3rd year, Civil and Environmental Engineering
I decided to become a Peer Mentor because now I know a lot of things about university life and want to share them with freshmen. It is always important to help and direct someone who does not know what to do and who is afraid of doing new things. I want to try my best in helping new students with their adaptation to a new environment and people. I am interested in dancing, learning new languages and self-development and will be glad to know each of you.
4th year, World Languages, Literature and Cultures
Coming from a regular Kazakh school, I had no experience in writing research papers and giving academic presentations in English, so I struggled to keep up with my Nu peers who were excellent academically. I had constant stress and panic attacks due to the new academic discourse, deadlines, and responsibilities that were placed on my shoulders. However, by finding the right technique for studying and managing my time, I was able to make significant progress and even got a dean's list. Yet, I believe that if I had a mentor with me at the time, my transition could have been less stressful and more enjoyable. As such, I am willing to be a Peer-Mentor to share my immense experience with freshmen students in order to soften their transition and make their experience more pleasant. If I can help, do not hesitate to contact me! My interests: acting, drawing, singing, learning languages: Spanish, Chinese, Korean.
3rd year, Political Science and International Relations
A lot of students have struggled with understanding the desired major and what kind of society the university represents. For some, it might be mind-shifting and an uncomfortable, or time-consuming process. Therefore, I became a Peer-Mentor to save precious time for the freshmen students and improve the quality of the student life at NU. If I can be of assistance, do not hesitate to contact me! Interests: political science and international relations, political research, Korean language, academic writing, literature, and human rights.
