University hostel accommodation is available in Moscow, with room costs higher than regional Russian cities due to Moscow's overall cost base — expect approximately $250–400/month for a university hostel room. Some students in Years 2+ opt for shared private apartments in surrounding Moscow neighbourhoods, which can be comparable in price to university hostels at Moscow rates. Given the 2023 rebrand, prospective students should confirm current hostel allocation policy and pricing directly with the international admissions office rather than relying on older MGMSU-era published figures.

Moscow's large, well-established Indian community provides access to Indian grocery stores, restaurants, and informal mess services across the city, independent of any single university's own catering. The university itself does not appear to operate a dedicated on-campus Indian mess — students typically access Indian food through Moscow's broader Indian food network rather than a university-contracted service, which is a normal pattern for Moscow-based universities given the city's scale.

The university's central Moscow location gives students access to the same city infrastructure as RUDN and Sechenov — metro network, international airports (Sheremetyevo within roughly 45 minutes), an established Indian grocery and restaurant network, and the Indian Embassy. Moscow's density means clinical rotation sites are geographically distributed across the city rather than clustered around a single campus. The university's own campus houses medicine, dentistry, and pharmacy faculties together, giving students exposure to a broader range of health-science peers than a single-faculty medical institute. Following the December 2023 rebrand from MGMSU/Evdokimov to Russian University of Medicine, students should expect some administrative and branding transition (updated signage, documents, and website) to still be settling into its current form.

Moscow has Russia's highest standards of urban security infrastructure — extensive CCTV coverage, heavy police presence, well-lit streets, and strong emergency services. The Indian Embassy in Moscow provides direct consular support for enrolled students. Standard city-level precautions (as in any major capital) apply; the university's International Students Office can assist with police/migration registration and any safety-related coordination. The university's International Students Office handles admissions, visa support, and accommodation coordination. As a Moscow state medical university with three faculties (medicine, dentistry, pharmacy), it has reasonably well-resourced administrative systems, though the December 2023 name change means some processes, documents, and web materials may still reference the former MGMSU/Evdokimov name — students should double-check that any official document or NMC-facing paperwork correctly reflects the current 'Russian University of Medicine' name to avoid downstream recognition issues.
