Meeting at the Students’ Residence Hall
The Students’ Residence Hall is a place of accommodation for students who come from remote settlements, including villages and towns, to pursue their education. Living in a student residence hall teaches young people independence, effective time management, responsibility, and the ability to interact with others.
Every student living in the Students’ Residence Hall is required to comply with the internal regulations. These rules are established to ensure the safety, order, and comfortable living conditions of all residents.
On October 12, 2026, academic advisors from the Department of Economics of the Higher School of Economics and Business at Al-Farabi Kazakh National University held a meeting with students residing in Students’ Residence Hall No. 16. During the event, the academic advisors learned about the students’ everyday lives, toured the residence hall, assessed the living conditions, and explained the main internal regulations, emphasizing the importance of complying with them.
The main objective of the event was to explain the rules of living in the Students’ Residence Hall, emphasize the importance of following the internal regulations, and increase students’ sense of responsibility. Particular attention was paid to strengthening discipline, fostering mutual respect among students, and creating a safe and comfortable living environment.
The event was organized in alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): SDG 4 — Quality Education, SDG 5 — Gender Equality, and SDG 11 — Sustainable Cities and Communities. During the meeting, students were also informed about the significance of these goals and their relevance to everyday student life.
Students from the first, second, and third years of study who reside in the Students’ Residence Hall actively participated in the event. The meeting covered the rights and responsibilities of residence hall residents, maintaining cleanliness in shared spaces, observing quiet hours, and respecting the personal space of other residents. Students were reminded that compliance with the established rules is the responsibility of every resident.
The Sustainable Development Goal of Quality Education is closely linked to creating favorable conditions for students’ learning. Order and quiet in the residence hall help students prepare for classes and improve the quality of their education. The goal of Gender Equality involves ensuring equal opportunities for all students, respecting their rights, and preventing discrimination. Meanwhile, the goal of Sustainable Cities and Communities focuses on creating a safe, clean, and comfortable living environment.
