Student Reviews
Too much useless theoretical knowledge
Anonymous rated 3 out of 5 stars
I would say that my experience overall was okay. But I think that I did not have enough practical experience and knowledge. Professors here are cool but sometimes it feels like they are not interested in students at all.
Not what I expected
Anonymous rated 2 out of 5 stars
I don’t think Russian universities are very good compared with the universities in Europe, they treat you like a 5 year old child.
