If I had to choose a study destination, I would have chosen Russia and VSU again. This place filled the five years of my youth with beautiful memories and valuable insights. I remember every day of my life here, I remember missing my classes, playing with my friends in the park, preparing for exams all night long. I remember being in Crimea with my sister, snowing, and the dormitory turning off the hot water… Thank you, Russia, Voronezh, VSU, my teachers and friends, for being with me for these five years!

Jie Teng Fei, China, Bachelor of Journalism
I came to Russia from China because I always liked the Russian language. I found it very interesting to study Russian. I chose to apply to VSU because it is the best university in the Voronezh Region. After graduation, I plan to work in my degree field, as a journalist. I will be glad to advise my friends and acquaintances to apply to VSU because it has talented and helpful teachers.
