[@leocalinawan8429]

So does a student visa apply for anyone? I was informed that a tourist visa is only valid for a month and Russia is such a big place that there is not enough time for an exploration travel. I was planning on a land trip through Siberia until the far eastern region. I really want to spend some time on this travel but 1 month is too short for taking on great distances by land, so perhaps a student visa could make me stay a bit longer...

Hello. It's great to meet these minority students. I have always been interested in studying in Russia. Why? From reading about Trotsky's not unpleasant experiences in Siberia as a political exile helped by respectful locals to the misunderstood monk and royal healer Rasputin to other things, Russia is interesting and admirable in its own way. Also; the language is not so difficult. Teaching in Thailand, the language was difficult because it is tone-sensitive. No such difficulties with Russian; which I've been studying daily in a KZbin class.

The likelihood that you'd have a quality educational experience in West Virginia is slim. As in Russia, the US is a big country with vastly different regions and educational possibilities. West Virginia would be toward the bottom of the list of places where someone would study. Too many international students get stuck in remote and less than top-flight schools in the US.
