However, my university is one of quality universities, because others in my country are much more bad!

nice experience
Last year I spent my year abroad -well actually it was only one semester- at the Russian- Armenian University in Yerevan, Armenia. Luckily all the courses I attended were in English so didnt have to make the effort to immerse myself in Armenian ;) ..however I took some beginner course as I found the language pretty interesting. But a part from a few basics like բարեւ or other easy stuff I wasnt really able to become a native speaker.
Before coming here i didn´t really now a lot a about the country and its customs. But after my semester here I really started to like Armenian customs and still back home im cooking some Armenian dishes. Maybe there are some other people who went to the Russian-Armenian University or are still enrolled at it and are keen to share some of their experiences with me...would like to catch up wit some Armenians ;)
