I wish I had known...
I only wish that I could have spoken Russian better before I went. But some advice, Russia is not as dangerous as Westerners make it out to be. Street crime in St. Petersburg, i.e. muggings, is comparable to any Western metropolis. Just use common sense and you should be okay.

Personal recommendation
I had been to Russia on a high school exchange twice before I studied there through my university. However, these exchanges were to Moscow. I chose to study in St. Petersburg, although I thought I would rather be in Moscow. I was wrong! I feel like St. Petersburg is my home and I hope to return one day for an extended amount of time. These feelings are in a large part generated from the staff at the university, as well as the friends I made there who were in my classes or in my dorm.

Look on the internet for ticket prices. Travel agents in America will rip you off! If you don't speak Russian when you get there, don't worry. Try to speak in Russian, people will appreciate that more than if you speak in English. Many people don't speak English like they do in Western Europe. Be careful at tourist traps. Like I said, it's not as dangerous as people might think, but don't be ignorant of your surroundings.

I am interested in internship abroad! Even more! I am fast and charismatic, workaholic.
For 4 years I worked as an assistant to the chief director of the organization in Veliky Ustyug. In St. Petersburg I was an employee of the trade union of the Technological Institute from 2013 to 2018. At the moment I am writing a diploma at the 1 st degree in technical specialty and at the same time I study at 2 m (PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT), I plan in the near future to get a third degree. In sales since 2014. I also graduated from courses at the SWISSAM business school. My English proficiency level is UPPER INTERMEDIATE. I Have experience in START UP projects. I have knowledge of various sales schemes. I am very sociable and active. I visited 25 countries and constantly expand my horizons. Correct oral and written language.

Overall
The University I graduated from provided solid education and necessary hard and soft skills. Yet, these applicable for people who are interested in technology or construction studies. As for Language Branch - it gives a competitive knowledge of English language, translational studies l, but the level of education of the second language could be better.

Overall
La vida en rusia es muy d8f8c8l, ya que el idioma es primordial para poder tener una relación entre profesores y estudiantes,  por ese motivo hay curso de ruso intensivo, que vale la pena seguir para después entender, en mi caso fue muy importante ya que eso pude desarrollar la interrelación entre mis compañeros y amigos, la universidad  es excelente en todo sentido ya que tiene alta tecnología, y algún día tengo que regresar a Rusia para pasar mis vacaciones

Take the opportunity to travel - to Finland, Sweden or the Baltics, for example. Bring a journal and your favorite music. Keep an open mind and let things grow on you.

If you are planning on staying a whole year, maybe start off living in the hostel, but most people enjoy having a change and living in a family (if you want to improve the language and knowledge of culture) or in a flat (for the social life)
