In the second half of the nineteenth century, with the beginning of the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway, Russia had only one institute where railway engineers were trained - in St. Petersburg. There was a huge shortage of specialists, so the idea of creating a second higher educational institution that would satisfy all these needs arose. Many cities wanted to host a new institute on their territory: Kazan, Kyiv, Yekaterinoslav, Voronezh, Saratov. Eagle, but preference was given to Moscow by the emperor, since there were already the best teaching staff in the country. This is how MIIT appeared, reviews of which are presented in this article.
Alumni Association
This public organization is called the MGUPS Alumni Association (MIIT) and is a single information platform for maintaining communication between people who studied atthe same institution, working in different industries and even in different countries. It was there that reviews about the university (MIIT) about teachers were found, made by both graduates who left their university and those who remained to teach there.
The connections between the generations of graduates are an interesting phenomenon in itself. Here, not only the maintenance of friendly relations, but also the search for partnerships, employers and employees. And, since all these people graduated from the same higher educational institution, they cannot but have common ground in interests. MIIT collects the most diverse reviews, like all other educational institutions, but most of those who respond (especially in relation to technical faculties) are almost unanimous. The university is the strongest, with rich traditions and an amazing two-century history.
Training at MIIT
Reviews on the level of education at the leading transport university indicate that the largest center of higher education, culture and science has been formed here, where the basic values of the old Russian transport university are preserved and developed. The level of applied and fundamental science is very high, training is carried out using the most modern achievements, innovations, and the latest technologies.
Principles of managing the educational, scientific and socio-cultural activities of MIIT reviews also largely reflect, since the learning process takes place in the best traditions of domestic universities. It is here that the personnel, scientific and productionpotential of the Russian railway industry.
Mission of MIIT
Reviews say that most of their writers work in their speci alty. This means only one thing: the centuries-old traditions are continued, domestic railways receive both personnel and scientific support. The generation of new knowledge in the educational process is continuous, the university implements all stages of continuous education: training, retraining, advanced training, which is in demand by the development of professional realities.
Transportation science is being integrated into education under the MIIT system, whose teachers' ratings are so high that they suggest world-class university professorships. MIIT cooperates with all the leading universities of the world that belong to this industry, with many international companies and transport organizations.

In addition, the university includes nine institutes and four faculties, as well as a medical college and a gymnasium. In twenty-two subjects of the Russian Federation, the university opened 24 branches, of which eightimplement programs of both higher and secondary vocational education. That is why MIIT receives feedback from students from everywhere, and almost always they are full of gratitude.

It should be noted that both employees and workers who studied here in 134 professions leave reviews about MIIT.

The university produces highly qualified graduates in the field of transport and transport construction, this is first of all. In addition, professionals in the fields of finance, economics, customs, management, advertising, marketing and many others are trained here. And not always the address of MIIT is Moscow. Reviews of affiliates are more numerous only because there are many of them.
Besides the maineducation, the university works for the transport industry and for additional professional education, where 480 programs are being implemented. The base of the head university and its branches is used annually by up to 50 thousand specialists, managers and workers of the transport industry for retraining and advanced training at MIIT.

The educational institution has its own scientific publications: the magazines "Bulletin of MIIT", "World of Transport", "Science and Technology of Transport", which covers all the events taking place in MIIT.
Dormitory
Reviews of non-resident students about the Moscow hostels of the university differ like heaven and earth. In general, MIIT has eight dormitories, and, as it became clear from the reviews, four of them require repair and more comfortable arrangement. Two dorms are perfect, the remaining two are in average condition. But getting a place even in an uncomfortable building is not so easy. The dormitory is provided to state employees in the first place, but only to those who live more than sixty kilometers from the Moscow Ring Road.
Preference is given to applicants for technical speci alties. Those who study for a fee can count on a place in a building located in the city of Pushkino, costing from 2,700 rubles per month. But in general, reviews about MIIT student dormitories differ little from those described by students of other universities. In general, they are very similar. The control of staff on duty is carried out around the clock, the student council works well, competitions, sports competitions, evenings of rest and much more are organized. In the branches, things are much better with student accommodation, but Moscow has always been too crowded, and students from many other universities have the sameproblems.
