Things to plan for
Honest factors students weigh before choosing Russia — not deal-breakers, but worth budgeting and preparing for.
- Winters are milder than Siberia or Moscow, but still much colder than India for several months — warm clothing and heated housing matter.
- Clinical years and hospital work often involve Russian — basic local language helps even in English-medium programs.
- Long distance from India — fewer home visits and higher airfare than nearby options like Nepal or Bangladesh.
- Ruble (₽) exchange-rate moves can shift living costs versus the INR figures in the fee sheet.
