PskovSU has 12 student dormitories with a combined capacity of 3,123 students — among the largest hostel infrastructure of any regional Russian university, spread across the university's various faculties (not exclusive to medical students). International students are typically allocated to blocks with 24-hour security and duty staff. Hostel cost is approximately 12,000–16,000 rubles/year (₹11,000–15,000/year) for a shared dormitory room; students who prefer more privacy can look at shared private apartments in Pskov, though the city's rental market is thinner than in Moscow or St. Petersburg. Rooms are typically double or triple occupancy with central heating and standard furniture. The proximity to EU borders means the dormitories also house students from Baltic and Eastern European countries, creating a more internationally diverse residential environment than typical Russian university hostels.

Pskov is one of the safest cities in Russia's Northwest, with low reported crime relative to its size. The university provides 24/7 hostel security and orientation covering visa/registration compliance, though as a relatively young medical institute, PskovSU's international-student support infrastructure is less battle-tested than at universities with decades of Indian-student enrollment. Emergency services and city police are readily accessible; the nearest Indian consular facilities are in St. Petersburg, roughly 3 hours away by road or rail. Students and parents should also be aware that Pskov's location at the tri-border zone with Estonia and Latvia places it in a geopolitically sensitive area, and should monitor official Indian government travel advisories for the region as a standard precaution. PskovSU's International Students Office manages visa support, police/migration registration, airport arrival coordination, and hostel allocation for the university as a whole (not a medical-specific office, since the medical institute is one part of a larger multi-faculty university). Staff communicate in English for core administrative processes. The St. Petersburg Indian consular facilities are accessible in about 3 hours by bus or train. A small Indian student community organises informal peer support and cultural events, though it is materially smaller than the peer networks at longer-established Russian medical universities — students considering PskovSU should factor in a thinner senior-student support network when weighing this option, particularly given the medical institute only began instruction in 2018.
