Университеты США – новости от Никиты Иванченко

Никита Иванченко в июне 2013 года заканчивает обучение в физмат лицее №5 и в ДЮСШ г.Долгопрудного. Дальнейшее образование и теннисную карьеру Никита хочет продолжить в одном из университетов США.

Выбор предстоит непростой. С одной стороны, хочется учиться в престижном университете и получить достойное экономическое образование, а с другой  — тренироваться в сильной теннисной команде, повысить своё спортивное мастерство и выйти на приличный международный уровень.

На прошлой неделе Никита сыграл свой последний международный турнир серии Tennis Europe (до 16 лет) и с 2013 года ему предстоит играть международные турниры ITF (18 лет и старше).

Несмотря на колоссальную загруженность, Никита нашёл время и поделился информацией о трёх наиболее вероятных (на сегодняшний день) университетах, которые он рассматривает для продолжения обучения.

Что интересно, все три университета расположены примерно на одной широте (на этой же широте находится Средиземное море).

Приведу для ознакомления информацию об университетах.

Southern Virginia University • One University Hill Drive • Buena Vista, Virginia

Founded in 1867 and renewed in 1996, Southern Virginia is one of 50 top All-American Colleges chosen by the Intercollegiate Studies Institute.

Set in the majestic Shenandoah Valley at the base of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Southern Virginia University rests atop a tree-shaded hill in Buena Vista, Virginia.

Southern Virginia University began as Bowling Green Female Seminary in 1867. At that time, «seminary» referred to a school for girls. In 1900, the school moved to a resort hotel in Buena Vista and changed its name to Southern Seminary. The hotel, built in 1890, is now Main Hall and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. From 1922 to 1996, the school operated as a junior college until declining enrollments and financial instability threatened to close its doors. In 1996, a group of interested Latter-day Saints assumed responsibility for the institution, its assets and liabilities, and converted it into a four-year liberal arts college. That fall, the «new» Southern Virginia College enrolled 74 students. Since then it has grown to more than 800 students. In 2001, the name was changed to Southern Virginia University.
