π¨π³ As a part of our #successstory series, we spoke with Miao Kairan β a 1st-year student at the School of International Law from China. Kairan has lived in Russia for most of her life and now helps international students, including those from China, adjust to their new environment. π One of the main factors that influenced her choice of MGIMO was the university's strong language training and its reputation in the humanities: I have always believed that MGIMO is the best choice for those studying humanities. What attracted me was the fact that foreign languages are given top priority here. In today's world, that is a visionary approach, and I have not regretted my decision. β What surprised you most about the university? Probably the most unexpected thing was the community. People from different countries study here, with experience living in various cultures. As an international student myself, I felt very much at ease. At MGIMO, there are no language barriers β and even when they do arise, everything is easily resolved. The faculty are always supportive and ready to help with any issue. π Kairan is a student who, already in her 1st year, has come to appreciate not only the academic opportunities at the university but also the prospects for building professional connections. In the field of international relations, MGIMO is undoubtedly a leading university. International forums are held here frequently, and even during the first years, it is absolutely possible to make valuable connections. π What advice would you give to students from other countries who are planning to apply to MGIMO? Don't be afraid of challenges. If you are ready to study and stay open to the world β MGIMO will give you far more than just a degree. Here you will find friends, support, and opportunities you never even imagined before applying. β€οΈ We thank Kairan for the insightful conversation and hope that her experience will help you see that MGIMO is more than just a university. It is a space where you can feel at home, no matter who you are or where you come from. Learn more about MGIMO on our website. π MGIMO International (ENG) / ΠΠΠΠΠ Π΄Π»Ρ ΠΈΠ½ΠΎΡΡΡΠ°Π½ΡΠ΅Π² (RUS)
