Shatter Stereotypes about Russia

Maria Kalmykova, a student of the faculty of World Economics and World Politics, shares her impressions of studying at Seoultech, South Korea.

Studying abroad gives you a great opportunity to gain a unique advantage. You can get not only new knowledge about the subjects you will study at your host university, but also benefit from the experience of collaborating with people from different cultures, learning how to understand the mentality of other people and the country you are visiting. Many things might surprise and shock you, but it’s important to try new things and dive into a different life.

Never be afraid to ask questions. Be ready to communicate. You are not the only person who is interested in investigating different lifestyles, habits, and the specifics of the country where you are studying, you might also be an “object of study” for people from a foreign country.
