“I decided to study what really interests me, and in my case it was philology”

Amaël Renard is a second-year student of “Philology” course, who travelled from Germany to Nizhny Novgorod and got into HSE. After graduating from thirteen years of school, Amael took a break in his education, visiting seventeen countries during that time, and then enrolled in our bachelor's program with little knowledge of Russian. Amael's path was not easy, but now he is successfully juggling philology, working as a tutor, playing sports, and traveling. Amael told us about his experience of university admission and adaptation in a completely new environment.
