TulSU provides dedicated hostel blocks for international students, typically 2-3 students per room, within a short commute of the Medical Institute's main teaching buildings. Rooms include centralized heating, 24/7 security with pass-controlled entry, and high-speed internet. Furnishing is standard (bed, desk, wardrobe per student) with shared kitchens and bathrooms per floor. Students who prefer private accommodation can rent a studio or shared flat in Tula at a lower cost than in Moscow or St. Petersburg, though this requires independent lease arrangements and is less common among first-year international students.

Tula is a family-oriented regional capital with a lower crime profile than Russia's largest cities. The university provides 24/7 security at dormitories with controlled entry, and works with local authorities on registration and safety matters for foreign students. As with any Russian regional city, students should complete mandatory migration registration promptly on arrival and keep documents accessible, since spot checks by local authorities are routine for foreign nationals. TulSU maintains a dedicated international student office that assists with visa registration, mandatory migration accounting, health insurance enrolment, and academic orientation for incoming medical students. Structured support for NExT/FMGE preparation is integrated into later years of the programme alongside standard coursework, though — unlike universities with larger, decades-old Indian cohorts — TulSU's peer-mentoring infrastructure for exam prep is comparatively less developed and newer students should expect to be more self-directed.
