Yes Lauren T - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
Yes. So much more independent and outgoing from it. Greatly impacted my cultural awareness. I am much more openminded. I know a lot about Russian history and culture aspects I could have only gained from living there. I am now double majoring thanks to this program. I absolutely loved everything about their culture. Katherine L - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
For how expensive the experience was, I and many of my classmates were extremely unprepared for the situations we were going to expect. Part of this is the fault of the SAO, and part of this is because of the extreme weather conditions we experienced in our study time. I really feel like the SAO could have done a better job plan...

My study abroad experience (in Russia) was everything I wanted it to be, and just a little more. But the bottom line is that I walked away knowing Russian language and culture, which I couldn't have learned in the US. Cain M - Tulane University View Entire Review
Absolutely worthwhile. The culture is vastly different from anything I was used to, which was challenging, but in only five weeks I feel like my experience has prepared me for almost any other country I could find myself. Chris S - The University of Texas at Austin View Entire Review
Absolutely. I've learned a lot about myself, Russian culture and language, and my interests looking forward. Lilia C - Tufts University View Entire Review
Aside from the language and culture, I grew a lot as a person while studying abroad in Moscow. Thomas K - University of Wisconsin - Madison View Entire Review
