"The program here is wonderful. All of my teachers have been extremely helpful and I have made friends both here in the dorms and with others who live in the city and find that I often have many opportunities to practice Russian outside of the classroom. Already I feel that my Russian has improved immensely, especially my listening and speaking."
- J. Wilburn, University of South Carolina

"I’ve studied in Irkutsk and St. Petersburg with SRAS, but [Bishkek] is, by far, my favorite because of the intense focus on speaking skills. I spend about three hours, 4 times a week speaking one-on-one. It's such a unique opportunity! The people are also especially friendly here. My homestay is fantastic, the coordinator is a never-ending wealth of help, and the food of Central Asia is delicious."
- C. Hughes, The Evergreen State College

"At a time in my life when I was at a crossroads regarding where my career might take me, this course showed me a path that truly inspired me, and I haven't looked back since."
- B. DeYoung, Reed College

"My semester back home so far has been incredibly influenced by my semester abroad with SRAS and I find myself talking about it almost daily. Since many of my classes touch on the region (Europe after Socialism, Central Asian Politics), I'm able to add comments and insights unavailable to me before. My contributions to our Russian club have also been greatly enriched. Thank you for everything you did to facilitate this experience and going out of your way to ensure our success."
- E. Finn, University of Massachusetts Amherst

"I spent Fall and Spring with your program in St. Petersburg and it was truly the highlight and culmination of my University experience and just a banner year! I can't thank you enough for or gush enough about your program. I recommend it to just about everyone I talk to, whether or not they're interested in learning Russian."
- B. Lewis, University of Utah
