Wonderful college experience with wonderful university.

Besides, guidance from teachers and outside people allows students to safely explore the city and its environment. It's wonderful to be here.

The university is average and lacks to provide opportunities to students.
Tips: Before applying to a university, you should do your research and learn from a reputable source. Mari State University is in Yoshkar-Ola, a small town where things are not fancy. There are also language barriers, so make sure to learn some Russian if you choose to apply. Extreme temperatures are an additional negative. If you are a medical student, a part-time job is out of the question. There are no high-paying jobs either. People usually get menial labour jobs, like working in a chicken factory or something similar. Some of my friends have gotten injured while working at a lumber mill.

Good friendly nature and heart whelming experiences.
Tips: Russia is way safer than the US, UK, Europe, Canada, and Australia. More than 4,00,000 international students were enrolled in Russian universities as of January 2023. More students are enrolling each year. International students often hang out together, so you'll probably enjoy great company most of the time. There are many festivals and activities held on campus. We all celebrate Indian festivals as well. There are a number of people who are very keen to learn about our culture and experiences. The faculty os outstanding and very helpful. They provide us with course packs and materials. Overall, I am quite satisfied with the country, course and the university.

The college is average and there are hardly any practical classes.
Tips: There are no scholarships as of now and my parents pay for all my expenses. It's an average university and you'll get time to do a lot of self-study, but there are much better universities than this one, so please choose wisely. The practical classes have a very average approach here. Russian people may get the desired exposure, but Indians may not. There are few opportunities for clinical practice, so if you want to succeed, learning Russian will definitely help. Due to the language barrier here, most people prefer to work with Slavic people, and it becomes difficult to communicate with people on a daily basis because they don't speak English. Therefore, it's hard to find part-time jobs. As an MBBS student, I also have limited time for part-time jobs, so I personally prefer not to work.

Our college provides quality education. The faculty are well educated.
Tips: The university arranged an olympiad test in many subjects for students who got first rank in the university and by giving prizes and some kind scholarships. There are many options in our city for students who want to work and study at the same time such as cafe and factory package work or delivery service work, etc. The pay is good enough that we could easily manage our rent, food, and other expenses as students while we study. I think it's very nice to have this option available, and I think we can manage work and school. Indian food here is available, but not the same kind of Indian food we get in India. Russian food is not spicy the way Indian food is. The price of food here is a little higher than it is back home. Our university campus has a canteen where you can eat pizza, burgers, and fries. It's also a nice place to sit down for a coffee or a meal.
