– I came to Russia from Egypt because I wanted to learn another language that would benefit me in my career as a journalist. I choose Belgorod State University for my studies. Foreign students from more than 90 countries study here. First I applied for the preparatory faculty, which taught me the basics of the Russian language. The training was very difficult. But I really liked the fact that the University offered us tours in the city and its museums. It was a great experience, we explored the city, learned more about Russian culture and history. I was amazed by the city, its blooming flower & the beautiful trees. Belgorod is a very green city. But I missed home, my family, and my brother. I was lucky because I met new friends also, I learn to manage my time, to cook, to do my laundry and to buy groceries.

Then I started my first year in the faculty of journalism of Belgorod State University. And during my attending to the lectures I realized that I did not understand much, it was a tragedy for me. But After each lecture I approached the teachers, asked them, and explained my situation that I was still learning Russian and it was difficult for me to understand the meaning of what I heard. Many of the teachers were happy to help and support me.

Being far from home, I learned to appreciate the work of my parents more, to accept different opinions and listen to them, I became more open, take part in different activities of the University, discover a new culture and even learned how to cook new delicious dishes. In short, independent life and education in Russia taught me a lot and gave me a very important experience. Thank you, NIU "BSU", thank you, Belgorod!
