Kazan State Medical University is affordable, diverse, and focused on quality education.
Tips: Students should research programs, costs and Russian basics before joining Kazan universities. Transitioning involves adapting to the language, climate and culture. Scholarships like the Russian Government Scholarship cover tuition and allowances. Kazan offers quality education, affordability and cultural diversity. As a foreign student I don't have good exposure to internships. However, we do have clinical classes. Unfortunately, there is a communication gap because the patients speak Russian. If you know Russian you can get good exposure here in Russia.
Likes (Safety): I feel safe as a foreign student at Kazan. It has a multicultural environment and a student friendly atmosphere. However petty theft can occur so I keep my valuables secure. I use licensed taxis like Yandex and avoid unit areas at night. I carry my ID, know the local laws and rely on university resources for support. I stay cautious but confident.

The college provides a great student life for students but the country is quite expensive.
Tips: Before joining this college, students need to prepare for winter by bringing jackets and boots. They also need to bring a white doctor's apron. Since most students cook for themselves, they should bring masala. Students should also bring over-the-counter medicine for common illnesses, as medicine is expensive in this area. There are many teachers for a single subject, and they teach practically. Our university has notes of its own, and they teach in English and Russian. The Russian language teacher takes students to museums, parks, and zoos each week. There are separate buildings for anatomy, biochemistry, and all other faculties. Overall, I am quite satisfied with the course, university and the country.

The university provides a great learning opportunity for students and hosts several events as well.
Tips: The campus is well connected with transportation. We can take a bus, tram, trolley bus or taxi to get to our destination. There is also a metro in the city. It's affordable, as it only costs 43 rubles to get anywhere. I have become more responsible. In the hostel, we are all Indians staying together, so it's not a problem. The faculty is very good and they help us a lot. Each year, we have a 15% increase in the number of students. If you study well, you will be successful. I am totally satisfied with my choice of university and course. Kazan is a fabulous city.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are few options for food outside and the options available are a bit expensive. However, there are online platforms where you can order Indian food. I prefer cooking myself as it is cheaper and allows me to cook according to my taste buds.

A different world with a good student life and with new responsibilities.
Tips: The college is very good. It has very good faculty and a well-balanced curriculum that includes academics, sports, and cultural activities. The only problem is that it takes six years to complete the program. The internships here have very good exposure because the hospital is in the city centre and everyone comes to it. This allows us to see many kinds of patients, which will make us good doctors. However, there is a language barrier, so start learning Russian as soon as possible. The food at this university is very bland, so if you are an Indian student, you should bring your own spices and utensils so that you can cook your own food. Overall, I am quite satisfied with my experiences snd the country.

The university is wonderful and it has the best campus, facilities and faculty.
Tips: Before joining, students should know about hostel life, food, and other expenses. Students should bring their own spices, as spicy food is not widely eaten in Russia. Students can earn money while studying by doing various part-time jobs. The people in Russia are very friendly and helpful.
Likes (Safety): The city is very safe. I could go anywhere at any time, and even the nightlife felt safe. There were police officers everywhere, and they would check our visas and passports if necessary. If we needed help, we could contact them at any time.
Dislikes (Internships): The college is the best. It provides the highest quality education to its students. The college also encourages opportunities for student betterment. The seniors are very helpful and provide us with proper notes. The staff at the college is the best, and the services provided by the college are very good.

The university is good but it is very tough to get a scholarship.
Tips: Before joining this college, students should know that there is a bit of a cultural shift. The rules are a bit stricter than in India. Scholarships are available, and I have received them. To qualify, you need to score above 80% in every subject. If you score above 90% in every subject, you will receive a 15% scholarship. Overall, I am satisfied with the college.
Likes (Public transportation): The public transportation system has lots of options, including metro, tram, bus, electric bus, and cabs. The frequency of the transport is every 10 minutes, and it is comfortable to travel across the city. The only downside is that it is a bit expensive.
Dislikes (Internships): There is less clinical exposure at this university because the hospital is very clean and patients with infectious diseases rarely visit. However, there are a decent number of patients in other departments. Another reason for the low clinical exposure is the language barrier.

A fun and loving experience
Tips: Be prepared for the cold weather. For the FMGE exams start preparing in your 4th year. It takes one extra year in Russia to graduate in MBBS. The expenses each month can be up to 20,000 rubles minimum. Also the recent war has increased the prices of day to day items .
Likes (Student Life): Great environment and facilities. Very safe and friendly. You will have great experiences. Its basically everything that you can expect of a modern city. It has great facilities, good transport system and decent people. The lifestyle is great and comfortable.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): It depends on the person, if you learn the language well and are ready to serve for lower pay grades then its good for permanent immigration. Also the expenses can increase over time and the cold weather can be bothersome sometimes. The faculty during the last year is kind of strict and you will need to focus more .

