International Students Testimonials

David De Vacas, Ecuador

Samara National Research University

I desired to become a cosmonaut, and now I am a student of aircraft engineering

I am from the other side of the hemisphere, the City of Quito in Ecuador. When I first came to Russia, I had an array of plans; I desired to be a cosmonaut, and now I am a student of aircraft engineering.

I like that Samara University has a continuous history and a great and promising future. By the way, the first rocket that took a human creature into space was built in Samara. Today, important work is performed here on a number of projects, including launches of nanosatellites.

Also I like the fact that here at the University the students can study and do research, but also act in the Variety Theater, try their hand as radio show hosts, and take part in various events.
