A wonderful experience Past Review
By A student (Wellesley College) - abroad from 09/04/2017 to 12/15/2017 with
Independent University of Moscow: Math in Moscow
It was definitely a worthwhile experience. It was a very different way of doing mathematics for me, and I learned a lot. Moscow was also a fabulous city to explore.
