Kazan Federal University lists exchange students’ default housing as the Universiade Village dormitory, in rooms for three or four people with one kitchen, one toilet and a shower. The university’s page quotes about 600 roubles a month, but labels the figure 2020/2021, so treat it as out of date. This note covers Kazan Federal University only.
Details come from Kazan Federal University’s accommodation and arrival page for exchange students, checked on 29 October 2026.

What I could not verify
I could not confirm current dormitory fees for Kazan, and I found no official pages for other Kazan universities. I have not quoted private rents or ranked districts. If you rent privately, view the room in person or on a live video call, get a written contract and never pay before you have one. Before you commit, read our guide to university halls versus private housing, the checklist of what to look for before you sign and our safety guide. For other Russian cities, see our guides to Nizhny Novgorod, Moscow and Yekaterinburg, or browse all student accommodation in Russia.
