I've only been at Yerevan Cultural University for 2 year, but I will give you my opinion of it. This post's purpose is to appeal to those who cannot make up their mind about whether to go to Yerevan Uni.
Over the last 2 years, I've found Yerevan Cultural University to have a friendly and open environment, allowing a wide variety of beliefs and life styles. Coming from a very rural area, I was hoping to see that there is a tolerance for differences. I can say that not only is there a tolerance, differences are welcome at YCU. The faculty are interested in a student's success, since if the students don't succeed, neither will the university. Alumni are very active, and I've met with several successful alumni who have been very willing to help me in my studies and career. In many ways, college is what you make of it. If you go anywhere with a bad attitude and don't get involved, you'll feel that the college is terrible and that everyone there, both students and faculty, are awful people. In realty, it's more likely that it's the student's own problem, not someone else's.
