1. The two easiest means to study in Russia are with the helpful programs provided by their home universities and study abroad programs at specific institutes like the School for International Training. Students searching for more immersion may wish to get education at Russian universities. The cheapest means to do it is by direct enrollment, still such facilitating organizations as the School of Russian & Asian Studies provide reasonably-priced assistance.
2. Work with your university or college’s study abroad program to guarantee your credits transfer. The great time to do it is before enrolling in any study abroad program, as transfer requirements differ from university to university. You do not want to know at the end of the semester your credit will not transfer! Make sure to ask how learning in the country will affect the transcript. Will marks transfer, or only credits? Will the classes count for the general major or education requirements?
3. The two common student accommodations are dormitories at Russian universities and homestays with Russian families. Most Russian families host international students in their apartments for optional money. It is a very affordable choice for students and it can be a good way to get to know more about the country’s culture and family life. In case you would meet numerous Russian and foreign students your age, dormitories might be a great choice.
4. Though prices in the country are low in comparison with the West, student ID cards will make cultural events such as museums, ballet, theatre, and opera more affordable.
