NEOMA, France
Bachelor Program
February- June
2017 - 2018 Academic year
I've greatly enjoyed my experience thus far at IBS RANEPA. I was admittedly a bit nervous to attend school in such a faraway and unknown country but I was quickly reassured, indeed I was very well received by the student Dariya Leonova and the administration (Zemfira Galimullina) was very responsive and helpful.
I quickly adapted to life in Moscow, I really love this city, the atmosphere is fascinating and there are many activities to do, it’s a city constantly on the move and constantly looking forward.
The campus of IBS RANEPA is beautiful and well located (there are supermarkets around, the metro is not far, there is a pharmacy on campus, sport complex etc...) Moreover, Russia is really a beautiful country with wonderful places and landscapes full of history (Saint-Petersbourg is a must-see for its architecture and palaces !) and a beautiful language. In France we don’t really know this country, and I discovered a new culture and people which the stereotypes we have about its are false. I chose Russia to have an exotic experience and I am absolutely not disappointed.
On the IBS RANEPA plan, I am rather satisfied, I would like to mention my language classes indeed I appreciated the fact that we were in small classes, it allows to progress well.
Moreover, I really thank my language teachers, especially in English (Xenia Mitkova) for her kindness and her professionalism it was a real pleasure to go to her class, and in German (Elina Rozhdestvenskaya) and Russian (Galina Filatiova) for the quality of their courses and their attention.
And I would like to mention too my international logistics teacher (Emil Martisoryan), where I enjoyed his class because he brings his professional experience.
Also I would like to thank my school NEOMA BUSINESS for giving me the opportunity to go here.
This international experience has brought me a lot, I met friends of different nationalities and I plan to continue to learn Russian and maybe have a job later related to this country.
Спасибо for this exchange, I will come back!
