Student Life
The University students exercise self-governance through the Student Council (established in 1996). The Council aims to actively participate in the University life and assist in promoting discussion and resolution of urgent issues in the academic process, and in social life of the students.
The Council actively cooperates with the Student Councils of different Universities in Armenia and abroad. The SC organizes graduation ceremonies, publication of the “Polyglot-New” newspaper; round table discussions, intellectual games, conferences, workshops and seminars, etc. YSLU students work as volunteers in various organizations and closely cooperate with YSLU Career Center. The students regularly visit different orphanages in Yerevan and regions, organize different sport, scientific and cultural events.

Famous quotes containing the words student and/or life:
“Now that Stevenson is dead I can think of but one English- speaking author who is really keeping his self-respect and sticking for perfection. Of course I refer to that mighty master of language and keen student of human actions and motives, Henry James.”
—Willa Cather (1873–1947)
“Chaucer sawed life in half and out tumbled hundreds of unpremeditated lives, because he didn’t have the cast-iron grid of a priori coherence that makes reading Goethe, Shakespeare, or Dante an exercise in searching for signs of life among the conventions, compulsions, self-justifications, proofs, wise saws, simple but powerful messages, and poetry.”
—Marvin Mudrick (1921–1986)
