Things to plan for

Honest factors students weigh before choosing Russia — not deal-breakers, but worth budgeting and preparing for.

  • Very cold winters (often well below freezing for months) — plan for winter clothing, limited outdoor time, and heated campus travel.
  • 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.
