It's no secret that most of the time for any person is associated with learning. The first is kindergarten. Then a school and a higher educational institution or technical school. At the same time, getting an education is often associated with moving to a completely unfamiliar city where there are no relatives and relatives. In this case, dormitories belonging to certain universities come to the rescue. Today we will talk about the Moscow University of Mechanical Engineering, or MAMI. The hostel and other types of housing where students live deserve special attention. And reviews about them make it possible to form a general impression of the situation at the university as a whole.
General information about the university
Moscow University of Mechanical Engineering, better known as MAMI, was founded in 1865. Its main building was located on B. Semenovskaya Street, 38. It included three branches at once:
- Representation of the Kolomna Institute.
- Podolsk Institute.
- Moscow State University, located in the city of Serpukhov (Moscow region).
MAMI had a hostel, and not even one. All these buildings were under the complete control of the representative offices and management of the university.
Repeated reorganization of the university
During its existence, MAMI (every student at the university could find a hostel here) was subjected to repeated reorganization and restructuring. For example, in 2013 it was connected to the Moscow State Evening Metallurgical Institute (MGVMI). In the same year, Moscow State Open University named after V. S. Chernomyrdin, or simply MGOU, succumbed to the merger with MAMI.
In March 2016, the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation again decided to restructure MAMI. This time, the university itself came under the wing of a larger and more successful colleague - the Moscow Polytechnic University (Moscow Polytech). However, despite this highly predictable merger, many students still continue to call their university MAMI.
Checking in the dormitory of this university is carried out according to the scenario. And the very reorganization of the educational institution is almost imperceptible and painless.
Address, website, how to get there
At the moment, the main building of the Moscow Polytechnic University is located at the same address where MAMI used to be. The dormitory and other places to accommodate non-resident students also remained at the addresses that were previously. All important information for applicants, students and graduates of the university is on the official website of the organization: mospolytech.ru.
You can get to the main building of the university by public transport, following to the metro station "Elektrozavodskaya". It remains to walk about 380 m from it- and you will find the building of the educational institution. Also, students can get to another metro station called "Semenovskaya", and then it remains only to walk about 550 m to the university. It is also possible to get here from the metro station "Preobrazhenskaya Ploshchad". From it you will need to walk about 1.7 km to the university building. If you wish, it is easy to get to the Polytech by a private car, following Bolshaya Semenovskaya Street, through Medovy or Drum Lane.
