My Alma Mater is a top tier place to study science and technology, alas, it lacks some good sponsorship to develop its Philological programs. Unfortunately, my University has poor variety of foreign language professors, we have a few, who are best at their subject of study, though due to a massive flow of students, it does cause some difficulties with studies. I truly enjoyed the atmosphere there and a friendly community. My university also provides with opportunities of participation in conferences, foreign forums and semester-length programs. I suppose it is at its first stage of a great faculty and there's more to prosper and expand.
its a very good university with good professors willing to help student any point of time
In my case my experience was good, i studied economics in russian language so the difficulty (as a Spanish language born) was hard, but It made me strong and not afraid to learn other languages and then study in that language, of course one of the main reasons that i quit from the university was because of the current political situation, the sanctions affected a lot the value of the Russian diploma so that was the reason for my decision to search for better options. Clases were difficult because of the language, but they were professional and my professors were open to questions and doubts from me and my classmates, talking about them, they were really nice, i live an internationalization that many people are afraid of, Russian citizens are cold people in winter, but in the summer flourish and bloom, i will never forget how the university campus changed so good in the spring and summer seasons. My time in the Russian Federation was priceless and i understood that my future was to study and live abroad.
