Russia is... different
posted by Isabel Lopez in Russia forum
Hi! I did my whole bachelors degree in Commerce in Russia. You must know russian education is not he best, of course there are some great university, but in general it is not so good in terms of content.
Now, to do just one semester is a great idea, but know that is more what you gain on the experience outside the classroom than in it. There are a lot universities that have agreements with european institutions for student exchanges, there is also the erasmus program. You can look for the ones that offer a semester in english (they do exist), or you're gonna have to do the one year russian course prior (which i guess is not such a good idea for you)
You will meet great people, you will have great experiences, you will have fun, you will see yourself in a different and exciting world where you know many things are so wrong but yet you find it so fascinating. In fact in this facebook group are some things about life in Russia as a student http://www.facebook.com/groups/36055602027/Anyway, best wishes!
