Hello everybody!
I'm a long-time lurker, first time poster. I'm in British Columbia, Canada and have been studying Russian for the last three years. I went on a 6 week study trip to Kiev last summer, and am looking at a couple of options for going to Russia next summer. I was originally planning on going with a university group (my university doesn't really offer any trips so I was looking at other universities) but came across the website www.russian-in-russia.com. I haven't been able to find anything good (or bad) about them except for the testimonials on their own site. Has anybody had any experiences with them? I don't want to pay a large of sum of money just to find upon arrival in Russia that I have no place to stay and that the company ran off with it! :D It would be ideal, as I could chose from a couple of places, and could chose the length of the trip.

Any feedback would be great.

Спасибо!
