In as much as I'm willing to answer any questions and be as helpful as I can, I really do not want to turn this thread into a question and answer or Russian visa enquiry thread, there is already a thread for that from a few years back on the travel section but if you must ask, I'd also prefer you guys post any questions you have on here instead of mailing me privately, if it's something I can answer, I'll answer it on here so it would also serve as reference and help other prospective students. I'll try and post the link of the other thread if I find it again cos it helped me.



I haven't really been here long enough to know this but I think getting Estonia visa here is the easiest and fastest and getting other European country visa is easier than from Nigeria as long as you have the necessary docs.



Most Nigerians studying medicine are in Siberia and other far cities and I'm new and haven't been able to get acquainted with them but will def try and reach out to them and get a contact for you.


Like I said earlier, jobs are not readily available and combining study and work is very difficult but it can be done and people are doing it. About RP, No idea yet, I just arrived here recently I never tey for here so I never know all these things.


I assume you'd be shooting mostly landscapes and people right? I'll recommend an entry level dslr Nikon D5200 with the 18-55 kit lens and the 50mm 1.8 prime lens would be perfect for landscapes(kit lens) and getting beautiful bokeh when shooting people (50mm) The combo would set you back under $400

The Camera I'm using right now is a 6 year old Canon 7D, before that I used the D5100 and I will strongly recommend the Nikon D5200 if you are on a budget and the D7300 with the lens I mentioned if you are not on a budget. If money no be problem lol then go for a full frame the Canon 5d mark IV and the 24-70 f2.8 mark ii is every serious photographers dream combo for all round shooting (landscapes, portraits etc.)
Can you gift me the bolded, I'm salivating to own a DSLR camera, i find solace in photography but per being a student (100level) i cant seem to get fund to purchase one.

Hi bro, sorry for my late reply. You have to leave Russia (I assume you have already) then apply to your preferred university, after you've been admitted, your school will send you an invitation, and you'd proceed to the embassy for visa.

Good evening my people! First I want to ask you guys to forgive any grammatical errors or mistakes you will encounter in this post. I think I’ve lost my writing flair, I had a very difficult time juggling my exams, handling the world cup business and some other engagements, and these affected me physically and mentally and also affected my writing flair, so please forgive me in advance for any errors.

Also, I'm sorry for the lack of updates, I know promised I would be actively involved in my thread after the world cup, and I'm genuinely sorry I did not keep up that promise, you guys should forgive me please.
The lack of updates is not because I forgot about you guys, I got really busy and I’ve not been able to get myself to write.
One of the most crucial thing about studying abroad is to know how to manage your time.
Like I said in the past, we all think we have time to while away or engage in frivolities, but a time would come in your life, when you'd realize, the importance of every second and how you have to make it count.

It's so easy to get distracted, to get lost in Social media, Netflix etc. You want to go to IG or Snapchat or Twitter for a second and before you know it, you're down in that internet rabbit hole and you've spent 3 hours, and these are hours and minutes you can't get back, time that you would have used to do something more productive. Don't get me wrong guys, I use social media as well, but I try to minimize the amount of time I spend on these apps because it's so easy to get lost in the rabbit hole called the Internet.

Even though I don't know many of you on a personal level, I think about you guys and my thread often. I might be in the metro sometimes, and I'd remember there are people waiting for me to update my thread, I really wish I'd be able to update my thread more frequently.
I want you guys to know I appreciate each and everyone of you who visit and read my thread, I know how important this thread is for so many of you, I remember before I left Nigeria, I usually frequent the travel section of nairaland, and I religiously read all the travel diaries, and the threads and stories on here encouraged me to start my own journey of seeking a better life abroad, so I understand how important threads like this are for so many people, and I will do my best to keep updating my thread. Hope can be dangerous, but sometimes, hope; no matter how little, it's all we have, and it is hope that keeps us going. So if there is someone out there, hoping, dreaming and praying to God for an opportunity to go abroad, for study or work, basically seeking a better life, I want you to know one day, your prayers will be answered.

Now back to what I’ve been up to these past few weeks.

Summer18
The World Cup has come and gone, and it was the best thing to happen to the people of Russia. It was an all round success, for the Government and for the people as well.
There were no major incidents, it was smooth and the positivity and love it brought with it still lingers.
The one month the World Cup lasted was like a big celebration of happiness, Russians welcomed everyone with opens arms, the hospitality for visiting fans were nothing short of amazing.
The World Cup, brought unity, love and happiness. No matter where you are from, the color of your skin, or our language. football united everyone. From streets of Lubyanka, to the Fan Zone center at Vorobyovy Gory (Sparrow Hills), to luznhiki stadium it was all round love and a celebration of happiness.

