Native speakers are regularly in residence.
Majors, as well as those with a peripheral interest in Russian, are encouraged to live in the Russian House for at least one year. As a Russian House resident you will have the opportunity to join a community with related interests and to participate in a number of cultural and language-related activities. Here is a taste of the things we do outside of the classroom in an informal and fun atmosphere, to learn more about Russia and its culture. We celebrate the beginning of the first semester and the end of the second with a barbecue on the beautiful lawn in front of Russian House, located at the corner of South Professor and Forest Streets. The Russian Department has an extensive video collection, housed in Mudd Library and the International Learning Center.
