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.
