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.

Tambov State University is an average university. The course needs some changes.
Tips: The language barrier makes it difficult to understand some subjects and the coursework is rigorous. If you fail an exam, you only have three attempts, and each attempt costs 21,000 rubles. If you fail an oral exam, you'll need to pay 21,000 rubles. If you study hard, you can pass the oral exams. If you fail all three attempts, you'll be expelled from the university. However, if you're fluent in Russian, you'll have great opportunities here. You'll have a good chance of getting a good salary and making contacts with Russians. The starting salary is good, but to get more you'll need to do postgraduate work here. Be prepared to take oral exams, as there are no written exams. You'll also need to learn Russian and cook your own meals. There are many events for Indians, such as Diwali, which is well celebrated here. I feel that practical knowledge is much more important than written exams, but this university doesn't provide much practical experience. You'll need to learn on your own, and some of the teachers only speak Russian, which makes it difficult to understand the subject matter.
Likes (Public transportation): We have continuous bus and cab service all over, from morning till night, and even after that. The bus fee is 27, but we can travel to every place with that. In some cars, we get cashback, and in some places, we can get free bus passes to travel for cycling or classes.
Dislikes (Internships): The school offers a limited number of internships, and most of them are available only to students who are fluent in Russian. Also, the internships tend to be more theoretical than practical, which makes it difficult for students who are not fluent in Russian to get the most out of them. However, if you are fluent in Russian, you should be able to manage these internships.

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 has very limited internship opportunities.
Tips: Before joining this college, students should know the Russian method of education, culture, and rules of the Russian Federation. They should also know the university's requirements, such as attending classes regularly, renewing their visas, and migrating on time. Students should also be aware of the dress code that must be followed when entering the campus. Finally, students should have basic knowledge of the Russian language.
Likes (Public transportation): The fares are fixed within the city limits, and a government website provides real-time tracking of bus locations and arrival times, which is especially helpful during the winter season. The payment system is secure, and the overall quality of the transportation system is good.
Dislikes (Indian Food): For international students, it can be difficult to adapt to the food culture because only Russian food is available. However, there are kitchens in the hostel where you can cook your own food. Also, there are new varieties of Russian food that are delicious, so you might want to try them.
