Good public transportation facilities.
Tips: The public transport system is very good and convenient here. You can also take cab, it is not very expensive. There is a cultural shift as the language used here is very different but you will adapt to it or get used to it.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): It is a very safe country with nice career opportunities. People who can survive in extreme weather conditions can surely try to settle permanently. Salary is also good here. You can earn very well. It is a nice country with nice culture without any racial discrimination.
Dislikes (Indian Food): This place has a good cafe and restaurants. You can also cook for yourself. Everything is available here. Only problem is they do not season food good enough here, but it is manageable. Also has very good coffee places. There are some indian restaurants too.

The university has a friendly and science-oriented focus.
Tips: I've had no trouble adjusting culturally since my university has a friendly and science-oriented focus. The only real culture shock I got here is the weather as it can get cold in Russia. I do have to dress warm and wear full-size jackets when I go outside, but that's nothing a warm winter coat can't handle. Transportation around here is very easy thanks to all the options for getting around, including taxis, buses, and trolleys. In winter I tend to opt for taxis over public transport because of the cold, but public transport is acceptable for 30 minutes of travel without any issues. We must learn the Russian language, which is a challenge, and the pay is low compared to other countries. Even with the opportunity to settle permanently, this is not a good career choice for me. Aside from that, I've been very happy with my university. As a bonus, I'm thankful that I didn't avoid any scholarships. I'm satisfied with my university and my course.

There are lots of ups and downs throughout our college life.
Tips: Everyone is very welcoming and we don’t feel discriminated against. But some of the staff have some serious issues that need to be addressed. One of the things I really appreciate about the Northern State Medical University is that they offer lots of opportunities for us to do part-time work while we’re studying, both on and off campus. They do this because they want to help us develop our skills in the medical field. They have partnerships with a local hospital so there are positions open for us to work there. Overall, I am fully satisfied with Northern State Medical University and Russia.
Dislikes (Value for money): The tuition fees feel like they're justified by the quality of the teaching, but it can feel a little expensive at times. There's some modern infrastructure missing, like updated technology.

Northern state medical university situated in European North of Russia
Tips: Students should know that they are going to be living in a European culture and should brace themselves for the weather. It's probably not going to be the same as in your home country. In our department, all faculty members teach in English and complete the syllabus according to schedule and practice. Weekly tests, which are analyzed to provide feedback, are also scheduled. We have experienced faculty from India, Pakistan, and Russia, and we can ask our questions or express doubts on the Moodle platform. Student life is good because the university does a lot for us. We have well-maintained hostels, and clean rooms for two to three people, and our university holds many events including Indian festivals, faculty day, and gatherings of the International Friendships Club, the scientific society, and the language club. I'm totally satisfied with my decision to attend this university.

The university is average and does not provide much opportunities.
Tips: If you have the talent and the drive to succeed, then you should come to this university. But if you are only coming for the degree, then don't come here, because there are many chances of getting expelled. You can enjoy yourself a lot here. You will have time to study, travel, and experience another country. The faculty is quite helpful so you can reach out to them if you face any difficulties. The food that we get here is not good and does not appeal to our Indian taste buds. So, bring your own masalas, ghee, etc. as they are not easily available and expensive to buy.

Great for study as well as for sports.
Tips: Before joining, students should not be stressed too much because it's an easygoing process. You can easily match the study pattern and lifestyle of this place. In the beginning, there will be a few problems, but with the advice of seniors, you can easily overcome them. I am satisfied with my university.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): If you learn Russian, you will have many opportunities to settle in this country. The people are very cooperative, especially if you speak Russian. If I had the opportunity, I would definitely settle here. There are already some seniors here who have settled here.
Dislikes (Quality of faculty): We have some Indian teachers here who are very good and helpful. The teaching pattern is similar to that in India, and the teachers are from many different countries and all speak very good English.
