I also discovered the SRAS program over the Net in my search for possible
summer Russian programs. From short conversations with the director, and
from their materials, they seem like an outstanding program.

However, it may be cheaper to apply directly to a Russian university or
language institute than to go through SRAS, which adds a surcharge and
seems be more expensive overall. For instance, I have found it to be much
cheaper for me to apply directly to Moscow State University (MGU) for their
8-week summer Russian program (July/August 2000), then to go through the
SRAS agency.

Of course, if on wanted to attend a university outside a major Russian city
or one which had little experience dealing with "foreign applicants," it
might be easier to go through SRAS.

Feel free to email me directly for further information.
