What advice would you give future students heading to Baku?

My advice for future students is, Baku not progressed much like any Europe city right now, but progressing day by day. Old aged people don't know English mostly. If you know Russian this can work with them. Our people friendly mostly. You can come to Baku for learning new cultures. But if you coming for progress in education, your aim could fail.
