Indian students must bear in mind that Russian medical institutes are spread across the country which might have cold and harsh climate. There are direct flights only between New Delhi-Moscow and students studying in different regions would have to take further flights/modes of transport to reach their destination. Cost of living, particularly fresh fruits/vegetables, is generally high and Indian food is not available in the universities in which they are seeking admission. Hostels at many universities could be inadequate. The students are generally expected to cook their own food.
