"Nowadays, Soviet students seem

that differences in American and

by the emphasis on money among
American students. "Our students are

At Kazan, the state pays
educational expenses and also
provides a stipend to students. "It
seems like everybody at USC works,
but many of us do not," she added.
Rudenko says simply, "Students at
USC are more rich."
Soviet students, like Americans,
prize their leisure time, and spend it
on similar activities. At home,
Rudenko likes to lift weights and to
watch boxing or hockey on television.
He enjoys the outdoors and to
"ramble arond the city with my girl."
Here, he enjoys Five Points,
even without his girl. He likes American
rock music, but rock'n'roll, he
said, "is dead."
Diyachenko says she "likes
being with my friends, reading and
writing stories. I like to go to movies,
which cost less at home than
here. I do not like discos, but that is
