Freshmen arrivals: welcoming our first international students for this academic year

In October 2022, the employees of RACUS organization have already met more than 2,000 foreign students from 50 countries who have arrived to study at Russian state universities in 10 cities. And arrivals are continuing.

It is always very exciting to meet new international students at crowded and busy airports in Russia. Each incoming student has their own history, their universe, their culture. Now each of them has a difficult and interesting way ahead: adaptation in a new country away from home. What do they feel? What are they hoping for? New country, new friends, new language. Every time we stand at the airport with the "RACUS: Study in Russia" sign, we experience all this impatient joy and excitement of our students, together we take a step into a new life.

“Salut!” – suddenly there is a ringing voice from the crowd. A charming young man from Morocco with a snow-white smile and sky-high suitcases, walks confidently towards us. His future classmates from the same country follow him. They have already become friends during the flight. We patiently count everyone on the list, ask how the flight went, whether they are hungry and recommend putting on warm clothes. In October-November Russia usually meets the newcomers with multiple colors of golden autumn, warm rains and bright sun. We always hope that the weather on the day of arrival will be as friendly as we are: the first impressions of the country and its people are so important! We get acquainted, laugh together and head further to their final destination! Are you ready?
