Hi, I will be studying Russian at the Special Department of Philology of the St. Petersburg State University. I have to decide whether to stay with a host family or live in the student dormitory. Does anyone want to share his experience of being a language student in St. Pete? All comments are welcome.

If you go for the first time or don't speak Russian all that well yet go with the family! It brings so much more because you always have to talk to them in Russian ... dormitory I can't share my experience, if you're with a Russian that's nice but if it's other foreigners you'll probably end up speaking English or so. I stayed half year with a family and it was a great time! Very Happy
