The university is wonderful and it has the best campus, facilities and faculty.
Tips: Before joining, students should know about hostel life, food, and other expenses. Students should bring their own spices, as spicy food is not widely eaten in Russia. Students can earn money while studying by doing various part-time jobs. The people in Russia are very friendly and helpful.
Likes (Safety): The city is very safe. I could go anywhere at any time, and even the nightlife felt safe. There were police officers everywhere, and they would check our visas and passports if necessary. If we needed help, we could contact them at any time.
Dislikes (Internships): The college is the best. It provides the highest quality education to its students. The college also encourages opportunities for student betterment. The seniors are very helpful and provide us with proper notes. The staff at the college is the best, and the services provided by the college are very good.

Kazan State Medical University, Russia: Leading medical education with global standards.
Tips: I had a smooth transition to this college, but it took some effort to adapt to the multicultural environment. The faculty in my department is highly approachable and accessible, always ready to assist students with academic and personal concerns. Their teaching methodology emphasizes practical applications, case-based learning, and interactive discussions, which make concepts easier to understand. Additionally, the faculty includes professionals from diverse nationalities, bringing a global perspective to the classroom. College life is vibrant, with a mix of academics and extracurricular activities. I enjoy spending my day engaging in lectures, group discussions, and participating in campus events like cultural festivals, seminars, and sports competitions. Our campus offers various student clubs, including music, debate, and volunteer groups, encouraging students to explore their interests and build connections. Scholarships are available for deserving students based on merit and need, and I received one with an allowance covering tuition and living expenses. Overall, I am highly satisfied with the university, the course curriculum, and the supportive environment.

The university is strict and has strong academics.
Tips: I got a scholarship at my college in Russia. To get one, you need to focus on your studies and have good attendance. The criteria are listed on the official university website or you can ask your counsellor before joining. You will have to do a lot of cooking because Indian food is not very available. And keep in mind the language barrier.
Likes (Safety): It is pretty safe around here. You don't have to worry about your safety. The police are always patrolling the city. However, you should keep your documents safe, as they are your only identification here. You may be asked to show your documents at any time.
Dislikes (Part time work): Our college doesn't allow us to work very long shifts because it can impact our studying. However, you can work small shifts if you have mastered the Russian language because without it you won't be able to earn much money.

A fun and loving experience
Tips: Be prepared for the cold weather. For the FMGE exams start preparing in your 4th year. It takes one extra year in Russia to graduate in MBBS. The expenses each month can be up to 20,000 rubles minimum. Also the recent war has increased the prices of day to day items .
Likes (Student Life): Great environment and facilities. Very safe and friendly. You will have great experiences. Its basically everything that you can expect of a modern city. It has great facilities, good transport system and decent people. The lifestyle is great and comfortable.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): It depends on the person, if you learn the language well and are ready to serve for lower pay grades then its good for permanent immigration. Also the expenses can increase over time and the cold weather can be bothersome sometimes. The faculty during the last year is kind of strict and you will need to focus more .

My experience in Kazan state medical university was good.
Tips: If you are ready to overcome your fear of leaving home for studies then it will be worth it. Also, stay away from fraud consultancies as they would charge you a handsome amount of money and won't help you after. Many students have to face this issue, so be careful.
Likes (Internships): Internship in kazan state medical university is best in Russia as after completing the MBBS course, students always worry about their internships. So, here you would find yourself at ease to complete your internship. And teachers help international students in every way possible.
Dislikes (Indian Food): There are no Indian food options over here and mostly non veg food is available everywhere. Those who choose to be vegetarian, have to reconsider their choices because no vegetarian food is available in this country. People generally cook for themselves.

The university is good but it is very tough to get a scholarship.
Tips: Before joining this college, students should know that there is a bit of a cultural shift. The rules are a bit stricter than in India. Scholarships are available, and I have received them. To qualify, you need to score above 80% in every subject. If you score above 90% in every subject, you will receive a 15% scholarship. Overall, I am satisfied with the college.
Likes (Public transportation): The public transportation system has lots of options, including metro, tram, bus, electric bus, and cabs. The frequency of the transport is every 10 minutes, and it is comfortable to travel across the city. The only downside is that it is a bit expensive.
Dislikes (Internships): There is less clinical exposure at this university because the hospital is very clean and patients with infectious diseases rarely visit. However, there are a decent number of patients in other departments. Another reason for the low clinical exposure is the language barrier.
