A review on CIEE Russian Area Studies Program in St. Petersburg, Russia
Reviewed by Anonym.student on
This program I would recommend to everyone...
This program I would recommend to everyone remotely interested in the Eastern European culture! It was a fantastic experience.
I would recommend because even the people who didn't know how to behave learned to. I learned a lot of the Russian language in a few weeks. We went to over 30 museums in 6 weeks. Downside was just that I lived a host family in a communist-style apartment building and the water was brown and I slept on a fold-out chair.
And you have to be careful at night -- it is Russia after all. But overall I would recommend this program.

CIEE Russian Area Studies Program in St. Petersburg, Russia While I had an enriching experience in Russia...
Reviewed by Allegra P. on .
While I had an enriching experience in Russia in general, the CIEE program focused too much on class and not enough on exploring the city, I'm not sure I would recommend it. I wish my courses had incorporated more of St. Petersburg and it's culture.
