STUDENT INTERVIEW: JOURNEY IN MEDICINE AT MRSU

Today we’re sharing the experience of a 3rd-year General Medicine student, Chaubey Saumya, who talks about her journey, choices, and life as an international student in Russia. From a young age, she felt drawn to healthcare, inspired by a close family influence that guided her toward medicine.

Why General Medicine?
«I chose General Medicine because I’ve always been passionate about helping people through healthcare. My uncle has been my inspiration since childhood.»

Why Russia & MRSU?
«I chose Russia for its world-class medical education, strong focus on practical skills and research. My university stood out because of its modern facilities, experienced faculty, and strong support for international students.»

Life at university & in the city
«What I like most is how welcoming and supportive everything is. Teachers and students make you feel comfortable and motivated to grow. I also really appreciate how open people are toward Indian culture. It’s a great balance—focused studies and a chance to experience a new culture.»

Message to international students
«My advice is to stay open to new experiences and don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone. Connect with people from different cultures and take part in university activities. I wish everyone achieves their goals and creates meaningful memories along the way.»
