The Russian national education system is generally regarded to be of a high standard. It is founded upon a solid theoretical base. Leading Russian Universities are primarily scientific research centres. Many of the greatest achievements of the 20th century science took place in Russia.

The Russian Educational System has two types of further education institutions: universities, like Lomonosov Moscow State University, which offer a variety of subjects, and institutions of a smaller size, which concentrate on specific fields. Many new institutions and colleges have appeared in recent years. The level of achievement in these institutions is as high as those in traditional universities, but tuition fees are much lower. There are nearly 400 non–state owned institutions of higher education in Russia and the total number of students is nearly 270 thousand.

Russian graduates are considered to be among the top competitors for jobs worldwide. A Classical Russian University Education is considered by many to be an excellent starting point for any career. Bill Gates, the computer king, who has made a fortune of 90 billion dollars has 20 former graduates of Novosibirsk University. According to Bill Gates his staff made him one of the richest people in the world.
Tuition fees in Russia are considered to be much lower than anywhere else in the world. Additional costs such as accommodation, textbooks, use of libraries etc., are also low. Take the UK, for example. Accommodation in London will cost a student 360$ a week. In Moscow a student may rent a two-room apartment for 300$ a month, or pay just the same amount for bed–and breakfast accommodation. In London a student has to spend 1000$ a month for textbooks and supplementary literature compared to 100$ in Moscow. The fees in Oxford Westminster College, for example, are usually 25000–30000$ a year and in Plekhanov Academy of Economics in Moscow are only 5000$ per year.

Russian and American systems of higher education have many differences in educational process organization and in the form of submissions. In Russia it is possible to study at the university for free, if you pass through the competition, and in the US the education is paid. Russia: to enter a university, you should pass the Unified State Examination and score the required number of points or pass entrance exams. There are 2 semesters that make an academic year. At the end of every semester is the examination session, that is, the cycle of examinations and tests and term paper defense.

In addition to school assessments, extra-curricular work and personal qualities are taken into account. Assessment takes place at examinations; within the academic semester much attention is paid to regular knowledge tests.

If I had a choice, I would want to study abroad. 
Studying abroad brings a number of advantages. The most obvious advantage is that it could possibly broaden our mind. By studying overseas, students could have many chances to interact with many people from different backgrounds and culture, experience the completely contrasting method of studying and working from Westerners. This would in turn enhances not only their theoretical knowledge but also their practical knowledge, playing a prominent role in their future careers. Furthermore, studying overseas encourages people to perfect themselves. Instead of enjoying the comfort of living in their house, many courageous students decide to study in different foreign countries where they have to organize their lives independently, for instance, cooking on their own or working hard for single pennies. Accordingly, students will be equipped with many valuable qualities such as independence, initiative and especially adaptation, which would perfectly vital for overcoming numerous challenges in their lives.
