learn_russianHey, guys!
I want to go to Russia to improve Russian. I`m thinking to go to a university in Moscow (Moscow state), Petersburg (Petersburg state), Irkutsk (Irkutsk state), Krasnoyarsk (Krasnoyarsk state), or Volgograd (Volgograd state). If you know something about those cities, schools, can you tell me?
Also, what cities do you recommend to go to study Russian if you have any idea?
Have any of you transfered from one school to another? If did, did you have to get a new visa out of Russia?
Thanks

Date: 2004-10-20 05:56 am (UTC)If you're visiting Russia for more than 90 days and want to leave and re-enter, you'll need to get a multi-entry visa. These are, of course, more expensive than single entry, but you'll have more flexibility. When I was there (2002 for 4 months) I got a single entry and didn't really regret it. . .there was so much to see in the surrounding area that travelling to Europe was unnecessary.

Date: 2004-10-20 07:21 am (UTC)As to which particular University to choose, I'm not an expert here. The most popular foreign-language universities in Moscow are Moscow State University (МГУ), Moscow State Institute of International Relations (МГИМО), Russian State Humanitarian University (РГГУ). :-) Probably, their Russian-as-a-foreign-language education is also better than that of the others but I don't know it for sure.

Date: 2004-10-20 10:09 am (UTC)I live here and have strong idiosyncrasy for Moscow for it's smog, overpopulation, and execrable traffic. Perhaps, Muscovites would suggest you to go to Moscow... different people, different opinions.
Moscow State University is probably the first university in Russia, but St. Pete St. Uv is in the top, too. Irkutsk, Krasnoyarsk and Volgograd are more in "outskirts."
P. S. The architecture of St. Pete is amazingly splendid!

Date: 2004-11-02 09:55 pm (UTC)I was there this summer. Beautiful city, but veeeery растянут в пространстве (doesn't know how to say it in English), traveling from from one part to another can take a while. Bus numbers is 4 digits long 8-O.
Sorry, but I continue in Russian..
Сложно перемещаться между ценральной частью города и удаленными районами. Я гостил у приятельницы; она живет в районе Новая Ельцовка. Добираться до центра 40 минут, билет 15 рублей. Цены на внутригородской транспорт вообще сильно отличаются, в зависимости от маршрута (5-6-7-15 рублей). В Красноярске весь маршрутный (коммерческий) транспорт стоит 6 рублей, муниципальный (принадлежащий городу) - 5.
Академ-городок (где расположен университет и очень много различных институтов), в принципе, самодостаточен; можно без проблем жить в нем и почти не выбираться в город. Там очень красиво - все засажено деревьями, сумашедшие профессоры ездят на древних советских велосипедах.. Вообще, очень много велосипедистов. Недалеко море (искуственное .) - Обское водохранилище.
Ах да, сам я из Красноярска. Про качество образования в КГУ (Krasnoyarsk State University) ничего сказать не могу, а про сам город могу рассказать.