My experience in Kazan state medical university was good.
Tips: If you are ready to overcome your fear of leaving home for studies then it will be worth it. Also, stay away from fraud consultancies as they would charge you a handsome amount of money and won't help you after. Many students have to face this issue, so be careful.
Likes (Internships): Internship in kazan state medical university is best in Russia as after completing the MBBS course, students always worry about their internships. So, here you would find yourself at ease to complete your internship. And teachers help international students in every way possible.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are no Indian food options over here and mostly non veg food is available everywhere. Those who choose to be vegetarian, have to reconsider their choices because no vegetarian food is available in this country. People generally cook for themselves.

Kazan State Medical University is a good university with an affordable fee and strong curriculum.
Tips: Moving to a new country for college can be difficult for some students. The weather and culture can differ from what they are used to. Also, very few people speak English, so language can be an issue. The winters are freezing. The faculty at this university are great. They are very helpful and teach quite well. There can be a language issue in the beginning, but you can learn Russian as it is necessary for day-to-day life and also helps with various future activities and internships. So, learning Russian is a necessity.
Dislikes (Indian Food): The food options are quite limited, especially for vegetarians. There are very few options for Indian food here, as most of the food is Western vegetarian. If you are a non-vegetarian, there are lots of options, especially chicken. If you can cook your own food, it is quite easy to survive here.

Kazan State Medical University is academically oriented and has excellent curriculum.
Tips: I experienced a slight culture shock when I first arrived at Kazan State Medical University, but I quickly adapted to the city, the culture, and the people. The university excels in knowledge, has good teachers who speak English and provides a healthy environment. Kazan is a beautiful city that offers a good lifestyle. Russia is a safe and developed country. I was admitted to the university through a contractor. The admission criteria were that I had to qualify for Neet UG and have a score of 60 or above in English, Biology, and Chemistry. I am satisfied with the country, university and the course.
Likes (Part time work): I had enough time to do part-time work while I was a student at Kazan State Medical University. The pay was good, and I was able to cover my university fees with my part-time earnings. The average daily payout ranged from 500 to 3000 rubles, depending on the job.
Dislikes (Internships): If you know Russian well, then internships are great for practising medicine. However, if you don't know Russian, it can be difficult to practice. Medical internships are available for fifth- and sixth-year students who know Russian well. Applying for an internship is easy because everything is available online.

Kazan State Medical University is hectic and disciplined schedule.
Tips: The transition after coming here was easy. We felt cold only outside the house, inside the house it's always hot, so there's no problem with such cold conditions. Regarding scholarships, we can get them every year, like 15,10, and 5% of the total year's fees. The faculty are very good at explaining things and are always willing to answer questions. The case discussions are one of the best parts of the classes. The teachers also discuss the patient's complaints and work with the doctor on the patient. We get a lot of hands-on experience, including injecting, patient care, and exposure to the hospital. In addition, some specialists teach specific subjects.
Dislikes (Indian Food): The food is expensive, and there are fewer vegetable options. Also, the Indian restaurants are expensive. However, there are some good vegetarian options, such as "swarma."

The college is strict and it requires hard work and determination to become a doctor.
Tips: The course will be difficult, so be prepared for a hard life. Modules of two or three subjects will be presented every other week, and they are not a joke. The faculty at Kazan State Medical University are excellent teachers who are dedicated to their students. They won't pass you unless you prove your worth, and the minimum passing grade is 70, so it can be a bit challenging. You will need to study to pass no matter what, and there will be several presentations and assignments due almost every week. That's it.
Dislikes (Indian Food): I cook for myself because being a vegetarian is difficult here. There are a few restaurants that serve vegetarian food, but they are far. There are no international restaurants, but Russian restaurants provide the same service with different names.

It is a very good university. The faculty are knowledgeable and teach us in English.
Tips: Accommodation facilities are very limited. On the plus side, the environment is very conducive to learning, and students have the freedom to link their studies with other co-curricular activities. However, sports facilities are very limited, and cricket is not one of them.
Likes (Safety): There are numerous activities available, both on and off campus, to keep you engaged and entertained. Although Kazan is a relatively small city, it has a lot to offer, especially if you are an active person. All in all, it's a very good city to live in.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): Most of the teachers are graduates of the university, so they can share their own experiences on how to get through a particular subject. They are very knowledgeable and always willing to help students learn. While the main language of instruction is Russian, the faculty also speaks English, so there is no language barrier for Indian students.

