For me SUSU is an opportunity to acquire skills and knowledge in any area I want, SUSU is the great way to broaden your horizons, and also is just cool opportunity for your future career. It is one of the best universities in Chelyabinsk.
Talking about AISA, it could be easily called your second home, where you can find a lot of friends from different countries, as well as it is the place where you can develop yourself in non-studying activities. AISA is about communication, cultural exchange, different languages and, for sure, it is about connections (friends, acquaintances, etc.) forever.

My SUSU Experience: A Journey of Friendship and Learning
I have always dreamed of studying abroad and meeting people from different cultures and backgrounds. That’s why I chose to pursue my education at South Ural State University (SUSU) in Chelyabinsk, Russia. SUSU is not just a place of academic excellence, but also a home away from home for me and many other international students. SUSU has a welcoming and supportive environment for students from all over the world. The faculty and staff are friendly and helpful, always ready to guide us and answer our questions.
But what makes SUSU truly special for me is the Association of International Students and Alumni (AISA), a student organization that aims to help international students adapt to life in Russia and foster intercultural exchange and cooperation. AISA has been a game-changer for me, as it has given me the opportunity to make friends from different countries, learn from their perspectives, and share my own ideas and experiences.
AISA has made me feel more connected and integrated with the local community, and more appreciative of the diversity and richness of the world.
I am grateful to SUSU and AISA for making my study abroad journey a memorable and meaningful one. I have learned a lot, not only academically, but also personally and socially.
