"Going to Russia with Study Abroad was truly the experience of a lifetime for me. This program has enabled me to achieve numerous goals that I have dreamed about for as long as I can remember."

"During my time in Russia, I was able to cement grammatical rules of Russian that I had been struggling with as long as I have been studying the language.  I learned much more vocabulary than I would have by taking courses in America, simply because I needed to constantly learn new words to navigate my way through common interactions I would have with Russian natives on a daily basis.  My Russian significantly improved as a result of this method, and I found myself conversing with people in public about various topics with full comprehension.

Going to Russia, and successfully becoming conversational in the language, is something I have always dreamed of doing.  This will always remain beneficial for me in my future studies, career, and personal life."
