2nd year, Mathematics
Hometown: Aktobe
I really enjoy connecting with people and making new acquaintances. I've always been the type of person who strikes up a conversation with someone new at social gatherings or even in everyday situations. It's incredible how many fascinating stories and experiences people have to share :)
Karlygash Mukanova
3rd year, World Languages, Linguistics and Culture
Hometown: Astana
I can give time-management tips, tell you about my exchange program experience, and talk about clubs at NU. I will be happy to see you all and hear your concerns/experiences at university so far! You can even come and talk to me about kpop and kdramas, but you will have to book several slots as I will have a lot of things to say and ask :))

Hometown: Uralsk
Hey there, first-year superstars! I'm here to assist with course selection and provide insights into our vibrant student life. My involvement in diverse campus clubs has given me a wealth of experience that I'm eager to share. Whether you're navigating your academic journey or looking to enrich your college experience, I'm here to offer advice and support

The story of how I got my major mixed up.
When applying to the university, I could not find the major of "economics" in the list of suggested ones and chose "mathematics", thinking that economics is included in the list of specialization of mathematics. I found out that I chose the wrong major and had to choose "undeclared" only during the Orientation Week and transferred to another major in 3 days. That was an incredibly exciting launch into university life!

4th year, Economics
Hometown: Uralsk
Hello, dear friend. As a senior student, I'm able to address any of your concerns regarding your grades, master's and further study, research assistance and student life. If you lack soft skills such as presenting or hosting, then you're at the right place. Until this moment, I've been a Teaching Assistant, Research Assistant and completed several internships. Economics is my major, so you are more than welcome to discuss it with me :)
