Chinese students usually use the agent’s services to submit their documents to a university, but I acted directly. And this was not so difficult.

Before setting off for Russia, make sure you have all required documents as well as some daily necessities. The things that came in handy were adapters for Russian sockets, two down-padded coats, some kinds of autumn and summer clothes. Bring a laptop with electronic books instead of printed ones.

Learn to cook! Russian cuisine can turn out to be unusual. And you are sure to appreciate the opportunity to cook familiar food in the dormitory.

Don’t miss the opportunity to see the sights in Moscow. Go on guided tours to Russian remote places. You will appreciate the beauty of landscapes and the cultural wealth of Russia. Studying the Russian language, don’t neglect scholarly and imaginative literature and watch movies. Discuss a wide variety of topics with your fellow students from Russia.

Remember that you can overcome all difficulties. Don’t be afraid to pursue your goal. Coming to Russia is a good choice. Good luck!
