About

HSE Illuminated is an online magazine created for students by students to provide news, tips and advice, how-to and articles about non-academic activities, campus life, faces and organizations of HSE.

Mission

No prizes for guessing why we named it HSE Illuminated. Of course, the title refers to “Everything Is Illuminated”, a novel by Jonathan Safran Foer, and it should shed some light on the aim of this project.

Real students' life in the University is far richer than it looks for the students who don’t speak Russian.

There is a lack of information in English. Most of announcements, news and invitations are published on Russian version of HSE site, in VK groups, etc.

But one day this situation should start changing. And we’re sure it is Today.

Our project is open for everybody. Both writers and readers together create common information environment and build an international student community.

Here are the 5 reasons why to join HSE Illuminated:

#1

#3
