– the responsibility of professors
– you always get help and consultation if you need them
– active student life/student clubs, organisations

I graduated from international law faculty (MIEP branch).
I am strongly convinced that MGIMO is one of the most prestigious educational institution in Russia with a wide range of educational programs and specializations, which combines good reputation, excellent scientific and practical activities. Moreover, it is a great opportunity for students to build up a lot of international contacts not only with foreign universities, but also with international enterprises and so on. I was fully satisfied with the teachers’ qualifications and the provided opportunities to fulfil students’ potential.

I entered Moscow State Institute of International Relations at the Faculty of International Relations. Enrolled on the budget in with the overall result for the exams of 354 points in 2012. Honestly, it was hard to do, a competition of 4 people per seat. It was very difficult to pass the English language, many after it were cut. But I was lucky, I successfully passed everything, many do not believe, but there were no bribes. And in general for the first year of training, I did not pay for one thing. Very good preparation in foreign languages, and also have the opportunity to pass an internship abroad. The pedagogical staff is highly qualified people, among whom there are scientific employees. The university has a very large library, and not a bad hostel. As for minuses, there are a lot of majors among students. It is not always very pleasant to talk with them. But for those who came here to study, it is to learn, and not to wipe chairs and conduct social conversations, there is nothing that is not possible. Now I have moved to the second year, the Faculty of International Relations, and I plan to go abroad to exchange for a university next year. The diploma of this university is considered very prestigious and after its graduation many graduates find a good job, I hope that I will not be an exception.
