Roman Fischer, Cologne, Germany. He graduated from the Department of Economics and Finance with a degree in Marketing. He also participated in the international student exchange program

When I came to Saint Petersburg, my Russian was not so good. I could only talk about the weather. Also, winter caught me by surprise, and I was always cold.

The clothes I brought along turned out to be unfit for such harsh weather.

I always asked my teachers, fellow students, and even passers-by many questions. And this worked for my benefit—everyone was happy to answer my questions, help, and support me. They always asked how I was. I started absorbing knowledge and made a lot of friends very quickly. Finally, everything that happened to me at the university became of great importance. I settled in Saint Petersburg, and the skills I acquired at the university helped me set up my enterprise. Now my company is entering the export market.

Zhang Mingzi, Beijing, China. A third-year postgraduate student majoring in Art Studies

I started studying Russian in China. When I came to Saint Petersburg, I realized that my accent made my learning process more difficult. In my first year at the university, I was afraid to ask something once again because I thought that my teachers wouldn't understand me. But they noticed my fear and supported me. They gave me some extra assignments and a list of things I needed for my studies, helped me understand their lectures. Before long, I made friends with my fellow students.

I managed to quickly improve my Russian. I graduated from the university with honors, embarked on my Master's degree, joined the Saint Petersburg Union of Designers, created four fashion collections. I work as an advising specialist at the preparatory department for foreign citizens at my university.
