“Living in Russia has been such an amazing experience. Russia has always been a land relatively unknown to citizens of the USA. My eyes have been opened to the beauty of the culture, the hospitality of the people and the riches of the History. Our study abroad program was organized and run by talented professors who discussed current issues from a neutral perspective. They never tried to sway our opinions. They allowed us to formulate our own opinions and come to our own conclusions. I am astounded by the program and the professors.” Aaron Carlson, USA.
“I came to Russia with the hope of greatly improving my Russian, that was my goal. Our first day, I remember sitting there having the teachers introduce themselves, and just the genuine warmth and sincere excitement that I felt from all of them. We were welcomed as a part of the University, not just exchange students. That was my first impression, and it remained true throughout the whole program. All of our teachers were genuinely interested in the development of our Russian, and making sure everything was doing well personally also. Our host mother was great, the city was perfect, the program organized, and the teachers awesome. Couldn’t have asked for more!” Christopher Larson, USA.
