Get ready for 13 zones and more than 100 stations! 🎈 September 1, from 11:00 AM to 5:00 PM Bachelor’s students, your mission for the day: complete all the zones and earn Polycoins, which you can later exchange for… gifts!

An Adaptator will help you find your way and guide you around the entire campus. Master’s students, you’re invited to the celebration too! But you already have some experience, so you can complete all the stations on your own 😎

Yes, the last days of summer are here. But don’t be sad — the best part is that something new is about to begin.

A new semester means: 📚 new subjects and unexpected discoveries 🤝 new friends, conversations and adventures ☕️ coffee between classes and long talks after them 🎓 new opportunities to grow, create and try something different 🏙 and, of course, autumn Saint Petersburg — with its cozy streets and Polytech atmosphere.

So, instead of saying “Goodbye, summer”, let’s say: “Hello, autumn. We’re ready.” 🍁 The image was generated using artificial intelligence.

How many boxes did you tick? And now — be honest 👇 🌞 How many things from our summer checklist did you manage to do?

0–3 — I’m still on vacation 😎 4–7 — Not a bad summer! 8–11 — Saint Petersburg is basically home now 12–15 — I’m ready for the new academic year! 🎓

🌞 THE LAST DAY OF SUMMER It feels like summer has just begun — and now it’s already time to get back to studying 👀 But the big question is: did you manage to do everything this summer?

Дорогие друзья! Поздравляю вас с Днем Государственного флага Российской Федерации!

Триколор — это символ нашей общей истории, суверенитета и национального единства. Миролюбие, верность Отечеству, сила – вот те присущие российскому народу черты, которые олицетворяют цвета нашего Флага.

Равняясь на Российский триколор, мы все стремимся сделать нашу страну лучшим местом на Земле! И пусть так и будет! С праздником! 👻 МАКС

▫️ С Днём Государственного флага России! Сегодня, 22 августа, в России отмечается День Государственного флага Российской Федерации — один из символов единства и истории нашей страны

Триколор — бело-сине-красный флаг — имеет многовековую историю. Впервые в качестве государственного символа он был поднят на русском военном корабле «Орёл» в XVII веке, а при Петре I бело-сине-красный флаг стал основой российского государственного флага. В 1991 году триколор вновь был официально восстановлен

🎉 Поздравляем всех с этим праздником! Желаем вам новых открытий, ярких впечатлений и интересных знакомств с российской культурой и историей. Пусть время, проведённое в России, станет важной и доброй частью вашей жизни! ▫️ 📌 Если пост не загружается, читайте его в МАХ ▫️ Приключения иностранцев в России
