Final comments
Above all, it's very useful to have a basic knowledge in Russian. And people who choose to go to Russia must be aware os the following: it's not easy to interact with a Russian; in general, they're not friendly peolple. It's necessary to be conscient that making friends there is not an easy task, although some positive differences are noticable between teenagers when compared to adults.

It is not a university to have fun. You'll have to study A LOT. Six days a week, a lot of homework and big assignments.

I really recomend living on campus. You'll get to meet different people who can really help you with studies. You can easily borrow notes and books. And another thing try not to mess up your relationship with professors, they note you by their personnal judgement.

A very nice on campus hotel-like residence. A room for two people with a bathroom. One kitchet for the entire floor. The room provided students with all the necessary furniture. No equipement.

Personal recommendation
I found it to be a positive experience but my experience was largely organised by my home university so I cannot really comment on the courses in general. The course I attended was very helpful and the teachers were very willing to help and were very understanding.

Final comments
Be prepared for big temperature variations. Moscow can seem quite hostile if you don't make the effort. Be prepared for a very different way of life. Life in Russia is not the same as in Western Europe.
