Personal comments

It was typical college dorm living, but in Russia. It is not America and they have a different set of rules. Some students couldn't figure this out.

Housing

Type of housing: Apartment/House

Arranged by: Independently - My choice

If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House

Why?

The best option when living in Russia. On-campus accommodation is very cheap, but rooms are too small and there is no privacy. Other ways of accommodation are impossible in Russia.

Personal comments

The university helps in finding a flat, although there is always a cheaper solution when you do it on your own. Flats in Russia are very bad, very old, there are no gadgets, bathrooms are unusable! Although, when ready to pay high price, modern flats can be easily obtained.
