Things to plan for

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

Extreme cold and long winters (−20°C to −40°C common) — a major adjustment for Indian students; quality winter gear and heated dorm routes are essential.
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.
