HSE is a very international university, with many interesting educational opportunities and lots of social events, activities, and clubs for both Russian and international students. They provide amazing opportunities to expand one’s skillset and interact with specialists from a variety of professional fields.
Russia is very rich in culture. I would most definitely recommend being open to experiencing Russia’s people and culture. Make friends, explore Russia’s museums and galleries, and see at least a few of its many beautiful, diverse travel destinations.
Many cultural events in Russia are either free of charge or not that pricey. Getting acquainted with other cultures first-hand is an incredibly enriching and fulfilling life experience.
Mostly, I am as a student attending classes

Moscow is a very beautiful, energetic, and cosmopolitan city. I love living in it.
I must admit, though, that I mostly placement of navigation menu? only see what is on my way to and from university. I hope to do more exploring in the future. I am a fan of the State Tretyakov Gallery and the Korean Cultural Centre—those would definitely be on my ‘to visit’ list if friends came to visit me in Moscow.
I live in a one-room apartment. I buy groceries and like to cook, but considering my rather busy academic life, I do not cook on a daily basis. If I do, though, I love to make fresh salads and pasta.
Russian is one of my mother tongues, so I feel very comfortable communicating in it. I would recommend learning Russian when studying here.
One could use English without any

— How do you spend your time outside of class?
— Truth be told, apart from the little media clean email volunteering I am currently doing and the Korean singing classes I am attending at the Korean Cultural Centre, I am mostly trying to fill my energy tank in my free time by engaging in relaxing activities such as phone calls with family and friends, singing, dancing, going to the sauna, going for walks, and consuming various forms of content that I enjoy.
