The big old house of these auyls, the department’s aul is named "Bereke", and teachers offered a good selection of soup, cheese, baursak, kurt, meat and other delicacies. The students’ tables were also not less beautiful, and the first-year students prepared an auyl "Bakhyt", "Yrys", and the second- and third-year students welcomed their guests in "Konakjay", "Aktilek", "Marhabat" and "Bata".
