Why a Lebanese student decided to move to Russia (VIDEO)
“At first, I was shocked,” says Ali, a graduate of Moscow's RUDN University.
Ali Hodroj came from Lebanon to Russia when he was 17 years old to enroll in the Peoples' Friendship University of Russia (RUDN). His first impressions were rather negative, as he wasn't used to independent living without his parents. And here, he faced a big country, a dormitory and a completely foreign language. A few years have passed since then and, now, Ali says he's going to stay in Russia forever!
