Life at MEPhI’s Obninsk campus  blends rigorous academics with a close-knit student community. Students focus on nuclear engineering, physics, and STEM research, often participating in hands-on lab work, internships, and projects with industry partners like Rosatom. The campus hosts clubs, cultural events, and student festivals, fostering social connections despite Obninsk being a smaller, quieter city. Career development is emphasized through workshops, networking events, and international programs. Students enjoy a safe environment, modern labs, and collaborative study spaces. While academics are intense, the supportive community and research opportunities make it an enriching experience.