The college provides a hostile environment for students and is stress free.
Tips: Before joining Perm State Medical University, you should know that the winters are very cold, with snowfall from mid-November to March-April. You will also meet people from many different cultures and regions, which will broaden your knowledge of the world. The university does not provide scholarships, but students who do well overall can get a concession on their fees, ranging from 5% to 15%. This depends on your yearly attendance and performance in class and exams.
Likes (Public transportation): Public transportation in Perm is very convenient and comfortable. The fare is just 38 rubles, and you can go as far as you want with that ticket. There are many buses, trolleybuses, trams, and the metro available, and the Yandex map shows the bus timings.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are two restaurants with Indian cuisine but as a student, I can't eat at the Indian restaurants very often. A cheaper and quicker option for food would be more convenient. Students coming should bring all the Indian masalas so that they don't miss home-cooked food while living here.

An enriching and supportive college experience.
Tips: Familiarity with the local culture and climate will also help in adjusting quickly. The transition was smooth, but adapting to the cultural norms and social dynamics took some time. Differences in communication styles, teaching approaches and campus life were noticeable. Embracing diversity and participating in events helped me integrate better.
Likes (Public transportation): Public transportation is highly efficient, well connected and reliable. It makes commuting to and from the campus hassle-free and convenient. The campus is centrally located and well connected with various parts of the city through buses, metro lines and ride sharing services. Frequent routes and stops close to campus make travelling easy for students.
Dislikes (Quality of faculty): Some faculty members are highly knowledgeable and engaging, but others are not as effective at communicating or adapting to students' needs. There is room for improvement in maintaining consistency across the teaching staff. Most faculty members are approachable and willing to help students during office hours or via email but accessibility varies as some professors are more proactive in engaging with students than others.

The faculty of is specialized in their fields and we have practical trainings.
Tips: The university is approved by the World Health Organization (WHO) and listed in the World Directory of Medical Schools. It is recognized by the Medical Council of India (MCI) (now NMC) and several other international medical councils. The faculty at Kazan State Medical University is international and English-speaking. The most popular faculty for international students is the General Medicine Faculty, which offers a six-year MBBS program. The faculty focuses on theoretical knowledge, practical skills, and clinical exposure. There are very few Indian restaurants and grocery stores in Russia. The Indian population in Russia is relatively small, leading to fewer Indian restaurants and grocery stores catering to Indian cuisine. Most Indian students and workers are concentrated in major cities like Moscow, St. Petersburg, and Kazan, which may have some Indian eateries, but these are scarce in smaller towns.

And keep in mind the language barrier.
Likes (Safety): It is pretty safe around here. You don't have to worry about your safety. The police are always patrolling the city. However, you should keep your documents safe, as they are your only identification here. You may be asked to show your documents at any time.

Saratov State Medical University has a huge campus and friendly people.
Tips: The main problem is food. We have to cook here. On campus, we need to travel by bus from one department to another. I didn't experience any cultural shift. The temperature can go down to minus 30 degrees Celsius. Public transportation can be quite unreliable. Buses sometimes don't come, and even when they do, you may have to wait for more than 40 minutes. This can be inconvenient and expensive, as you may have to book a cab. Additionally, there are some places that buses don't go. Overall, I am not very satisfied with my experiences.
Dislikes (Internships): Interns are expected to interact with patients, and it's hard to talk with patients and understand their problems if you don't speak the language fluently. If you knew Russian, it would be easier.

Saratov State Medical University has very little on-campus events for international students.
Tips: Students should know how to do official work and how to cook, as they will be living abroad. They should also know about FMGE and be able to live away from home and manage on their own. They should respect the culture of the country they are living in. There are too few events for international students at this college. There is no cultural fest for international students, and there are no concerts or sports events. Only a few students know about the events that are happening, and the rest of us are clueless. I think that everyone should be informed about the events so that no one feels deprived.
Likes (Safety): I feel safe in this city, especially as a woman. I have never had a bad experience here and I feel safe travelling alone even at night. The people here are very friendly and welcoming and they don't care about your style of dress. You can be yourself and not worry about being judged.

Tips: The university provides hostel accommodations for international students usually on a twin sharing basis. The hostels are located near the university which is convenient and safe especially during the harsh winters. Good expereinces.

International students are encouraged to live on campus during their initial years for enhanced safety and convenience. Hostels have separate arrangements for male and female students.
Dislikes (Part time work): There are several ways to find part time work as a student. Look for on campus jobs such as helping with research projects or working in administrative roles. Another option is tutoring or teaching a foreign language. Many local families and language schools hire part time tutors.
