While in Moscow, students from USA live in dorms at the Higher School of Economics (HSE) and also take classes on Russian language. Justice Browning talks about dorm life and being at student at HSE.
One of the most interesting part of the study abroad trip is living in the dorms.First day we arrived we checked into the dorms and received our keys. I had the honor of dragging all my luggage upstairs because the dorms have no elevators.Inside of each room there were two beds a closet and a bookcase. Each bed comes with one blanket a pillow and a sheet set.each room also comes with a refrigerator. On each floor you have community bathroom, showers and kitchen.
Studying at Moscow School of Higher Economic is also a major part of our trip. Everyday me and my fellow classmates wake up around 7:30 am and prepare for classes. We travel through two different metro station before finally arriving to our university. On average it takes around 30 minutes on metro and then a 15 minute walk. We have classes Monday and Wednesday from 10 am-3:50 pm and Tuesday and Thursday from 10 am-1pm. In class we focus on reading, writing and pronunciation. In class we do different worksheet to help improve our weak points. We play many games to help improve our Russia but also keep us interested. We practice conversations that helps us complete everyday tasks while also learning more about each other.
