for example, academician Valery Tishkov, actor Ivan Okhlobystin, chairman of the public council under the Ministry of Defense Igor Korotchenko, and ex-deputy of the European Parliament Julieto Chiesa was imprisoned and expelled from the country for trying to speak at a round table with a pro-Russian position. And in the same Tallinn, where they decided.

A month later, Drozdov received the French Order of Merit. The same award was received by one of the co-organizers of the History of Stalinism, the head of the Rosarkhiv Sergei Mironenko. At the same time, relations between Russia and France, let's face it, are not particularly good.

The president's daughter, Tatyana Yumasheva, does have Austrian citizenship along with her husband. They were able to obtain citizenship in 2009 on the guarantee of the leadership of the Canadian automobile concern Magna for a major "contribution to the development of the Austrian automotive industry." True, the Russian public had two questions: how many brands of Austrian cars can the reader remember, and why do Canadian businessmen vouch for the daughter of the late ex-president before the Austrian authorities? It is clear that the questions are rhetorical.

Everything falls into place if we remember that since the early 1990s, the Magna concern has been closely associated with the "young reformers", in particular, with Anatoly Chubais and the business empire of Yumashev's son-in-law Oleg Deripaska. It's no secret that Magna's board of directors includes prominent Western politicians, including members of the Bildeberg Club.

It remains to be stated that the Boris Yeltsin family retains its influence not only in Russia, but also in the ranks of the Western business and political elite. And in this sense, an attempt to keep in the orbit of their influence one of the largest universities in the country with loyal leaders and government funding looks to them as real as it is justified.

Ural Federal University named after the first President of Russia B.N. Yeltsin is the largest federal university in the country, operating in Yekaterinburg.
