Our college is decent and teachers are so kind.

Tips: The university is located in a nice town and is the best place to study if you have plans to get a license from another country. I found my experience very relaxed. Ulyanovsk State is an easygoing college. The campus is scattered, however, and the public transport here is not great. If you're vegetarian and coming from India, you might have trouble finding suitable food options here in Russia. Most of the population doesn't eat vegetarian, so the market mainly sell fish, meant, and pork. Burger King and KFC are available, but they don't have many vegetarian options. You might have to do some shopping to find the vegetarian food you need. Then, you can cook yourself. However, if you want a cheap option and want to be somewhere lively, this is the place for you.

Likes (Part time work): There's a good scope of part-time jobs here in Ulyanovsk. Students are given a permit through the university in which they can work off campus. Most of the students prefer doing jobs at car factories during their summer break. Some work at a read factor, so basically Ulyanovsk is an industrial town with many industries you can work in. There are also delivery services and taxi services you can work with, people earn a handsome amount while working off campus, and one of my friends works with a food delivery partner. He easily makes 90k rubles a month, which is more than enough for your food, rent, and groceries. You can always look up jobs at avito.ru as well, the market is always open.

Ulyanovsk State University has highly qualified and friendly faculty.

Tips: Russia has a very cold and hilly climate, which I love. It also has a very different culture than my home country. If you do well in your studies and get good marks, you can get a scholarship. The university is easy to access because it provides a student ID that allows access to the campus. The teaching methodology is convenient because English is used for instruction, and the professors are very approachable. The anatomy department has a lot of interesting biological specimens. There are no Indian restaurants here, only Russian restaurants. You can cook your own food, but you will need to bring your own Indian spices. Russian food is very different from Indian food, so I suggest you cook your own meals. The university campus is very eco-friendly, and I am very grateful to have been able to study MBBS here.

Ulyanovsk State University has a wide campus with many activities happening simultaneously.

Tips: There are usually some difficulties in the first few months after coming from India. However, the people here are very nice and helpful, and they care about us because they know that we are from another country. The faculty are highly talented and expert in their field so don't hesitate to reach out to them in case of any queries. In Ulyanovsk, you can find any bus, tram, or shuttle you need. The transportation is very reliable and affordable, and I never experienced any delays. There are no Indian restaurants in Ulyanovsk. For vegetarians like me, it is very difficult to survive because there are only two things we can eat outside: shwarma and pizza, and there is only one variety of pizzas available. I am highly satisfied with the course and the university.

Ulyanovsk State University is good for balancing between studies and extracurriculars.

Tips: Students should know that studying at this university is not easy, but it is not that difficult either. However, the winters are very cold, with temperatures reaching -30 degrees Celsius. So, be prepared for that and bring a good quality jacket. Public transportation is very slow and unreliable. Sometimes I have to wait 30 minutes to an hour for a bus or train. I really need a car, but the rules are very strict, and taxis are too expensive. For a 3-kilometer ride, the fare is more than 250 rubles, and in the morning it can be more than 300 rubles.

Likes (Part time work): It's a good opportunity for students to get a 2-3 month job and earn 70k+. You do need to learn the local language for everyday jobs, but it's worth it. Last year I earned 75k from a 2-month job.

The university is average and the faculty does not seem interested in teaching.

Tips: Students should know that they need to do more self-study, spend more time preparing for class, and learn the local language. Also, there are no scholarship options for foreign students, only for locals. The hospital's knowledge is good, and the staff is good at coping with our language barrier. The patients are good as well. However, there aren't many interesting cases in our city. I like the hospital's ambience, but they don't teach much about clinical knowledge.

Dislikes (Quality of faculty): The faculty are unbothered and do not care about us. They are also careless at times. Even if we read the material, they will not listen to us. They use their phones during class and do not explain anything properly. They do not impart any knowledge and show favouritism to certain students.

Ulyanovsk State University has a vibrant and friendly campus.

Tips: Before joining this college, students should know that they need to stay flexible and adapt to new environments, people, and situations. They should also respect diversity and embrace cultural differences. Students should also check the criteria, deadlines, and application requirements to ensure their eligibility. The allowance varies depending on scholarships. Students should attend orientation sessions to familiarize themselves with campus resources. They should also network with peers, professors, and alumni. Students should also manage their time effectively to balance academics, extracurricular activities, and personal life. Students should also be open-minded, respectful, and patient when adapting to a new culture. Finally, students should not hesitate to ask for assistance from professors, advisors, or counseling services.

Dislikes (Part time work): I feel a sense of belonging in the campus community, which is diverse and inclusive. There are a variety of extracurricular activities, clubs, and organizations to choose from. Support services, including counselling, academic advising, and career guidance, are easily accessible. The campus has high-quality facilities, libraries, and technology resources. Opportunities for student engagement, including leadership, volunteer, and socialization activities, are readily available. The campus is safe and accessible, with a pleasant surrounding environment. Recreational activities, including fitness centres, sports facilities, and cultural events, are available.
