Personal comments
It is impossible to give just one spot to go for each of the sections above in Moscow. This city has so much to offer, and so many different places to visit that are equally beautiful, fascinating and fun. Some highlights were the Kremlin, Red Square, Ismaylovsky Park, Discouria (an incredible Georgian restaurant), the Tretyakov museum, all of the Churches and parks. The circus, ballet, symphonies were all incredible events!

Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
The appartment market in Moscow is not easy to navigate, and it is easy to be ripped off. The dorm is close to campus and you meet other students easily that way.

For 75 bucks a month I got a single room in a block of two rooms with a bathroom. The building was the Glavnoe Zdanie (Main Building) on MSU campus, the room was just remodeled and 7 sq meters. Great location and wonderful roommate.

Personal comments
The housing was good. There is one unit, which consists of two rooms, bathroom and toilette. That means, in this unit live two students, each having his own room. Sometimes it was a bit cold in there, but in general I felt comfortable. The only thing I hated was the presence of cockroaches!!

Personal comments
The most important reason for me going to Moscow was the chance to improve my Russian. I did a lot of preparation before the semester in my home country. In Moscow I very rarely used English as I knew that the only chance to improve my Russian is that I speak Russian in any situation and not just a few phrases I already knew.
