The best thing about this school, is since the school is still relatively young- you can personally make an impact at the school- even directly into University level. The college was developed in the early 1970's with 35 men, and now we have 19 campus in I think 10 countries, and over 19000 students. The facilities are definitely not worth the 6200 dollars in tuition, but they make it up with great professors, and lenient rules. I can use my Touro ID and study all night at the Osteopathic Medical School. Mind you, I am only a sophomore (and a Pre Med Student) Also the Advisory, Registrar, and Bursars offices are not helpful. In fact, they can be damned horrible. Have Patience, little grasshopper. Touro is a commuter school, so hanging out depends on the campus which you take your classes. Since Touro is mainly a "Urban" school- New York City is far far far less of a "college town" you will ever know.

I’m in my senior (4th ) year of my bachelor degree program at Moscow University TOURO and I feel pretty confident graduating this year. I’ve never regretted attending here and it was one of the best experiences for me. I even feel a little bit sad leaving interesting classes and professors, who became my family. I think Moscow University TOURO is the best business education that is offered in Moscow. It’s one of a kind here for undergraduate education. I absolutely love the USA system of education here: the opportunity to choose the subjects myself, the interesting American textbooks from very good publishers and ,of course, easy going professors, who make you feel like you mean something in this world and make you believe in yourself. All the classes for American diplomas are taught in English. This allows students to practice English—and especially business English—communication skills. For those, who don’t know English and still want to study business, there is an opportunity to earn a Russian Accredited Diploma, studying under the same western professors, after going to the ESL program to improve their English skills. Moscow University Touro is located in the center of Moscow, in close proximity to metro station Kurskaya. It is situated very close to Pokrovka Street and Chistie prudi, which allows students to go to many nearby coffeehouses, restaurants and cafes. I recommend that everybody who wants to get a high quality education, with dual accredited diplomas (Russian and American); business experience and perfect English skills go to Moscow University TOURO.

I’ve been studying in Moscow University Touro for four years and I’m surprised that there are a lot of bad reviews. I’ll finish Touro this summer, 2011. As a graduate I want to thank Touro because it gave me great experience in business, good management and special English skills. I don’t see any preferences for individuals - everybody is equaled. Professors don’t give good grades for nothing. Grade system is pretty fair. Comparing to another Russian universities, Touro doesn’t have a bribery practice at all. Administration is pretty supportive for students. Touro has a unique educational system which is not typical for Russian universities. Because of that Touro is interesting place for worldwide foreign companies (Nestle, Kelly Servises, KPMG, PriceWaterHouseCoopers) which very often held Career days, offering huge opportunities to graduates and students. Professors are really qualified people. Everybody knows well their own subject and I can say that I’m finishing this university with clear knowledge. Thanks to teachers attitude towards students, the atmosphere is friendly and without pressure. Because Touro is small University, everybody knows each other. Also Moscow University Touro offers MBA program. It continues for 1-1.5 years I have only positive emotions about Moscow Touro University and I wish to everyone to study in such great university like Touro. =)

I am a Russian student at Moscow University Touro.Touro is an excellent place in terms of everything, from facility to lecturers from social life to student’s support in terms of job hunting and careers advice available. The only disadvantage is a small student body. At university great professors, they always help, if you don’t understand. I’m very glad to be studying in this University, because the teachers and students are nice, polite and passionate. This University has interesting students from different countries, who have various interests and possibilities. It is real great because in addition to a friendly atmosphere between students and professors you can easily get useful and interesting knowledge, that can help you in making your dreams come true. It’s wonderful that there is such a fantastic University as Touro in Moscow!
