Studying in Russia

Hello everyone,

Would you recommend studying abroad in Russia?

Every year, 4 million young people from all over the world choose to study abroad for one semester or a full academic year. Would you encourage them to come and study in Russia?

In your opinion, what are the most prestigious colleges and universities in the country/area? Are these free of charge? If not, are tuition fees expensive? Are there many foreign students enrolled in these schools/colleges/universities? What is the main language of instruction at the university?

Thank you in advance for sharing!

Absolutely, having lived both in the US and in Russia I'd say it would be an invaluable experience for any student. The two educational systems are quite different from each other. I won't go into the details here since I covered this in a post on my blog .

Second, visiting another country not just Russia enriches ones' International perspective. Something that will be appreciated later in life. But as for Russia and Russians, having the ability to see this country, it's people and culture will help students understand that we are more alike than dissimilar. On a personal note I'd say instead of forced inscription every able bodied student should be compelled to serve as a good will ambassador to another country. I suspect this would end many political conflicts and bring the world closer to peace.

Thirdly, because the educational system in Russia is quite different it would give any student coming to study in Russia a broader knowledge and understanding in their respective fields. This knowledge would also be cultivated by gaining a new language as well.

Summing it up I'd say to any student considering this possibility to go for it, honestly what do they have to lose. Nothing! The rewards would be huge and the gained friendships would last a lifetime.

I think studying abroad and Russia to be precised is not bad after all. Their educational system is great and with a little push one can graduate, well equipped with the needed skills for any role associated with their area of studies. The language, one can say, can be a barrier but with a lot of practice it shouldn't be a problem. So on the whole, study in Russia, i will definitely recommend to my fellow applicants from around the world. Can't say the same for other countries. Never been there.
You heard about racism in Russia??? Well it's just like any other country. Racism exist everywhere in the world.

For most scholarship students, it is in Russian they study. But for private student (self sponsored) english can be an option.
Tuition fees are relatively expensive. For the presence of foreigners, yes there are a lot of foreigners.

It seems that getting a student visa is quite easy. The Federal Migration Service should be your contact.

ricklic, you say that it is possible to study in English. Do all universities propose that kind of option?

In terms of differences between the US and Russia, the main ones, for me, are the following:

- notetaking are compulsory
- Parents are involved in their children's academics
- Final exam accounts for 90% of your final grade...more stressfull
- Students from different class years do not mix each other
- Books are free at universities' libraries
- Russian students tend to help each other more
Well from the universities i know so far. I am now at the Russian University of Economics and yes, learning in English is possible. And i know most schools do same.
It's great to hear that you gonna study in Great Motherland, it gives you fundamental education in any science and teach how to overcome biggest problems, if you need practice russian, try this one聽
