More from SRAS

"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

"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 wanted to find a program that combined my love of Russia and my passion for environmental studies. Because of my interest in environmental issues, Lake Baikal had always been a site of interest to me. Studying abroad in Siberia gives you the opportunity to see a completely different side of Russia and the Russian people. Just think, few people at home even know that Siberia is anything but a wintery tundra!"
- I. Korsgard

"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

"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
