Hostel rooms are available on a double- or triple-sharing basis, furnished with study tables, beds, wardrobes and cabinets, with a window view of the city of Nalchik. A laundry area is available, and heating is installed through nearly all rooms and common spaces to handle winter.
Mess & food for Indian students
Each floor has a shared kitchen with a microwave and induction stove for students who want to cook their own food. (Per-university Indian mess pricing isn't published on the site; many Russian universities run a paid Indian mess for about $100-150/month covering two meals a day - confirm availability and cost directly with the university.)
Visa process & support
After the university admission letter (issued in 3-4 weeks) and the Russian Ministry of Education's invitation letter (4-6 weeks), students apply for a student visa, normally ready in about 3 weeks. The consultant handles visa documentation and can arrange a travel package, currency exchange and pre-departure orientation, plus post-arrival support and a campus buddy once the student lands in Russia.
