KNURE is full of places and objects that can be safely called attractions, but which of them are the main ones? 

MONUMENT TO STUDENT-PROGRAMMER 

This monument is a brand card of KNURE.  There is hardly a student at the university who does not have a photo with Gena (for some unknown reason, they started calling him that).

A little-known fact: the prototype for the student was the sculptor himself - Roman Blazhko.  The monument was opened on October 8, 2010, and it was created within 4 months.  It is a tradition to rub the touchpad of a laptop held by a programmer.  It is believed that this could bring good luck during the exams.  Unfortunately, the current generation of students does not know about this tradition, but the monument is loved and protected.

MUSEUM OF KNURE

It would seem surprising: almost every educational institution has a museum.  But while most of them are devoted only to the history of the school / university, our museum regularly changes exhibits as part of a wide variety of exhibitions.

For example, the exposition "Tibet, the Himalayas - the heart of Asia" was presented, which caused genuine interest among many students.

Also here you can often see many creative works of teachers and students, projects on relevant topics, exhibits with a rich history.  Another nice feature of the museum is that it’s free for admission not only for students and university employees, but for everyone.

EXPANDER

For our students, the word “expander” is extremely familiar.  But how to explain to people who are not related to KNURE what it means?

You can give a short description and say that the expander is a place on the second floor with a view of the first floor.

But it is better to say that the expander is the main meeting place for students of KNURE.  A place with a rich history, because you just need to recall the soft chairs, hot coffee and the cozy atmosphere that were there at some time.

The expander sometimes looks cheerful.

Students almost always sit on benches by the windows: someone makes a report on a laptop, someone drinks coffee, someone talks to their friends.

 Someone is standing, leaning on the railing, and watching with interest as students enter the university's revolving doors. 

 The monument, museum and expander are not the only attractions of KNURE.

However, they are the first to come to a student who is asked  “What interesting places do you have at your university?”.

You can always learn about other, less popular, but no less interesting corners of KNURE in the next part.
