Zombifying schoolkids (applicants) is university slang for the process of persuading schoolkids to apply to one faculty or another at a university. The process is called zombification because, as a result, the schoolkid is supposed to really, really want to apply, without any rational argumentation whatsoever.
— Son, why do you want to apply to the Faculty of Computer Engineering at KhNURE?
— Well, because this guy came by, told us all about it in a cool way, I want to, I want to, I want to!!!
I went against the system. I’m going to give a talk for schoolkids called “University Does Not Teach You to Be Successful.”
Everyone really wants to get a higher education, to get into a university. But is it always a guarantee of achieving success?
Unfortunately, or fortunately, a university does not guarantee success in life, but with the right approach to education and self-education it significantly increases the chances of success.
Applicants, and often students who are already studying at a university, often have questions:
— Is it enough to simply attend all the classes and get an “excellent” in the subject in order to find a good job?
— How do you make a list of short-term and long-term goals while studying at university?
— How do you reach the goal and not lose your way?
That is exactly what we’ll talk about at the open meeting of the IT-Univer Smart Club for schoolkids
The IT-Univer Smart Club for schoolkids is holding its first open meeting this year.
The meeting will take place on October 31, 2015, at 3:30 p.m. at 4 Krasina St. (in the premises of the Computer and Technology College of NTU “KhPI”).
