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.

The Family Of Sites: Student Research and Classroom Discussion Resources
We created the SRAS Family of Sites to provide a wide-ranging and informed look at the politics, arts, cultures, languages, histories, pop cultures, economies, and identities of the diverse Eurasian landmass.
Students on our Online Research Internships and Location Ambassador programs work alongside our editors to develop content for these sites. They build a writing portfolio that demonstrates skills, knowledge, and experience to potential employers or graduate programs.
