The problem: the youth leaves the city.

“When I was 5 years old, my mom always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down “happy.” They told me I didn’t understand the assignment and I told them they did not understand life.” (unknown author)

“One should not always live in one city he or she should migrate from time to time.” (Prospective student’s parent)

“While visiting the U.S., I experienced the American student’s way of life. I wanted implement it in my life: to travel, work and live my own life. If I could change something, I would move to London instead of Moscow.” (Alex, born in Irkutsk; studying in Moscow)

•“Top students follow trends;• They cannot implement their knowledge here. They do not get fun here. • Human development is low;• Wealthy students follow their parents.” (Aleksandr, former government employee)

“It is a Russian countryside. There is nothing to do here.” (Current Irkutsk students)
