I love my college and the friends that I have made.
Tips: Student should know atleast english language to communicate with each other because there student's face these types of problem. And what they had gone to pursue, they must know little bit about that also. And should know about the environment of that place.
Likes (Student Life): The student life is very good in foreign and we make new friends from different countries and learn different things from them and that makes us feel good. The student can do their studies as well as part time jobs also which lead to a financial support.
Dislikes (Indian Food): The food of this country is unusual to us for the first time but when the time goes by they taste good. At the same time, they have maximum non vegetarian food like beef and pork that are unusual to us, so we don't eat food outside most of the time we prepare our food.

Wonderful college experience with wonderful university.

The professors here are very humble, supportive, and caring, we can easily crack our competitive exams by following their guidance. Teaching here is much better than at other institutions. 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.

"Essential Insights for Prospective Medical Students"
Tips: Student life at our medical university is engaging and dynamic. From lively lectures to hands-on lab sessions, there's always something new to learn. The campus is vibrant, with various clubs and organizations to suit every interest. Despite the academic rigour, I've made lifelong friends and memories here. The faculty were knowledgeable and supportive, and the hands-on training was invaluable. The curriculum was rigorous but rewarding, and I feel well-prepared for my future career in medicine. Hands-on experience, patient interaction, supportive community, clubs and organizations. Our medical university gave me a great experience. Overall, I am quite satisfied with the college and the country.

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.

Disappointing experience and no growth or opportunities.
Tips: Before joining, students should know that there are no scholarships available for Indian students. I experienced a cultural shift, but the main challenge was the unpredictable schedule and the lack of English-speaking staff. Near exam times, the schedule becomes extremely hectic from 8 am-8 pm leaving little time for self-study. Overall, I'm dissatisfied with the university's management and scheduling.
Likes (Public transportation): Public transportation is convenient and affordable. The campus is well-connected to the city via small vans like buses that run frequently. In summer, walking is an option, but in winter, buses are a comfortable choice. Recently, electric buses have been introduced. To avoid transportation hassles, I opted for an apartment near the university, making it easily accessible.
Dislikes (Indian Food): Food options in this location are quite limited, and I can't say I was happy with the choices. I have no complaints about the quality, but the lack of spicy food options dropped my overall rating. With my current dietary restrictions, the local Russian restaurants are the only viable option and the average cost of a meal is about 15-20 dollars. The other options on the menu are typically pretty expensive too. I've never had any complaints about the quality at any of the restaurants, but the lack of variety does leave me with nothing to do but cook meals for myself.

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.

Faculty are renowned for their exceptional teaching and unwavering dedication to student success.
Tips: I’m very happy to be a student at such a wonderful university. I’ve learned so much about different cultures, which is important because my university embraces diversity and inclusion. Because of my faculty’s expertise and passion, I’ve also benefited from a transformative learning environment. The fifth year and internship were valuable inclusions and gave me hands-on experience in the field. The university has high standards, but limited partnerships with industry. This makes it harder to find internships. So, for any student studying in India, it's essential to be proactive and persistent in your search.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty at my university are renowned for their exceptional teaching, groundbreaking research, and unwavering dedication to student success. Our campus bursts with energetic debates, culture, festivals, and cutting-edge research. With a strong emphasis on innovation and creativity, the university's commitment to social responsibility and community engagement inspires students to become active global citizens who shape a brighter future for all.

Great university with advanced technologies and updated syllabus.
Tips: Students should know that MBBS is not easy. You will have to study a lot. And as long you give your best the teachers will appreciate it and help you in becoming the best version of yourself. The local people are friendly. The neighbourhood is safe. The university campus is big and pretty accessible. The library is one of the best where a student can study. The sports department is very involved and encouraging. If the student is sincere then the teachers also try their best to help the student to the best of their capabilities. The faculty's ability to break down complex problems in an easy manner for the student to understand is truly commendable and worth appreciation. I came here as a transfer student from Ukraine, and I can't say enough good things about it. You should definitely consider this university if you want to get an education in Russia.

