   This page is intended to help prospective graduate students from Russia 
( hopefully it will be also useful for people from other countries) 
to choose the right university for graduate study. At the time when we
(and Anya and Igor) came to the United States very little information 
was available. We (at least that applies to my family) 
chose the places to go to almost at random without any understanding of 
what we wanted and what we would get. Presumably current situation 
is better and various information on this matter 
is available in Russia. We still think
 that having one more source doesn't hurt and that this site will provide
more personal accounts of various universities, departments and the 
surrounding area. It is not intended as a substitute for various official
and unofficial guides provided by universities. These guides are often
very useful and much more informative than they seem to be. We want rather
to provide more personal prospective and some information which is important
for Russian students and is not adequately presented in those guides.
