MIPT operates 13 student dormitories on and around its Dolgoprudny campus. Official per-dormitory monthly accommodation fees are heavily subsidised, running from roughly RUB 1,187 to RUB 1,715 per month (about USD 13-19) depending on the specific building, with one dormitory (No. 4) housing mostly international students. Scholarship holders are guaranteed a place; self-paying students can request a dormitory room subject to availability. Students who prefer or need private housing typically pay RUB 12,000-30,000 per month (about USD 130-330) for a room or shared flat in the Moscow region, materially more than campus housing. Applicants should confirm current room allocation and any deposit requirements directly with MIPT's International Department before arrival.

MIPT's campus has more than 20 on-campus food points, including a dedicated dining hall delivery service (3ka Food), a Russian-food outlet (Very Food), a doner-kebab and pancake counter, and branches of Bizon Pizza and DoDo Pizza, plus Yandex.Food and Delivery Club for off-campus delivery. Students in the dormitories generally self-cater using shared kitchens or eat at campus canteens. MIPT's own materials do not list dedicated Indian grocery or restaurant partnerships near the Dolgoprudny campus; students with specific dietary needs should expect to rely on central Moscow's larger and more diverse food scene, roughly 20-40 minutes away by train, and should verify current options directly before arrival.

MIPT's main campus sits in Dolgoprudny, a satellite town on the northern edge of Moscow, about 20 minutes from central Moscow by suburban train. Since a 2016 reform the university is organised into nine Phystech Schools (including Applied Mathematics and Informatics, Radio Engineering and Computer Technology, Electronics/Photonics and Molecular Physics, Aerospace Technology, and Biological and Medical Physics), reflecting its founding 'Phystech System' of pairing students with active research scientists from year one. The campus has more than 80 state-of-the-art research laboratories, 13 student dormitories, a health clinic, a stadium and swimming pool, three-plus sport centres and over 20 on-campus food points. MIPT's own professors and alumni include 10 Nobel Prize winners (including founders Pyotr Kapitsa, Lev Landau and Nikolay Semyonov, and 2010 Physics laureates Andre Geim and Konstantin Novoselov), and 120 professors are full or corresponding members of the Russian Academy of Sciences. MIPT reports more than 36,000 alumni across 150-plus countries.

All foreign students in Russia must hold obligatory life and health insurance for the full period of study, obtainable through MIPT for roughly RUB 7,500-8,000 per year, and must carry the insurance policy at all times. New arrivals must register with MIPT's International Department within three days of arrival, and international students staying more than 90 days must complete mandatory fingerprinting, photography and a medical examination under Russian Federal Law No. 274-FZ. MIPT's campus has its own health clinic (polyclinic) for first aid and routine care. As with any international move, students should independently verify current travel-safety and consular guidance from their own government before and during their studies, since no university or catalogue can guarantee individual safety. MIPT's International Admissions Office and International Studies Office (ISO) support applicants through the invitation-letter, visa and registration process, with a Vice Rector for International Affairs overseeing international-student policy. Students needing additional academic-Russian or subject preparation can enrol in MIPT's optional Preparatory Programme (Russian language plus mathematics, physics and either informatics or chemistry, on-campus or online, RUB 200,000-300,000 for the year), which also includes a MIPT Buddy Club pairing new arrivals with current students. Outstanding applicants to full-degree Bachelor's, Master's and PhD programmes, including the Preparatory Programme, can apply once per academic level for a full Russian government scholarship covering all tuition fees, with applications opening each winter.
