Sfedu Voices Podcast: A Student from Peru Shares Her Experience at Southern Federal University! In this inspiring episode of Sfedu Voices, we sit down with Elena Pari, a master's student from Peru, who is studying International Communication, Languages, Cultures and Diplomacy at Southern Federal University (SFedU). Ever wondered what it's like to move across the world to study in Russia? Elena shares her incredible journey—from choosing Russia for its strong academic tradition and the challenge of learning Russian, to navigating the application process, visa, and her long 50-hour trip from Lima to Rostov-on-Don. In this conversation, we discuss: Why she chose SFedU and Russia over other countries. The application process and portfolio contest. The visa process from Peru and the epic journey to Rostov. Her first impressions of Rostov and the university campus. Facing culture shock & bureaucracy as a new international student. Key differences in student-teacher relationships between Peru and Russia. Making friends and building a community in a new country. Practical advice on finances, registration, and adapting to daily life.
