<p>I know this is a longshot (seeing as the CC forums don't have <em>that</em> many people) but has anyone here either studied Russian or know someone who is studying Russian at UCLA?</p>
<p>If so, what can you tel me about their program? I'm a native speaker by the way...</p>
<p>funny you should post this- my english teacher has her doctorate in russian literature- she went to UCLA and raves about it. really, she loved it. (im going there also, thats why im on this board)</p>
<p>I know students who are studying Russian. Most of the people I met taking Russian classes or minoring in Russian studies like the Russian department at UCLA; others don't. UCLA offers special classes for native speakers. I think (if I recall correctly...), it is a series of three classes, but I am not really sure. I myself have not taken any Russian classes. One of my non-speaking friends is absolutely in love with her Russian lit. class. Also, UCLA has a Russian Club, which puts on parties, a poetry night, an event for Maslenista, a trip to Big Bear, and a restaurant night.</p>
