Reviews
National Research Technological University MISiS received positive feedback from the majority of students forrich curricula, skilled professional teachers, excellent material base and modern teaching methods. Many noted the comfortable living conditions in the hostel, the presence of several places of food at different levels. Students talk about a busy social life, a large number of additional educational opportunities in the form of lectures, seminars, courses.
Not without a certain amount of negativity. Such reviews talk about the high prices for education. It is noted that studying at a university is quite difficult, and by the end of the entire recruited group, often only 50% of students remain. Many people share their impressions about how easy it is to enter the Institute of Steel and Alloys (faculties sometimes experience a shortage of applicants), but this does not mean that it will be easy to study. According to the observations of students, the institute is very large, which led to high bureaucratization and a very slow resolution of issues with retaking exams and tests.
Nevertheless, most students are sure: if you want to study, make a career, gain knowledge, then you should enter the Institute of Steel and Alloys (Moscow). The faculties and departments here are very different, the university provides a high level of knowledge, and the exactingness of teachers will help to master them in full.
