I came back from Russia a completely different person. I gained self-confidence, became more mature, learned a new language, and solidified my aspirations to get involved with foreign policy after graduation. Katie S - Randolph-Macon College View Entire Review

Yes! Going to Russia starched me in different ways. i learned to appreciate and value things that i already did at a new level. Found new respect for those who do not speak english, and brought personal growth in many levels. Laurita T - Point Loma Nazarene University View Entire Review
I had the most incredible experience. I loved the city, it was so beautiful and there was always something to do. The language and people take a little time to adjust to, but it's well worth it. Furthermore, I had a blast living and traveling with my fellow AIFS students - we're all still good friends! My experience in St. Peter... Elissa Lee S - Iowa State University View Entire Review

My study abroad experience in Russia were some of the best four months of my life. I'll never forget all the people I met and all the places I saw.

I would study abroad in Russia again, however I would choose a different program to have a different experience and not to repeat anything of last semester.

Definitely worth it. Stephanie B - Indiana University of Pennsylvania View Entire Review
