Tambov State University is well regarded for its medical courses and has a good reputation.
Tips: Before joining this college, students should know that determination and consistency in attending classes are key to success. It is also important to have a basic understanding of the Russian language and be willing to learn and improve it with the help of the Russian teachers at the university. Students should also be aware of the weather, food, Russian culture, and the rules and regulations of the university. Finally, students should learn to be independent. I felt safe on campus and while travelling by bus or train. There were police on every street, security at the university, and 24-hour security at the hostel. The people were friendly and treated me like a friend.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I don't prefer permanent immigration because I don't speak the language well and I find the climate here to be very different from my home country. Also, the food and groceries are not the same as in India, and I have a hard time finding the things that I need.

Tambov State University is highly affordable and provides many facilities to students.
Tips: Before joining, students should contact a senior student and ask them any questions they may have. It is better to bring some extra clothes and other items. Students should prepare for exams, as they are mostly oral. Students should also go to the hospital to practice. Learning Russian will take you to the next level. Tambov State University has affordable tuition, free accommodation, a mess hall for food, and an Indian restaurant with a wide variety of dishes. The campus is beautiful, and the facilities are modern. The university offers a wide range of courses and majors, and the faculty is very knowledgeable and helpful. There are a lot of part-time jobs available. I got my first job as a courier and bought a cycle, skate, scooter, and moped. Later, I bought a car that I could use for work. I bought everything I owned with the money I earned from my part-time jobs. Overall, I am highly satisfied with the course, university and the country.

The university has best faculty and safe environment.
Tips: Students applying to a Russian university should apply directly to the university rather than going through a consultancy agency. The curriculum is different from that in India, so students should be prepared to adjust to the different teaching methods. However, the university offers a good quality education and is highly regarded among Russian universities.
Likes (Part time work): There are a lot of opportunities for students to work part-time while they are studying at this university. The university and government help international students get the necessary documentation to work part-time, and the average salary is 40,000 rubles per month. Burger King, McDonald's, and KFC franchises offer reasonable salaries for part-time work.

Tambov State University provides a welcoming environment for foreign students.
Tips: Tambov State Medical University is a reputable institution for medical education in Russia. The university has a beautiful campus, modern facilities, and qualified faculty. It provides a good quality of education, making it a sought-after choice for international students seeking an MBBS degree, particularly from India. However, some potential drawbacks include the language barrier due to primarily Russian instruction and a relatively lower ranking compared to top Russian medical universities. TSU is a highly regarded university in Russia, and it offers top-class educational facilities for medical students. It has well-equipped laboratories and clinical settings, and student life is friendly and peaceful. TSU offers many opportunities for students to work part-time and retake exams, and it has strict security and extra precautions for the safety of girls. It has a good quality education, a friendly relationship with India, and a welcoming campus for Indian students.

Tambov State University is the medical hub of colleges and offers a wide variety of programs.
Tips: I did not experience any culture shock because the culture here is very similar to ours. The faculty are very friendly and approachable, and they always respond to students' questions. They also use a variety of teaching methods and equipment to help students learn. I did not receive any scholarship as I was not eligible for one. The course is advanced and the university is very welcoming. Overall, I am quite satisfied with my experiences.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): I do not plan to live permanently or migrate to Tambov, because I cannot leave my family. However, I do think Tambov is a very nice city, and I would suggest people immigrate here as there are plenty of opportunities to explore.

Tambov State University - A perfect choice for MBBS abroad.
Tips: Tambov State University has a modern campus with advanced facilities, including sports complexes, museums, and hostels. Students can enjoy a comfortable and engaging campus life. Students generally appreciate the university's modern infrastructure, well-equipped laboratories, and experienced faculty. The university offers a diverse range of extracurricular activities, cultural events, and sports facilities. Tambov, Russia, is generally considered a safe city for international students. Some factors that contribute to its safety are a low crime rate, a secure university campus, a supportive local community, language support, and cultural adaptation programs. However, as with any foreign travel, international students should take some basic safety precautions.
Dislikes (Part time work): Part-time work is very rare in Tambov, and even if you find it, you'll need to speak the local language very well. Some possible part-time job options include tutoring or teaching English, working in retail or hospitality, freelance writing or designing, pet-sitting or dog-walking, and part-time jobs on university campuses for students. If you're interested in exploring part-time work in Tambov, I recommend searching local job listings or consulting with a career counsellor.
