Let's take an example from Wang Ye's own experience.
When he first arrived in Moscow to enroll, a simple admission procedure took him several days to complete.
The accommodation procedure had to be processed at a specified window, and registration for the preparatory course was handled in a different place.
Even when it came to paying fees, tuition and accommodation fees couldn't be paid all at once, but had to be split into two separate payments!
And you also had to go to the bank designated by the school to handle it yourself…
The most outrageous thing was that even getting an internet cable installed in your dorm was a great hassle.
First, you had to find the network administrator to write an application and wait for their approval.
After approval, you still had to wait for a day when the network administrator was in a good mood, as they would only come to install and activate the internet cable when they felt like it.