Personally, my World Cup Buddy Business didn't do as well as I expected, I was inexperienced with handling a project of such nature and I made so many mistakes along the line.
I underestimated what running something like that would take, and I made so many regrettable mistakes.
I accepted too many sign ups. I accepted more people than I could handle and I got overwhelmed and the whole thing became a nightmare.
I was able to resolve most of the issues I had but it meant spending more money than I initially budgeted for. I'm just happy they were very understanding about the whole situation and it’s behind us right now.


Summer Holidays!
Besides the issues I had with my world cup buddy business, this summer has been good to me.
B and her parents invited me to their summer holiday trip. B’s vacation from work started towards the end of June and that's when she and her parents started their summer holidays, they first flew to Krasnodar, then Sochi.

I could not join them immediately because I still had exams and my world cup business to run. Immediately after my exams and the all guests that came through my business had returned to Nigeria, I told B was ready and her mom sent me my electronic flight ticket to join them in Sochi.

I packed and left for Sochi, B's mom already planned all the activities and trips we would be taking during the holidays.
They rented a big apartment, B and I had one room, their Grand Ma who is staying with them for the summer had her own room and the parents had the 3rd room.

I arrived Sochi airport around 11pm, B was already waiting for me at the airport, she wore a beautiful green dress and she looked so effortlessly beautiful.
Immediately I exited the arrival lounge, B ran towards me, we hugged and kissed; I really missed her because we have not seen each other for a few days. We called yandex taxi and went home and that was the start of the summer holidays.

Sochi is one of the most beautiful cities in Russia, with beautiful beaches and really nice tourist attractions.
We spent 10 days in Sochi and everyday we went on one adventure or the other, B's mom meticulously planned all the activities and we had the moments of our life.
The 10 days I spent with B’s family was unforgettable, it's the best holiday of my life.

Sochi is a very hot city, the climate is like that of Nigeria, very hot summer, lots of rainy days and even during the winter, Sochi is still warm and it rarely snows in Sochi.
The first thing you notice immediately you arrive Sochi, is how different the city feels, the mood is more relaxed and it feels like a city that is constantly partying, Sochi does not feel like a city to me, but feels like been invited into a very big unending party.
The population of the city is around 300,000 and everyone there is mostly a tourist. I think it’s the only city in Russia with a beach and it’s warm enough for people to swim and rest at the beach side.
I really cannot find enough words to describe how amazing this city is so I’ll just proceed and post pictures. But one thing is for sure; Sochi is a city after my heart.

B’s mom already planned out all the activities we would engage in Sochi so every morning during breakfast, she’d tell us the plan for the day and we’d proceed.

We visited so many lovely places and I can’t remember the names of all the places so I’ll write the ones I can remember.

Our first activity in Sochi was a cruise ship trip across the black sea; we sailed into the black sea, aboard the Дагомыс.
I really don’t know how to describe this but it was an experience of a lifetime.
We all boarded the Дагомыс and sailed into the black sea, beautiful sunset and great views of the surrounding mountains. It was really magical and I honestly don’t have the words to describe the feeling.

To experience such beautiful moments with someone you really love also makes everything even more special. B sat next to me, while her parents and Grandma were also seated in the same row with us. It was a memorable evening.

There is something I have noticed about love, when you love someone, you always want to experience and feel everything with them, sometimes, memories are all we all we will have left so it’s always good to live your best life and experience and create amazing, unforgettable memories with your loved ones.

The following day, we went on our first road trip, the whole day, morning to evening was spent on the road visiting so many amazing places.
We started with Krasnaya Polyana Mountain Cluster, and then we visited Roza Khutor, a ski resort in Sochi. Then Riviera, we visited all the beautiful and historical places in Sochi during the road trip.

On our way back, we went to The Singing Fountains, the Singing Fountain in Sochi is this magical place just beside the Fisht Olympic stadium, the fountain sings all types of classical music, and people and their loved ones just hold hands, sit, lie down and enjoy the fountain and its music. It was amazing.

The next day, we went on another road trip to a country near Russia called Abkhazia, the country is situated on the coast of the black sea between Russia and Georgia.

