The participants of the evening shared interesting facts about themselves, made new acquaintances and said that they are looking forward to meeting in person as soon as the quarantine ends.

She is also glad that everyone had the opportunity not only to have a good time, but also to share the problems they are facing: "We heard complaints about the culture in the dormitories and communication with the teachers, so we will try to solve them in the near future."
