Overall
I wish I had known...
Well, I did not have any specific imaginations about how it is gonna be like. So, I can not tell exactly. Probably that the level of language skill could have been higher in order to be able to take better advantage of the environment.

Final comments
Well, concerning travelling I can recommend to do a trip to Petersburg and to feel the difference between Moscow and Petersburg. Also in summer Irkutsk is nice to visit although colleges also visited the town in december where it was quite cold. In case of deseases make sure you know where the western hospitals are to be found in Moscow.
If anyone looking for an international church and gospel music, you are welcomed to contact me.

Housing
Type of housing: Student dorm
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: With a family
Why?
In the student dorm we spoke a lot in english and as I was in Russia this didn't help my russian much. Nevertheless I had the opportunity through friends from my church there to speak Russian and to improve it to quite a satisfactory extend.

Personal comments
Housng was student dorm like. We had no Internet neither in the rooms nor in the dorm. But it proved to be not such essential as it probably would be in Vienna. We dwelled in double rooms. there were about 40 students coocking in one kitchen which was also student dorm alike. All in all I enjoyed living there.

Personal comments
I enjoyed most meeting with my friends from the International christian assembly of Moscow (25-30) nations and haging out with them. The places to go probably contain Hard Rock Cafe, Jet Set,... . Cafes are not so wide spread.
