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 onl...

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.

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...

Tips: Before I went to Russia, I contacted some seniors who guided me very well. One thing they told me was that the weather is very cold, so I should pack warm clothes. Another thing they told me was that I should bring snacks and Indian spices because I would be cooking my own food. The internships are not very good. Sometimes we are asked to clean floors, and other times there is no work at all. I suggest that you take your internships in India. Part-time work is allowed at our university. In fact,...

Tips: I checked my university ranking, and it was in second place according to Forbes. Students need to know about the college ranking. They should also know about the climate, food, and accommodation facilities that the college provides. There aren't many options for post-study jobs. The language barrier makes it difficult to work as a doctor, but it is possible to work in other sectors. But part-time jobs are easy to find. There are a lot of opportunities in Orenburg, where I live. We can work at Bu...

Tips: When you come to study at a university in a new country, you need to be more adaptive. You cannot expect things to be the same as in your home country. You need to accept things as they are and not complain about what you don't like. You also need to learn the local language, as it will be a big hurdle if you don't. There are many distractions in a new country, but if you stay focused on your studies, you will be fine.

Tips: Before joining Orenburg State Medical University (OSMU), students should be aware of its rigorous academic environment and the importance of staying disciplined.

Tips: Before joining this university every student must know that the language barrier is a real thing. Teachers use the Soviet method on students, and you will be taught Russian in Russian, not with the help of English. Also, be prepared to have no friends, as the environment is so competitive that people will just use you and let you down so they can win. Studies are the priority, and the university will keep reminding you of this until you graduate. The dean is very helpful, and you should be prepa...

Tips: Russia is a safe place for girls. Everyone is respectful, and there are strict rules against violations. The environment is peaceful, and you can roam freely even at night without fear. However, I would say that you have to learn Russian to communicate with patients and natives. If you are looking for part-time work, you can apply for a job at a nearby restaurant. The pay is enough, and there are no taxes for Indians. There are a lot of vacancies, so you shouldn't have any trouble getting a job....

Tips: The weather is the most important factor for students coming here. For a few months there is snow filled all over the city and the temperature drops to -30. You need warm clothes in this season. While there are 3-4 months when there is hot weather. There are no scholarships given by the University to foreign students that we have heard of yet. I'm quite satisfied with the University. There is a cultural difference but you will soon adapt to it.
