I wish I had known...
The only suggestion I had was that I wish that I had known more about Moscow State University as a school before arriving.

Final comments
I truly believe that my experience in Russia changed my life.
Don't bring traveller's cheques
Have an open mind
Learn the alphabet, and have fun learning the language!
Maximize your time, and see it all if you can.
If you can, stay a minimum of 1 month. Going for 2 weeks just doesn't capture the true essence of what the experience of Russia is about.

“Great theoretical knowledge, but lack of practical skills”
Dmitrii P
Russia, Graduate
Sociology, 2019
Overall
The university is considered to be the most desirable and recognised place to study in Russia.
The theoretical knowledge I have received is massive, which on the other hand, was not supported by decent amount of practical tasks. I got impression that the purpose of the studies were to raise a new generation of theoretically skilled persons who would eventually get PhD in sociology and build their careers in teaching.
The good thing about being a student there is that everyone has loads of opportunities for non-class activities, as to sports, volunteering, arts, workshops.
The university is orientated on technical disciplines.

Mariiam T
Russia, Graduate
Management Science, 2022
Overall
The Master Programme in International Business and Strategy provides a strong foundation in launching and managing international companies. The programme enables students to build upon previous academic studies that might not have included a strong managerial or economics component.
