At this university (Skoltech) I had access to world-class professors who were easily accessible most of the time and they pay careful attention to student questions and demands. Well-equipt labs and most of all academic supervisors and student relationships were great.
English is the language of instruction atmy school. Zero language barrier for international students 😊
My overall study experience was amazing! I really like about the university that is super international and focus on making entrepreneurs out of their students. It can be just improved that students speak less Russian during the breaks even if there are 80% Russian students (university is in English).
