What our students say about V-NYI
The greatest thing for me was the opportunity to communicate with brilliant scholars from around the world, to look from a more global perspective at burning contemporary issues
What I appreciated most was an opportunity to take a leap in Gender and Race studies, which are almost completely absent as a topic in our university system. It was an incomparable academic experience
Everything was really well organized: the schedule, the materials and also the atmosphere was serious and relaxed at the same time.
What an opportunity to listen to people working in my field! It's vital to listen to other scholars, which we miss so much since March 2020 Loved the international students and staff. I learned a lot!
NYI has given me so much motivation to continue studying linguistics...which is priceless in times of the covid pandemic when we are struggling with a decrease in motivation and depression...
I love how inspiring NYI is. Everybody’s loving what they’re doing and it makes you excited for knowledge too.

It was my first international experience academically. It was wonderful and enriching time
