Interesting fact
On 25 January 2024, a meeting between students and the President of Russia, Vladimir Putin, took place at the Student House to mark Student Day.
Over the course of a two-hour conversation, participants discussed the reform of higher education, the development prospects of the world-class 'Kantiana' campus in Kaliningrad, support measures for student families, the preservation of historical memory, the development of the volunteering movement, and other topics.
In keeping with Student House tradition, Vladimir Putin left his signature on a vinyl record of Pyotr Tchaikovsky's 'Concert No. 1' as a memento.
