Are Russian Colleges ACTUALLY Good? My Russian College Experience

Hi and welcome to my channel! In today's  video I will tell you about russian community college where I study, also there would be  some interesting footage of my professors. I study in the russian presidential academy. I  know it's a bit ironic that i don't like russian president but I study in presidential  academy. I don't study in university, I study in community college which is  a part of this chain of universities. I study economics and accounting. And what  is interesting is that I study

part-time, which means that I only study during exam  sessions for like two or three weeks in a term and the rest of the time is completely  free. The disadvantage of that program is that usually community college programs take like two  years out of your life but part-time programs take three years. In general I pretty much  enjoy it, because I have so much free time. I like economics, it's interesting to learn about  that. I'm not planning to work as an accountant but still. So I have exam se

ssions in december  and may. In december we had online exam session but covid don't exist in russia anymore  so we had in-person classes in may. Firstly when I entered the building  what was kinda surprising to me is that when you're trying to enter the  building you need to ring the bell and security guard opens the door for you  and the first time when it came there, she even asked me like where are you going that  feels scary that feels like presidential academy. Also when you exit the buildi

ng you need to  press the button as well to open the door. So extra level of security is always good. I filmed  a couple of classrooms and a couple of teachers, we have this like old computers but they still  work. I filmed a couple of teachers as well now we will hear a little bit  about propaganda and cancel culture Let me know in the comments what you think about  the stuff that he discussed. Hopefully I wouldn't be expelled out of my community college but if I  would it's kind of not that bi

g of a deal because it would stimulate me to leave russia sooner.  So it's a win-win situation. And when he said the stuff about lgbt propaganda I was like damn I  kinda liked you before and now you're saying this. Another weird thing there is that we didn't  have PE classes where you have to like run and jump. Which is good because I hate sports.  We had this PE lections and we just sat there for multiple hours and we were just  listening stuff about healthy lifestyle That class was kind of que

stionable. In  russia you can't choose classes you just choose your major and that's it. So then  we had this class about environment and ecological problems. I quite enjoyed it,  it was interesting to listen about that. I have no idea why this class was in economics and  accounting program, it kind of doesn't make much sense to me why they put this class in there but  that was interesting. I don't regret that class, the next class I'm gonna discuss was...well  originally it was supposed to be s

omething interesting it's one of the main of our classes  about finances. We saw the teacher and we realized that we're gonna learn nothing there because  there was an old lady who barely realized who she is. Her speech wasn't connected like there was no  logic in what she was telling us. I hope that she wouldn't get fired for me saying that but she said  you can cheat on the exam. So I got a four which is like a B and there were people who got an A and  the rest of the people got a c so everybo

dy passed this class. We all cheated and majority of people  know nothing about the class. Sometimes she was telling us about the soviet times and telling us  how great it was and how shitty it is right now. I have a lot of things that I've recorded because  this person is just like a walking meme. One time she was telling us all of this sht that you  will hear on russian tv like propaganda stuff... She's in her 80s and the only source  of information that she has is tv so all of that stuff that

they tell people  on tv she literally just spread into society So after my classes I decided to go to the  Khabarovsk cinema and it took me like five minutes walking to it from my college and  I went there not only to annoy my co-worker but also to drink coffee. We had like  amazing talk with the guy who worked there we discussed sanctions, cryptocurrency, leaving  russia you know typical topics to talk about. These exam sessions they're draining and they're  exhausting, I studied from 12 p.m t

o 9 p.m which is a long long day. That was really hard  but now when it's over I'll be like I have half a year of some spare time to do whatever the hell I  want so yeah and I already went back to work after my exam session and I was just thriving on a  math class because I just you know graduated high school two years ago and I still remember  everything clearly and people who study with me in this college they're like 30 year olds who  decided to get second education. It will take me two more

years to graduate or better to say  if I'll graduate because I really want to leave russia and I feel like maybe after two  years it would be too late to do that I kind of can't imagine me living in Khabarovsk for  two more years. Probably I can leave to like Georgia. Life just got so much more complicated. I  don't know maybe I'm just being dramatic and I can leave whenever I will be ready. But I will  never be ready so maybe I should just rip the band-aid off and just leave russia right now. 

I have no fcking idea what to do with my life. I think I will end this video here thank  you so much for watching till the end and huge thank you for your donations on buy  me a coffee, see you in the next video, bye
