Student Guide to Russia

There are many online travel guides for Russia. This one focuses specifically on those issues of interest to students and those planning to stay in Russia for extended periods.

As anyone who has lived in Russia will tell you, it's not for everyone. It's big, it's different, and it speaks Russian. If you are not willing to take chances, live off strange food, and embarrass yourself by slipping on foreign etiquette – we advise you to stay home. Russia is for growth and challenge. Be prepared for both.
