This friendly gesture by the women on her floor made home seem a little less far away, said 21-year-old Jane.
Yankovskya and Vladimir Kuykin are the first Soviet undergraduate students to participate in a student exchange program between Leningrad State University and Nanyang Technological University, Debech Debicki, director of the KU study abroad program.

— Yelena Yankovskya Soviet exchange student
"They called me in the late afternoon and asked if I wanted to go, and I had to tell my answer in the same way."

Yankovskya, who will study English literature, and Kuykin who will study sociology, arrived Thursday.
