try to profit from traveling around Russia, it doesn't cost much espesially in the train and leaves a life long memories. Explore Trans Siberian Railroad and go up to lake Baikal area. Or take a trip around Moscow - the Golden ring of town such as Vladimir, Suzdal, Rostov, that are monument dating from 9-11th century

Overall

Besides profile , students can attend courses in other faculties.Campus architecture is very impressive.At my faculty almost all studetns was very strong and at the same time large part of them were not interested in anything other than studying,so because of it student life was boring some times?but active students there are too, if you want your student life could be interesting

Pros

cool courses,modern doorm (almost free),ther are many cool teachers

Cons

not all teachers realy cool,too many old teachers

It's not an easy country, most people have a love-hate relationship with it. That's it really: love it and hate it... It's a great experience!

Air travel getting cheaper, train tickets need booking in advance for longer journies, keep your passport to hand and don't look the militsia in the face!!