The university is decent and lacks many facilities.
Tips: After coming here, you'll find that the life of every student is going to have its ups and downs. It's nothing out of the ordinary, but keep going because you’ve already come so far. Focus on your studies and try to self-study as well. Every person here minds their own business and doesn't try to interfere in other people's business. It's quite good, and safety is just awesome even though girls are roaming outside at night. I like the safety here because even though girls are roaming outside at night, there are no safety issues at all. I prefer to cook for myself, as the restaurants are very expensive, and I can't afford them. However, I still go to a restaurant once a month to try something new, and to break from the monotony of my own food. There are restaurants that are decent for Indian food. In conclusion, my experiences dining out in the area where I live have been decent, and I feel confident that I have enough to choose from.

"Transformative Learning, Lasting Memories: My College Experience
Tips: Before you join this college, it's essential to know that it offers a world-class education. The school also includes a unique blend of rigorous academics, innovative learning, and extracurricular opportunities. They emphasize diversity and inclusion and are engaged in community outreach. It is an ideal choice for students who are looking for a college that gives a full, or holistic, educational experience. Overall, I am quite satisfied here.
Likes (Public transportation): The array of clubs and organizations on campus caters to a wide range of interests and passions. Some of the student clubs include the robotics team and finance club. In addition to academic clubs, there are also cultural clubs, such as the dance troupe and the music society. No matter what your interests or passion might be, the club and organization scene here has something for everyone.
Dislikes (Value for money): The teaching methodology in my department is unique in its emphasis on hands-on learning, collaborative projects, and real-world applications. Professors use innovative techniques, such as flipped classrooms, peer-to-peer learning, and industry partnerships, to create an engaging and interactive learning environment.

The university is average but the student life is amazing.
Tips: So there is some noticeable cultural shift, which you have to respect. Here people don’t talk loudly as we do in India. We have to be more conscious about how we dress, especially in winter. You must wear winter clothes properly. Avoid clashing with locals. And for university studies, try to give your attendance as much as possible, because it will help you to pass many subjects easily without any exams.

Beautiful college in a beautiful city with warm and friendly people.
Tips: Students need to be aware that the food options are plentiful, but the tastes are different. You're going to have to work extra hard to get used to it. The university is located in the city centre and well connected to transportation. This makes travelling to and from the university a breeze, as you can take the bus from any point in the city to the university. Plus, the bus runs from 6 am to 8 pm, so no need to worry about getting to class on time. There is also a large canteen on campus. Overall, I’m well-satisfied with my college and the country.
Dislikes (Internships): This university was once new and average, but now it's lovely. The faculty is great, the staff is kind, and you don't feel homesick. The students love the university, and the Russian people are welcoming, too. So, you will love it.

Good and very friendly vibes from everyone.
Tips: Everyone should know that they should be independent here. I didn’t get any scholarships. I noticed many changes after coming here such as in food, clothing, language, religion, culture, and many more. I learned many new things after coming here. There are no such jobs for the field which I choose. We are required to take exams. Surgeons and many more opportunities you can get after graduation here. You need to take a medical entrance test in India after graduation here after that you can do post-graduation. You can do a part-time job in the weekends. Payout for the part time job depends on the work you choose. We can get min 500- 600 rubles per day in every job which are available here. At present, I'm doing delivery job where it will get 400 roubles for an hour.

University is good, friendly faculty and awesome management.
Tips: Few may get cultural shock, and a few may feel comfortable with the environment and its weather and food. So, it is good to be prepared for the cold weather. And it is good to bring some spices and cooking materials like vessels from India. As an Indian student living abroad, the biggest challenge I face is finding food I like. We are used to having way more options and materials for meals in India than are available here. I'd recommend packing your own cookware and spices from India to make it easier to cook meals that you like. We feel safe here at Mari State University, and this is because they have strong security protocols and measures. As students, we need to keep in mind that there are other students and staff who we need to respect. I have noticed that some students have problems regarding the issues with the locality, but I think that this is a good place to study.

