Accommodation

On campus (approx. $100 per month):

Accommodations are in the comfortable residence hall for foreign students at the University. Students live in two-room suites, two students per room, four students per suit, with a kitchenette (stove, microwave and refrigerator), a toilet and bath tub/shower in each suite.

With host family, breakfast included (approx. $200 per month):

The Host Family Program gives students the opportunity to live in a specially selected Russian home. The purpose is to allow student exposure to everyday family life and other aspects of Russian culture, as well as a rich linguistic environment. Students who live with a family usually learn more about Russian lifestyles and acquire Russian language faster than others. Breakfast is included in the cost. Payments are to be made directly to the host family and on monthly basis.
