Good university and excellent teaching staff.
Tips: Students should know before joining the university that they need to qualify for the NEET exam. Without that, please don't join. Try to contact the university directly, it may reduce stress. Buy good thick clothes. It gets could there. If you are vegetarian, try to get enough spices in your bags, as you won't unnecessarily find the same foods you are used to eating at home. If you are able to, bring a pressure cooker with you so you can prepare your own food to the flavour you like. Orenburg is a safe place for students. It is also a good place for girls. People here are generally friendly and helpful. I had a good experience. I have been staying here for six years yet I have not faced any problems.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Once I ate Russian chicken, they didn't boil it completely. They just half-boil it, and they don't put any masala on it, either. They just barbecue it and serve it, which isn't nice at all. There's no pani puri here, or anything like that you get in India.

The college is fine, and it requires students to work hard.
Tips: Students should know about the college/university, faculty, study place, hostel, campus, living conditions, weather, cost of living, temperature, room conditions and materials to carry with themselves. They should be aware about what all to carry while coming here for the first time, like warm clothes and shoes, etc.
Likes (Safety): Safety is so good. I have not faced any problem till now. Not just me, no one has faced any problem until now. I am so happy about it. Safety is totally assured. That is my guarantee. Russians are far better than Indians. They don't interfere. They don't create problems.
Dislikes (Indian Food): No proper food options. I don't see any Indian food here. I can't live without Indian food. I can find only pizzas, burgers and KFC. How many times could we eat the same thing? I am fed up of eating outside and that too the same thing again and again. Recently, I have started to prepare my own food.

This university is only good for a degree. No internships or practical exposure.
Tips: There was a massive cultural shift from India, which is a friendly country where people help each other out. In Russia, people mind their own business. Also, I am not aware of any scholarships available for Indian students. Most importantly, my university lacks the proper training that I will need to work in a country like India. Overall, I am not satisfied with my university in Russia.
Likes (Public transportation): The public transportation in this city is very affordable and connects the whole city with buses. It costs only thirty or thirty-five rubles to roam the entire city. Although the campuses are spread across the city, you can reach them by bus or taxi.
Dislikes (Internships): Internships are close to impossible to find because of the fact that Indians do not speak fluent Russian and the teachers too can't speak and understand fluent English therefore it's not possible to do internship here in Russia. The university lacks clinical training.

Best in safety and good quality of academics.
Tips: The culture here is quite modern, but we easily adapted. Many consultants are available in India as well; RMEA is managing here, and another dominant one is Rus Education. There is no discrimination, and it's good for studying. Food is not good in the whole of Russia; self-cooking is the best option. I am very satisfied with the studies and the city. Our city is not big, but we can get all things easily here. Many students fail, but at the end, the FMGE results are good.
Likes (Safety): The whole of Russia is very safe for students, and the people are also good. There are good laws, and that's why all things are under control. We are happy to live here, and overall, things are good. Our city, Orenburg, is very strict in studies.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): I don't know about all placements, as many of us come through agency consultancies. Jobs are also available here, but the schedule is tight, so we don't have time to do them.

Student life is good but you have to study hard.
Tips: Students should know about the campus, university, hostel, food facility, rooms, and the distance between the hostel and university. They also need to know about the climatic conditions and, most importantly, the banks where they can exchange currency from rupees to rubles. I stayed in Orenburg for 5.8 years, and the food options were very limited. There were only a few places to eat, and the food was not good. I missed the variety of food options that we have in India. I worked part-time at KFC and earned more than 50,000 rubles. It was a nice experience, and the money helped me a lot. I used the money to book a flight back to India. There are other places to work as well, such as Burger King, Dodo Pizza, and others.

Orenburg State Medical University is a good option to pursue Doctor of Medicine.
Tips: I came to this university through an agency. If you are considering this university, you should know that the yearly tuition is 6,000 dollars. Also, this university is academically rigorous, so you will need to work hard to keep up with the coursework. Finally, the university is ranked among the top five in the country.
Likes (Safety): I feel 100 percent secure at this university. I have never felt unsafe here. The people of the city are friendly, especially the young people, and are always willing to help. There is a hospital nearby that has a policy for international students, which is very helpful.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Some restaurants have Indian food options, but they are expensive. If you are not too picky, you can order from a fixed menu. However, be prepared to wait a long time for your food. They will even charge you if you want it a little spicy. If you don't mind eating bread-like food, KFC and Burger King are available. Most people in the city live on bread-like food, so you may have to adjust to that.
