Russian House/Русский дом

Будьте как дома в Русском доме!  

Interested in Russian?  Want to live in a supportive and fun environment with other students who share that interest?  Intrigued by the idea of becoming part of an internationally-oriented community on campus? Русский дом, the new Russian House on campus, may be for you!  

In Русский дом, students:

• live with other students of Russian in the International Learning Community in Adams Hall, a dormitory on the shores of Lake Mendota located only 5 minutes from Van Hise Hall;
• enjoy lots of opportunities to practice using Russian outside of class;
• participate in social activities: cook Russian meals, watch Russian movies, read Russian magazines, play Russian games;
• enroll in a 1-credit course on Russian culture taught by a faculty member in the Department of Slavic Languages and Literature .  In Fall 2011 Professor Karen Evans-Romaine taught a course on Russian music.  In Spring 2012, Professor Evans-Romaine is teaching a course on Russian "image-makers."
• participate in International Learning Community events such as roundtable dinners and international programs;
• benefit from the support of a community of like-minded students who share their interest in Russian language and culture.
