Why did you choose this particular\nuniversity?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\nWhen\nI decided to study in Russia, I found out that only 4 Russian\nuniversities occupy high positions in the world ranking of\nuniversities. One of them was Kazan (Volga region) Federal\nUniversity, so I went there to study at preparatory school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\n<strong>2)\nHow did you imagine your life in Russia before coming here?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\nBefore\ncoming, I imagined my life in Russia well, because a lot of Russians\ncome to my country every year to rest, and I met several of them.\nFrom them I learned more about Russia, so I thought that it would not\nbe difficult for me to get used to a new life in another country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\n<strong>3)\nWhat particularly surprised you in the real life of Russian people?\nWhat unusual problems did you encounter in Russia?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\nThis\nis my third year in Russia, but it still amazes me that my mother and\nher child walk in winter at sub-zero temperatures. It was difficult\nfor me to choose my own food, since I did not know the name of many\ndishes and have never tried them. I did not encounter problems in\nRussia. All the laws are like in my homeland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\n<strong>4)\nWhat did the training at the preparatory school  give you? What did\nyou especially like (or you remember) in your studies at preparatory\nschool?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\nStudying\nat preparatory school taught me to be patient, because, without\nknowing the language at all, we learned new sounds and words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\nI\nespecially liked our teachers. They loved us as if we were relatives,\nwe could always call our teachers and ask for help. I think that if\nthey did not treat us so kindly, I would\u2019ve left Russia for my\nhomeland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\n<strong>5)\nWhat would you advise your compatriots if they decide to study at KFU\npreparatory school?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\nThe\nmain thing for all students is to endure and not drop out of school,\nnot to be afraid to speak Russian with everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\n<strong>6)\nWhat are your impressions of Kazan? What did you especially like?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\nI\nliked the buildings, the architecture, but most of all the people.\nThe fact that they smiled at me was always pleasant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\n<strong>7)\nWhat do you consider your main achievement in studies and work?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\nMy\nmain achievement is that I learned to speak Russian fluently and\nalmost without mistakes. This allowed me to enter the Institute of\nmedicine at RUDN University on a State scholarship.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":508,"template":"","class_list":["post-507","stories","type-stories","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/prepschool.kpfu.ru\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/stories\/507","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/prepschool.kpfu.ru\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/stories"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/prepschool.kpfu.ru\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/stories"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prepschool.kpfu.ru\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/508"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/prepschool.kpfu.ru\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=507"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
