The MGU guest hostel is located in the main building (zone E, 6/7th floor). There is a entrance right from 'uliza Lebedeva'. Buses stop in front the main entrance, however. Not far from MGU (3 bus stops, on Lomonossovski prospekt) is the Hotel "Universitetskaya", that offers accommodation in comfort rooms at attractive prices.

From the airport: take a taxi outside the airport (only with official signs) and indicate that you would like to go to 'Moscow State University, MGU'. Prices for a single ride from the airport is anywhere between 50 and 80 USD depending on the day of the week and the type of car (Sundays and late hours are more expensive). The ride should last about 40 min, however, during rush hour, it could take you as much as 2 hours to get to the university. There is also a bus connecting Sheremetjevo airport to the metro (station: 'retshnoi vokzal'). From there you can take the metro (red line) to 'universitet'. Across the street called 'Lomonosovsky Prospekt' is a bus stop, and buses Nr 1, 113 (3 stops) and Nr. 119 and 661 (2 stops) will take you directly to the entrance of the main building. Travelling from Sheremetevo airport to MGU with public transportation will take you about 1.5 hours and is quite inconvenient, especially if you have lots of luggage. From the newer Domodedovo Airport, the transfer is somewhat shorter (45 min) but not convenient by public transportation either.
We recommend you to book a transfer from the airport to MGU when you arrive. Our representative and driver will await you at the airport right after you passed the customs and drive you to the unversity or your host family. Especially if you arrive late or on Sundays, you will have difficulties to get into the MGU campus alone.
