We have a few suggestions from our own student community! These guys aren’t just studying – they’re also creating amazing content!👇

🎬 Md. Arafat Rahman Jibon:

As a student blogger, I want to capture the vibrance of our university as well as its groundbreaking research. I create documentary-style vlogs that reflect my passion for history, architecture, and ITMO.

As a vlogger, traveling is more than just a journey across miles; it’s a deep dive into the soul of a place, its history, and its people. From the vibrant streets of India to the serene landscapes of Nepal and the rich heritage of Russia, every destination tells a unique story waiting to be discovered. It’s about not just the sights, but the essence of these incredible places – their culture, history, and spirit.