The university is good and the classes are engaging and interactive.
Tips: Students who wish to study at the University of Mari State should familiarize themselves with the area and its climate. They should also learn about the schools policies and schedule so they can familiarize themselves with the study programme and how long they will be away. Students who are studying abroad should also prepare themselves for the transition by practising some basic cooking skills that will help them survive. This will give them more flexibility and prevent them from having to rely on familiar or potential unhealthy food. It would also be wise to learn more about where you're going to be living and what is available in the area. It's always best to prepare for the worst and hope for the best.
Likes (Value for money): I think that the best thing about studying here is that the people here are all very friendly. They are super helpful and try their best to support the students who study here. I never have to worry about my safety, which is a big plus. I can explore the area without feeling like I'm in danger. Being able to have access to everything and be able to participate in all sorts of things like sports and culture is a great perk too.
Dislikes (Part time work): In our classes here, the teachers are all friendly and teach us everything we need to know. They even provide all the materials we need to prepare for class and hold interactive sessions to keep us engaged. They provide us with all the practical and theoretical knowledge for the topics and I'm very satisfied with the teaching quality.

Affordable with best quality.
Tips: Students check out a video or vlog that gives you a closer look at the university. If you have any concerns about the cost of attending the university, or if you need information about student accommodations, you can find those answers there, as well as things like how reliable public transportation is in the area, and whether it's possible to get Indian spices if you're worried about being too far from home. The university itself is in a lovely small town, but if you're coming from a different country, you'll want to know that and be prepared for the pace of life that goes with it. Here we have 4 libraries that are always available for the students to use. They celebrate culture festivals with great enthusiasm. You can feel the diversity of the culture on campus. They also provide a free gym, and there are also cultural and Indian festivals celebrated from time to time. The faculty are well experienced in all subjects, with digital methodology and clinical correlation. These universities provide other courses besides medicine. It is one of the best universities in Mari El Republic, and Indian and Egyptian students study here with other international students.

Good in multi dimensional aspects and studies.
Tips: There was a big cultural shift when I got here, not only because of the location but also because of the language. Since there were other Indian students, I got used to it pretty quickly, and we all learned to appreciate each other's cultures. I find that the pace of life here and the mindset of people is very different. It can be challenging to understand how some things work, like public transportation and scheduling appointments. But the lifestyle here is very different from Indian culture, which is pretty nice. I'm used to the food by now, and we eat as a group, so it's definitely made the transition easier. Teaching is normal, but few teachers make it worth it. They teach using Indian books for us to understand better, and they give coaching from Indian doctors who give us cash courses for subjects we need.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): As for permanent immigration or settlement, you need to have a job, and that's a problem. You'll have to be fluent in Russian, and that's not easy. If given the chance to immigrate here, I wouldn't. In comparison to India, the pay for the same job isn't enough, and the winters are too harsh.

Mari State University has good academics but it can be stressful.
Tips: I feel the hostel conditions are bad. In single rooms, nearly six students are living. The rooms are very small and the kitchen is only on the ground floor. Students on the fifth floor would have to go all the way down to the ground floor to use the kitchen. There's only one Indian restaurant here, and it opened three or four months ago. The food is a little overpriced, and there aren't a lot of other Indian food options here. The restaurants in my city are expensive, and the food isn't very good. Sometimes, it's fine, but most of the time, it's not that good. Students should know that they can get many part-time jobs that pay by the hour. Many of the jobs are at places like chicken factories or similar places. If a student is properly documented, they can make good money, day by day, at these places.

The college is nice and the curriculum is tough.
Tips: You should be ready and mentally prepared for whatever comes your way. Don’t trust too easily. Learn cooking before you come here. You won’t be spoon-fed here and you have to thrive. I personally haven't had any bad experiences, but I have heard a few incidents where the city isn't very safe at night. So, I guess if you hear something like that, it sticks in your head. However, if you’re thinking of renting an apartment here, you’ll have to be extremely careful. I also understand that neighbours can be very strict in this area, as well. It would be great if there were more options for vegetarian food outside the dorm. I've tried that one Indian restaurant near campus, but the food doesn't taste very good. There isn't much choice on the menu, and the food I did get was overpriced and just average.
