As a cost saving measure, major Russian cities have no hot water during three weeks each summer. Since dates for this are not announced in advanced, the lack of hot water may occur during part of the summer school in St. Petersburg. Students can heat water in their kitchenettes, go to nearby bath houses or use the Finnish sauna at the University campus. The stove in the kitchenette at the residence can be used to boil hot water for shaving or bathing if desired. There are no laundry facilities in the dorm.
Most students wash clothes by hand.
