Comments:
I really enjoyed my stay in Akademgorodok. It is a lovely place to be.
Information from AMBergh: 4/5
Meeting at the airport, bus or railway station: 4/5
Accommodation: 3/5
When I arrived, I chose on the spot to switch from a family housing to an apartment. Living conditions were ok, better than those offered by host family. However, in June and July, there are maintenance on hot water pipes in the city, so you are good for cold showers.
Favourite night club/restaurant/pub:
All coffee houses, restaurants are on marskoi prospekt in Akademgorodok.
What would you like to improve?
I think you should give the cell phone number instead of the office phone number, since students arrive on Sunday for most of them and office's closed. I was lucky that my host family had it, so I could make sure I would be relocated on Monday. However, on Sunday, I had to relocate myself in the nearby hotel by myself, once the family ordered a taxi for me. Perhaps, the NSU should think ahead about having a set of avalaible/free rooms on the campus, in case student desired to be relocated on the spot, that would spare them hotel fees.
How did you find out about AMBergh?
Thanks to an advertisement in my university.
