Personal comments
Before coming to Moscow I felt inhibited in speaking Russian, but with the time, I improved my Russian and were not afraid to talk to people. Because in the dormitary there are only foreign students, we speak English all the time. This also helps me to improve my English.

It is very exciting to go by the Transsibirean railway and visit the Baikal. If you have some time left, go to Vladivostok. Of course, Mongolia and China are also very attractive, but in winter quite cold :-)

Academic
Course recommendations
It sometimes happens that teacher do not show up or rooms change without letting anyone know. In courses students do not pay much attention, so it is very noisy during the lectures.
