The word “challenging” is not even enough to describe it, but yes, it is 100% very challenging, I used to cry almost every day when I just entered the university because I felt like I didn’t understand anything, and what I had been learning in extra courses was not enough. Partly that's due to professors talking in much more formal way. To be honest, HSE should get some awards for providing good facilities and technology, because they are very comfortable and make my life much easier. However, I do think they need to change the education system a little bit, because I just don’t feel that international students in bachelor’s degree are improving their scores here. There are lots of international students that get kicked out or decided to get out from HSE because they are tired of the system.