We spent hours driving to the country and when we arrived, our tour guide joined us and took us around the beautiful country.
Abkhazia is a very small country of about 200,000, that day was the first I heard a country called Abkhazia, probably because it’s only recognized by only Russia and a few other countries.
The country is beautiful nonetheless and they were all fascinated to see a black man, I received lots of gifts from people living in the country and people kept asking to take photos with me, which I always obliged.
We literary visited all the tourist attractions in Abkhazia, we also went wine tasting because Abkhazia also produces very fine wine and vodka.
Some of the places we visited in Abkhazia are the Waterfall of Lovers, Alpine meadows of Abkhazia, Lake Rica etc.
Lake Rica is surrounded by beautiful green mountains, which results in the best views one can ever imagine, it’s truly a beautiful place. We continued on similar adventurers everyday for 10 days, and honestly, I can never forget this summer holiday with B and her family.
On our final night in Sochi, B’s dad took us to a nightclub a few meters away from the beach. We had cocktails and Hennessey and danced all night. B’s dad looks very young and people were confused as to who her boyfriend is, I’m sure none of the people in the club thought he was her dad, and we intentionally made things difficult for them because one minute she is dancing with her dad and the next, she is dancing and kissing me and that confused so many people hahhhaha.

Around 5am, we left the club and the 3 of us went to the beach straight from the club, and we all decided to swim and bath for a few minutes. I really don’t know how to describe this moment but it’s such an unforgettable moment for me, we all jumped into the black sea by 5am and had a swim and played games till we got tired and went home.
That was our last day in Sochi and in the afternoon, we all packed our bags and went to the airport for our flight back to Moscow.

Whew! So that’s how my summer holidays went. The summer isn’t over but for me the holiday is over because I have to work, I did not make enough money from my world cup business so I have to work to save money before school starts in 3 weeks time.
Right now, I’m working on some web dev projects, a friend of mine from Iran gave me some web design jobs which I hope to finish and make some money from before school starts, right now, that’s what I’m dedicating all my time to, so I will be a bit busy till I’m done and then I will know my next step. Here are some pictures from my summer holiday trip with B and her family.

First picture is B and I with her dad, 2nd pic is B and I with her mom and Grandma, then B and I aboard the Дагомыс and then me and some kids playing football at the beach in Sochi.

Good morning guys. I often get emails from people who want information about the admission procedure in Russian universities. I've talked about this in the past and I gave comprehensive details about the admission process and visa application but let me touch on it again.

Like I tell everyone, you do not need an agent to do this for you, the process is very transparent and you can do it yourself. I did mine myself without agents and you can do it too.

Right now, admission has started in every university in Russia, admission procedure varies from one university to the other so I’ll recommend every prospective Master or Bachelor's Degree seeking student visit https://www.bachelorsportal.com/ and https://www.mastersportal.com/ and then search for their desired course while ticking Russian as destination country. Visit the school’s website and then get all the information they need.
The name of my university is National Research University Higher School Of Economics Moscow. My school also has campuses in St Petersburg, Perm and Nizhny Novgorod.
Admission into Russian universities are transparent and open to everyone and tuition feee is always around $1500 to $10,000 depends on the school, state and language of instruction. Studying in Russian language is always cheaper than studying in English, but first you need to learn Russian language for one year in the preparatory department.

My schools website is https://www.hse.ru/ in my university getting admission into Masters program is easier than Bachelors, admission into bachelors degree programs requires a compulsory entrance test in Mathematics, Physics and English or Russian language, depends on the program. I don't think the Masters degree programs require any further entrance test just your BSc result and transcript.

There are also scholarship opportunities for all programs from the Russian Government and each university also offer discounts to best performing students.

For prospective Bachelor's degree students, you need to write an entrance exam so prepare for this. Also note that to study in Russia you first need to go to Ministry of Education in Abuja and certify your WAEC result and your BSC cert if you are going for masters, then proceed to Ministry of Foreign affairs to Legalize the waec and bsc and you also need to legalize those documents at the Russian embassy in Abuja before applying for visa.


The process isn’t as hard as you might think so don’t fall victim to agents who will charge you exorbitant rates to do this for you, as long as you’re not lazy, all the information you need is available online before you ask anyone questions, just go to google and search or go directly to the schools website or send an email to the school and they will reply you. You can process everything yourself.

All the best to everyone applying.

Most of the medical universities require the services of an Agent.The universities have accredited admission agencies who recruit students for them.If applicants/prospective students send their documents/apply through the universities they will forward them to their accredited admission agencies,who would then contact the applicants/prospective students.Honestly,some of the agencies,especially those in Nigeria charge ridiculous amounts as their fees.I remember in 2014,i paid $200 to an agent in Lagos for admission letter that I later discovered was issued free of charge if your application has been accepted.By the grace of God,I will be in Moscow this November as a student of pirogov National research medical university.I will start paying my fees,in the next few days.The only accredited agency for Pirogov National research medical university for this year is edugain overseas.I have decided that i must leave for Moscow this year,i have wasted too many resources on invitation letters in the past without honouring them,due to my engagements here in Nigeria.I don pursue money too much,this year by the grace of God I must be in Moscow to study general Medicine.others can share their personal experiences.
