The best uni available in Kazakhstan right now
I can't say much about quaility of education, since I've arrived here to visit my supervisor, who is currently working here. However I know for sure that one of the best scientific minds from all over the world are working and tutoring here. Overall achitecture and planning are awesome, the appartments are great and very-very cheap, especially for such quality. The only one flaw of this place is water: it's awful. Don't you ever dare to drink it.
The best education available in Central Asia
I loved this placeExpo2017 Astana
The best university in the country
Hub of intellectuals where good is turned into best.
very nice university I have ever visited
The building of university is really beautiful. Very modern architecture and infrastructure BUT administration is like still living in USSR, restricts entrance for visitors, tourists and vehicles. Somehow managed like a prison.
Dude! When you go in, it feels like you went to some sort of eco park in the future. Very well prepared and very organized.
Amazing university with best conditions for education. Especially main hall and library are fantastic!
Perhaps this is the best university not in Kazakhstan only, but in the whole Central Asia as well. A university based on western standards with a professors who have a great experience of teaching in various prestigious universities is probably the most promising way of a career a student in this country may choose.
