• Study Abroad Experience of an Indian Student in Russia

  Around this time last year, I was preparing to start my study abroad journey at ITMO University. As I was leaving my home, I had this fear of leaving behind my friends and family, yet I was equally excited about flying to a new country with a completely different culture and was optimistic about my future. It has been almost a year since I started studying at ITMO, and as I reflect on my journey so far, I see both the good memories and the difficult times. There were times when I was grateful for meeting wonderful people who became my good friends, times that made me fall in love with the beautiful city, and of course I can’t forget last year’s winter when I witnessed my first ever snowfall. However, there were days when I just wanted to go back home.

• Discovering Barcelona: Part 1

  Hi, my name is Mikhael and I am a third-year student at ITMO University. Six months after my return from academic exchange in Barcelona, the memories are still vivid and alive. Academic exchange is a unique opportunity to try to get a feel of education in another country and get acquainted with its traditions. However, I don’t want to write this article as a typical success story, there’s enough of it on the web. I will try, in addition to cultural features, to focus on some of the difficulties that I had to face so that future students would be a little more prepared. Let’s go!

  I think almost everyone has dreamt of studying in another country: having an unforgettable experience, meeting kindred spirits, and immersing themselves in the atmosphere of student life like they do in the movies. Indeed, it is impossible to deny the value of such experiences, career prospects after graduation, and much more. As someone who is currently a foreign student in the U.S.A., I really want to share my small discoveries with you and tell you more about what you will have to go through on the way to receiving the coveted letter of admission to a foreign university!

• Student Exchange in Europe and Why You Must Travel

  In my previous post, I have mentioned that a month in Pilsen is something like a temporal paradox. Additionally, I have recently found out that my small Czech town is a travel portal or, without fancy words, it is a highway to available trips.
