First, I created a page on Instagram, and then I made a website for myself. At first, I thought about paying for the site creation, but I realized that there is nothing complicated, I did it on the “Tilda” platform. I would not risk it if it were not for cybernetics. I received a lot of useful information during my time at the university. Yes, I do not work by profession, but every day I come across what I learned. Life somehow connects and directs precisely in the direction of cybernetics. Therefore, when applicants think about where to go, they should go where their soul lies. Where it will be interesting, and the profession itself will find you.

Studying at ONEU gave me a very large base of knowledge and direction for choosing a profession. I would advise all our students to accustom themselves to hard work from the first year and not to postpone their studies until the last day. Absorb knowledge and be independent. Also, appreciate every second, because student time is the best years of life.
