Study abroad in the most European Russian city. Founded in 1703 as Russia’s “Window to the West”, it still retains many of the Baroque splendors of the former empire, more bridges than Venice and a fairy-tale atmosphere of gold-domed churches, elaborate palaces and riverside parks.

St. Petersburg Affected Me For Life

It was completely worthwhile. I was only there for 5 week but those 5 weeks impacted my life forever. I made memories and friendships that will last forever, as well as I learn how to be a global citizen.
