Stavropol State Medical University Reviews & Ratings ,,Russia

Tips: Students should try to contact some seniors of the same university they are going to be admitted to so that they can guide them throughout.

Tips: I have not experienced any cultural shift. We celebrate in the hostels on our own Indian festivals and New Year's etc. I don't have any scholarships, I pay for everything myself. When I'm feeling like eating out, the budget I've set for myself just won't allow it. Prices in Russia are high compared to my country. Back home, I can get by on 100 rupees, but a single 900-gram bag of food here cost 125 rules. Most of the time I cook for myself. I think I'm doing pretty well, better than some other ...

Tips: I rated it a 4 because vegetarian students have difficulty with the food, as in Russia, non-vegetarian items are more common than vegetarian items. My typical day in college involves attending classes and, during breaks, eating lunch or brunch. Students considering this university should familiarize themselves with the language and the food system beforehand. The faculty quality is very nice, due to the university's FMGE pass rate.
