It was amazing living with Russians and with students from all over the former Soviet Union in a dormitory situation. I would never give up that opportunity.

We had a great apartment-style dormitory for International Students. It was in a great, safe part of St. Petersburg. It was conveniently located not too far from the city center, near a beautiful park and plenty of grocercy stores, etc.

The accomodation was conviniently located at the centre of St. Petersburg, but the cost of the room was a bit high for Russian standards.

Personal comments
The apartment consists of two small bedrooms, one bathroom, small kitchen. Three students live in each room. The place was very dirty and messy, specially the bathroom. Mice are running everywhere in the room. I couldn't stay in that room for more than 3 days and I asked to be transferred to a cleaner place and paid the difference.
