"We had a great time overall. The students were super impressed with SRAS -- the guides, the accommodations, the excursions, etc. The guides were super knowledgeable and kind--the only thing that would improve the tours is volume. They tend to speak quietly so a few people who can't hear lose interest. But we loved the Hermitage art project and Novgorod, and the bunker, and going behind the fountains at Peterhof, and the boat to Peterhof... We loved everything!"
- Ona Renner-Fahey, University of Montana

"The SRAS guides were excellent! They really knew their stuff and were able to relate the history of the places we visited in an interesting and inventive way. It was obvious they had a lot of experience working with American students."
- Charles Arndt III, Union College

"Renee, the work that you do is so far beyond any kind of formal service or trip planning in your vision, scope, and ability to think of absolutely everything and anticipate potential problems in advance. You clearly have a gift for this."
- Andrea Lanoux, Connecticut College

"My Dear Renee, I am still in Kazakhstan but can report back we had a perfectly splendid time in Kyrgyzstan. The students and I want to collectively buy a little plot of land and a yurt or house in the village at the base of the mountains. They loved their families and I fell in love with Kenzhe, we want to include her in our documentary. I will be in touch over the next two weeks. Forever grateful to you."
- Jane Knox-Voina, Bowdoin College

"Thanks again to (SRAS Assistant Director) Josh Wilson for being so helpful with getting us started! At our concluding discussion class yesterday I asked the students to write and then present five "Kliuchevykh slov" about their experience. Several of them wound up referencing Josh's comments about trying to observe without judging, which he made during the Moscow Walking Tour. Thanks for helping me teach this course!"
- Jane Costlow, Bates College

Warsaw

Perhaps more than any other European capital, this city reflects its turbulent history. Reduced to ruins in WWII, Warsaw is now home to one of the most dynamic economies in Europe and a booming modern culture. SRAS students in Warsaw focus on security studies, diplomacy, policy, and history.

Tbilisi

Tbilisi is a lively political, economic, and cultural hub, yet it is still easy to navigate and the pace of life is slow enough that people still stop to have conversations with each other. Immerse yourself in this beautiful city rich with history, broad boulevards, and a diverse mix of people.

Riga has long been a popular vacation spot for its surrounding rich forests, white sand beaches, and rich architectural heritage. Although the city feels very European, prices are much lower than in the rest of Europe, and Russian is still used in daily life on the streets. Riga is an excellent place to practice your language and to further explore the fascinating Baltic countries.
