Moving to a new country for your education is an exciting adventure. If you’re an Indian student planning to study in Russia, this guide will give you an idea of what to expect.
Accommodation
Most universities in Russia provide accommodation for international students in their hostels. These hostels are safe, comfortable, and equipped with all the necessary facilities. You’ll have the opportunity to live with students from different countries, which is a great way to make new friends and learn about different cultures.
Food
One of the biggest concerns for Indian students studying abroad is food. Fortunately, many universities in Russia have canteens that serve Indian food. There are also many Indian restaurants in major cities, so you’ll never be far from a taste of home.
Culture and Lifestyle
Russia has a rich and diverse culture, with a long history of art, music, and literature. You’ll have the opportunity to explore historic cities, visit world-class museums, and experience the vibrant local culture. The people are friendly and welcoming, and you’ll find that it’s easy to make new friends.
“I was a bit nervous about moving to Russia, but I quickly felt at home. The people are so friendly, and there’s so much to see and do. I’m so glad I chose to study here.”
