Text

I am a student of Novosibirsk College of Geodesy and Cartography. I am really glad that I study here. It is one of the finest country's technical colleges. Many people have graduated from my college, and now most of them work according to their profession. Studying at our college gives a solid background in all spheres of knowledge and prepares for practical work.

Our college is quite large and old. It was founded in 1944. First it was called the topographical technical school. In 2010 the Novosibirsk College of Geodesy and Cartography was joined to the Siberian State Academy of Geodesy. Nowadays it is a large educational establishment where more than 500 students are currently enrolled. About 450 are full-time students, like me, and the rest are part time-students.

The course of study at my college lasts three or four years. Having a diploma makes it possible to work as a technician in the chosen field. There are five faculties at my college: Applied Geodesy, Cartography, Information systems, Airphotogeodesy and Land management. We study various subjects, such as Cadastre, Maths, Computer Science, Geodesy, English etc.

Our academy is quite large. It is a grey four-storeyed building. Here are many classrooms for lectures and seminars. There is a large conference hall here so that students of 5-6 groups together can fit in there. The acoustics [a'kutstiks] in such a large hall is very good but sometimes it is very noisy when students chat during the lecture.

We have also a library which contains all necessary literature on topics learnt. It has also a good and modern reading hall. We spend a great deal of time here.

We have laboratories which are equipped with up-to-date equipment and there students can carry on lab works and conduct various experiments. Many students from my group do their own research work. Besides there is a good gymnasium at our college. The students of our college are doing sports. They are fond of volleyball and basketball. We also have a football team of the college.

There is a student's cafe at our college. It is situated on the ground floor. The food there is tasty and very affordable.

There is also a comfortable hostel not far from our collage where students from other cities live. Some students do not live in a hostel, they rent an apart­ment.
