Polytechnic University or St. Petersburg State University?

Question

IT education

I know there are a lot of questions like this, but I just can't figure it out. Points 252 (with computer science, yes).
I liked this department at the Polytechnic University - programming, robots, space, it looks interesting.
But there are interesting areas in St. Petersburg State University too -

02.03.02: Фундаментальная информатика и информационные технологии
01.03.02: Прикладная математика и информатика (Прикладная математика, фундаментальная информатика и программирование)

Both on PM-PU
So what to choose? Curricula and there and there are very interesting. In the Polytechnic University, as I understand it, there is a little more physics, everything is more applied, in St. Petersburg State University there will be a little more furious matan and less physics, more academic. In principle, I love physics, I tend to polytechnic, but there are no reviews at all. Does anyone know how it is there? Maybe someone graduated or is now studying.
PS at the Polytechnic University, even if I don’t get through the scores in some unknown way, there is a “Software Engineering” with the Unified State Examination in Physics and a diploma for admission - maybe someone knows how it is, what kind of beast is this?
PPS I don't like Olympiad programming, that's why I don't really consider ITMO. Nothing prevents you from going to LETI, there is even a diploma for their conference... but why?

Answer 1

Ask the students of the Polytechnic University how they study there.
Everything is fine with us at St Petersburg University, there are no particular pitfalls. That's just PM-PU is a rather free faculty, mat-fur will be more hardcore if mathematics is of interest.
Software Engineering is also a normal direction, in our realities, it is necessary to look, however, at the curriculum, and not at the name.

Answer 2

I recommend SPbU.
No matter how cool the Polytechnic University is, St. Petersburg State University is still a classic university.

Answer 3

I faced a similar choice 10 years ago (Polytech FTK or St. Petersburg State University MatMeh). Chose Polytech. I don't regret it, as I most likely wouldn't regret choosing MatMech, because the level is approximately the same. Ultimately, the scales were tilted in favor of the Polytechnic University by the territorial location of the university itself and the dormitories.

Answer 4

In vain do not consider ITMO. There are olympiad groups - like 2 pieces. Other than that, there are many areas to choose from. And the university is more applied, more modern. There are subtleties (with a military commissar, with a point-rating system, for example), but I would not dismiss ITMO.

Answer 5

In general, as I understand it well, both there and there, but the Polytechnic University is geographically more convenient and the building is more beautiful :) I choose it. There was a choice between three directions, but it’s better to create one question for this (it seems that on the toaster there is an unspoken rule of one question, one answer).

Answer 6

It seems that after the 2018 elections in the Russian Federation they want to persuade St. Petersburg State University to move - though it’s still not clear where, there is still a year or two .. The Polytechnic University seems not to be touched in this regard!
