Since 2021, the Student Tourism project has been uniting students and young people, giving them the opportunity to travel and get to know the country's leading universities. Every year, participants travel to various regions of the country – from Kaliningrad to Vladivostok. Universities across Russia open the doors of their campuses to travelers, offering unique tourist programs developed on the student-to-student principle. They include popular science routes, master classes, events and much more. This contributes not only to broadening the horizons of program participants, but also to the development of scientific, historical and sports tourism.

The main point of the route was Novosibirsk State University. The blog tour participants were accommodated in the new dormitory #4/2. Over the course of two days, the children were introduced to the campus, given excursions to the NSU history museums, the Evolution of the Earth and New Archeology RECs. The children were especially interested in the excursion to the accelerator mass spectrometry laboratory, where they were explained how scientific research works are carried out. In the Startup Studio and the Demonstration Center of the Center for Information Technologies, the bloggers were shown smart developments created by university students. The Ministry of Culture of the Novosibirsk Region and the Novosibirsk Museum of Local History gave the blog tour participants a walking tour of the Akademgorodok, and the children were also shown the science town from the NSU dome, where at a height of 63 meters from the observation deck a breathtaking view of the Ob Sea, the campus and endless forests opened up. The journey ended with a PISHNIK from the Advanced Engineering School of NSU, where bloggers and students competed in volleyball and engineering games on the sand.

Kirill Zhigulin, the author of a blog dedicated to Russia and patriotism, noted the uniqueness of Novosibirsk and its potential.

— I was particularly struck by the fact that it is the youth who are building the future of Novosibirsk through science and sports. NSU demonstrates high indicators in education and scientific activity. I am sure that Novosibirsk is a unique brand of the region with huge potential, and the future here is built by young people and NSU graduates. I think more and more young people will come here not only for scientific, but also historical, sports and aviation tourism. This is a really cool and unique idea, — Kirill shared.

Karina Zakharova from Kazan, media ambassador of “Student Tourism”, spoke about her experience.

— This is my first blog tour as part of Student Tourism, although I have been actively traveling for about four years and have two blogs. Previously, I had only been to Novosibirsk in transit, and now I had the opportunity to get to know the city and the university. I was impressed by the VivaAvia festival and the NSU museums, which are truly worth attention. NSU is a university with a developed student culture, startups and great potential. Despite my attachment to my hometown, if the opportunity presented itself, I would gladly study at NSU. I want to wish everyone to travel and discover Russia through Student Tourism — it is a great budget option, — said Karina.

Georgy Favorsky, media ambassador of "Student Tourism", blogger, student of the I. Ya. Yakovlev Chelyabinsk State Pedagogical University, emphasized that he values his university very much, but NSU also impressed him very much.

— All the events were very rich and interesting. I especially liked the excursion to the museum, where they study earth rocks and you could touch all the exhibits. The atmosphere was very friendly, you could feel the real care and support from the participants and organizers of the program. Novosibirsk, as the third most populous city in Russia, really has great potential. The university has a high level of education, comparable to the leading metropolitan universities. Now I am sure that Novosibirsk is the center of Siberian civilization, and I recommend everyone who is considering moving or studying in another city to pay attention to this wonderful city and university, — added Gosha.

The Student Tourism program continues to unite young people from different regions of Russia, allowing them to expand their horizons and participate in the intellectual and cultural life of the country's leading universities. NSU, with its unique combination of science, sports and innovation, confidently occupies one of the leading positions in this youth movement, inviting students from all corners of the country to become part of the large Siberian educational family.
