The hostel life is a lifetime experience and one must ensure that they choose the right place for the same. From the campus’s atmosphere to facilities, there are multifarious aspects one needs to consider when choosing to study at a college or university away from home. One of the finest examples of hostel life in the country is NAAC A+ Chandigarh University with its technology-enabled and cosmopolitan campus and hostel life. Here are the top 5 reasons why you should definitely live in a hostel at Chandigarh University:
- State-of-the-art Infrastructure & Facilities: In terms of infrastructure and facilities, Chandigarh University has been evaluated and awarded with an ‘A+’ by NAAC. The varsity has separate hostels for boys and girls, which incorporate modern facilities including well-furnished rooms, 24X7 Internet Connectivity, gymnasium, sports equipment & facilities, music room, common room with TV & cable facility, room for indoor games and a reading room with a collection of national/international newspapers, magazines, etc. Furthermore, each hostel in the university premises has technology integrated into every area, a fully equipped gym with separate courts for Volley Ball, Badminton and Basket Ball. From salon services to guest rooms, CU hostels incorporate every facility enabling smooth living.
- Diverse & Cosmopolitan campus: Apart from 306+ international tie-ups, Chandigarh University has students from over 40 countries across the globe and different states of the country. The majority of students coming from different places, cultures, ethnic backgrounds, etc. amplifies one’s exposure as students get the opportunity to meet people from completely different places. The varsity hostels incorporate cosmopolitan and an all-inclusive atmosphere with diversity on a display. In addition, the formation of different student clubs, such as “Club Dravida” formed by South Indian students or Hackoverflow Technical Society formed by technology enthusiast students, enable students to join like-minded individuals in nourishing ideas and pursuing collective goals.
- Food & Hygiene: Each hostel has an attached mess with modern seating and facilities. The food is prepared by qualified individuals who are also responsible for maintaining hygiene. The consistency in maintaining hygiene in each mess also relies on the concerned staff who are liable to ensure the same every day and before every meal. The food is prepared while following the requisite strict safety and hygiene guidelines while also keeping the homely taste intact. Apart from it, the menu changes every day ensuring that the residents don’t get stultified.
- Night Canteen & Tuck Shops: Chandigarh University is one of the very few educational institutions in the country to keep night canteen and tuck shops open 24 hours a day. The hostel life at CU pacifies one’s late-night food cravings with various delicacies and food items available throughout the night.
- Room allotment: The rooms for the residents in each hostel inside the campus are well-furnished with every necessary facility inculcated. The rooms are allotted as per the individual’s demand and different criteria have been drafted for the same. For instance, in case you’re applying for the hostel, you will find various options that enable you to reserve a single AC room for yourself or you can choose to share the room with your friend(s). The transparency in the allotment of the hostel is another positive point since most of the hostel residents come from distant places. Thus, the transparency and freedom to choose accommodation as per own convenience is pivotal in ensuring the smooth change from one place to another. It encourages the student in performing better at an entirely new place.
