Good university and excellent teaching staff.
Tips: Students should know before joining the university that they need to qualify for the NEET exam. Without that, please don't join. Try to contact the university directly, it may reduce stress. Buy good thick clothes. It gets could there. If you are vegetarian, try to get enough spices in your bags, as you won't unnecessarily find the same foods you are used to eating at home. If you are able to, bring a pressure cooker with you so you can prepare your own food to the flavour you like. Orenburg is a safe place for students. It is also a good place for girls. People here are generally friendly and helpful. I had a good experience. I have been staying here for six years yet I have not faced any problems.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Once I ate Russian chicken, they didn't boil it completely. They just half-boil it, and they don't put any masala on it, either. They just barbecue it and serve it, which isn't nice at all. There's no pani puri here, or anything like that you get in India.

The college is fine, and it requires students to work hard.
Tips: Students should know about the college/university, faculty, study place, hostel, campus, living conditions, weather, cost of living, temperature, room conditions and materials to carry with themselves. They should be aware about what all to carry while coming here for the first time, like warm clothes and shoes, etc.
Likes (Safety): Safety is so good. I have not faced any problem till now. Not just me, no one has faced any problem until now. I am so happy about it. Safety is totally assured. That is my guarantee. Russians are far better than Indians. They don't interfere. They don't create problems.
Dislikes (Indian Food): No proper food options. I don't see any Indian food here. I can't live without Indian food. I can find only pizzas, burgers and KFC. How many times could we eat the same thing? I am fed up of eating outside and that too the same thing again and again. Recently, I have started to prepare my own food.

Best in safety and good quality of academics.
Tips: The culture here is quite modern, but we easily adapted. Many consultants are available in India as well; RMEA is managing here, and another dominant one is Rus Education. There is no discrimination, and it's good for studying. Food is not good in the whole of Russia; self-cooking is the best option. I am very satisfied with the studies and the city. Our city is not big, but we can get all things easily here. Many students fail, but at the end, the FMGE results are good.
Likes (Safety): The whole of Russia is very safe for students, and the people are also good. There are good laws, and that's why all things are under control. We are happy to live here, and overall, things are good. Our city, Orenburg, is very strict in studies.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): I don't know about all placements, as many of us come through agency consultancies. Jobs are also available here, but the schedule is tight, so we don't have time to do them.

Student life is good but you have to study hard.
Tips: Students should know about the campus, university, hostel, food facility, rooms, and the distance between the hostel and university. They also need to know about the climatic conditions and, most importantly, the banks where they can exchange currency from rupees to rubles. I stayed in Orenburg for 5.8 years, and the food options were very limited. There were only a few places to eat, and the food was not good. I missed the variety of food options that we have in India. I worked part-time at KFC and earned more than 50,000 rubles. It was a nice experience, and the money helped me a lot. I used the money to book a flight back to India. There are other places to work as well, such as Burger King, Dodo Pizza, and others.

It is a good university with part-time opportunities.
Tips: Before I went to Russia, I contacted some seniors who guided me very well. One thing they told me was that the weather is very cold, so I should pack warm clothes. Another thing they told me was that I should bring snacks and Indian spices because I would be cooking my own food. The internships are not very good. Sometimes we are asked to clean floors, and other times there is no work at all. I suggest that you take your internships in India. Part-time work is allowed at our university. In fact, it's allowed all over Russia. You can work in restaurants and as a delivery agent. There are no restrictions on this type of work, and it can be very beneficial.

The university provides a few on-campus seminars for students which are really helpful.
Tips: I checked my university ranking, and it was in second place according to Forbes. Students need to know about the college ranking. They should also know about the climate, food, and accommodation facilities that the college provides. There aren't many options for post-study jobs. The language barrier makes it difficult to work as a doctor, but it is possible to work in other sectors. But part-time jobs are easy to find. There are a lot of opportunities in Orenburg, where I live. We can work at Burger King, KFC, Dodo Pizza, or as a delivery driver at other restaurants. Plus, the hourly pay is very good. Overall, I am quite satisfied with my experiences here in Orenburg.
