MORE Snapshots from the MAUP University System in Kiev, Ukraine

Many people have asked for information about my University in Ukraine. It has a beautiful campus, adorned with trees, walkways, statues and artwork, gardens, and fine buildings. It also has excellent academic credentials and standing in the international community. I would suggest it for undergraduate and post graduate work, though I would recommend at least a basic knowledge in the Russian or Ukranian language. So for high school students who are thinking of attending here, it would be an excellent idea to take some Russian language courses if you can find them. Tuition rates are a pittance compared to that of American universities and the cost of living is extremely reasonable.

Here is brief tour of a small part of the university I took yesterday and today with my little digital camera. These pictures are only from the main campus — there are twenty-four campuses in the university!

The pictures include: the magnificent monument of warriors at the foot of the hill on which the University stands, the main gate, the Administration building and behind it one of the dormitories. Entrance to the Cultural Park with replicas of the ancient art and architecture of Ukraine including the double wedding cup. Art work of our European Heritage. Some of the classroom and research buildings. Philosopher’s Row, busts of famous thinkers and philosophers. One of the many beautiful chapels that adorn the campus. Some of the statues that adorn the gardens and tree-lined venues of the university.
