Highlights

- Host University:
Lomonosov Moscow State University (MSU), founded in 1755, has a long-standing tradition of academic excellence. It is the top scientific and educational institution in Russia, and one of the leading universities in the world. MSU has a history of distinguished professors and researchers, including Nobel and Fields Medal Laureates.

- 45,000 undergraduates and graduates
- 40% are international
- Affiliations with 150 scientific centers and universities worldwide

- Student Life:
Russia is experiencing a profound transformation. With the collapse of the U.S.S.R. in 1991, the country moved from communism to capitalism, from authoritarian rule to a democracy, from religious intolerance to freedom of worship, and from state-controlled academia to privately funded research and education. Russia has long been at the forefront of global politics and economics; during the Imperial, Soviet and modern era it helped shape the world as we know it.

Moscow is the heart of Russia, its political capital and center of commerce, religion, science, education and culture. The Kremlin, Red Square, St. Basils Cathedral, museums, galleries, ballet, shops and nightlife are world-renowned. Ten million people call Moscow home.

Students live at the main MSU dormitory, in single-occupancy rooms that are part of a two-room suite with a living area and bathroom. Student activities include sports, academic clubs and social gatherings with Russian and other international students. Moscow has a thriving nightlife full of theaters, nightclubs and cultural events.

- Excursions:
* Moscow City Tour (orientation)
