"St. Petersburg is an ASTONISHING city! The architecture, the monuments, the ballet, and museums were all terrific.  It was the richest cultural experience I've ever had.”

-Troy, a Duke graduate student

"The teachers I had were excellent, but it's personal things you remember.  I met a Russian girl on a bus one day.  We struck up a conversation, and later she and I went to the circus together.  Another person in the program had Russian friends in St. Petersburg, and they invited us to their home for dinner and, later, a birthday party.  Those are small things, but it's that kind of contact that shows you what life is like somewhere else."

-Stacy, Duke undergraduate student
