Climate in Russia

They say that the climate in Russia is horribly cold. Can I stand it?

In winter, from December to February, temperatures can be as low as – 30° C. You should have “warm” clothes for this season. Thousands of students from Africa and Asia are studying in Russia and feel comfortable in winter. Be prepared that in summer it can be rather hot – up to over 30° C in July!

Appliances and Electricity requirement in Russia

What about appliances? What is the electricity requirement in Russia?

Russia operates on 220 volts 50hz. Videos operate on PAL-SECAM system. It is NOT recommended that you bring appliances with you. They can be purchased there later if you need them. Otherwise, DO bring along a universal adapter.

Technology

Can I use the Internet or a hand phone while in Russia?

Yes, you can. If you have a notebook or hand phone you can take it with you. If not, you can buy them in Russia. Prices for these products and many other items may be lower there than in Malaysia.

There are also numerous cyber-cafés in the cities where you can e-mail or chat online with your friends and family.

Housing in or near the campus

Are student housing in or near the campus? If not, how do I travel to classes?

For some institutions, the hostel is walking distance to the campus, but for others, some travelling is required. The normal mode of transportation for students is by bus and subway (underground trains). Russia has an efficient and extensive public transportation system. Buses and underground trains are reasonably priced and easily accessible.

If you need to take a taxi, take only official cabs, as opposed to a “private or gypsy taxi” with a self-employed driver. Negotiate fare in advance as meters are rarely used. Never enter a taxi with another person, who is not known to you, already in it.

Foodstuffs and Toiletries

What about foodstuffs and toiletries? Should I bring them with me?

You may be better off taking a few extra dollars with you as you can buy practically every kind of food and toiletry in Russia. It is recommended, however, that you bring something just for the first few days.
