Program Overview
- Program Description:
- Students on the Russian Language Study Tour live in Petrozavodsk in the Pedagogical Academy dormitory and have many opportunities to meet and interact with Russian students who are eager to make friends with their American counterparts. Indeed, contact with Russian speakers outside the classroom plays as important a role in language training as formal coursework. American students are encouraged to spend most of their time with Russian speakers - not with other Americans.
