In my opinion:
I loved it but I'm not sure everybody would.
Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
They are not accustomed to having many foreign students except from a few select neighboring countries. They were completely unprepared for me and so I had to initiate a lot of things myself.

Final comments
Living in Minsk was a wonderful experience. Life there is not easy and they take their academic studies quite seriously so you really need to work if you are going to keep up. The Belarusian people are wonderful and really made my stay there worth-while.

“I expected more”

Overall
You don't need to graduate from university to learn a language, you can take courses.
Of course we had a lot of different subjects, but superficially.
I expected more.

“Good teachers, terrible staff”

Overall
Hey, I studied in MGLU for 14 months and I do not recommend it! The professors are very good, but the administration is bureaucratic and unhelpful. If you ever have a problem, you can be sure they will make your life as difficult as they can, with no temptation of actually solving it. Professor Rudenko was a lowlight of my stay in Minsk.

“Scammers and Thieves”
Steve

Overall
Foreign students beware. The Russian language department is run by a bunch of scammers and thieves, the teachers are mostly okay people but the administration is all trying to rip you off in anyway possible. I don't know how they treat the local Belarusian students in this regard but they will try to suck every cent from you and they will delay repayments and to avoid refunding you if you have to leave Belarus for an emergency. Don't study here, they can't be trusted.

Pros
None, what good can I say when they literally stole a thousand dollars from me.
Cons
Not being scoundrels and thieves.
