The first-year students at Manipal University don’t get to choose their blocks. They are only given two choices namely B1/B2 and B7. B1 and B2 are the oldest blocks of the university and usually accommodate freshers. B7 on the other hand is the newest boys' block.

If you ever get the chance to choose one between the two, I would suggest choosing B7. This block has been constructed recently and has brand-new infrastructure and facilities. Moreover, this block is closest to the mess, the gym. It also has amazing sports facilities. 

So go for B7 unless you want to be under the guidance of your seniors. In that case, you can go for B1 or B2.

You should go for the B1 block and do not choose rooms that have a number of more than 377. Go for the first 76 rooms on any floor as the rest of the rooms are poorly constructed and do not have adequate facilities.

Make a choice between B1, B2, and B7 blocks. B1 and B2 are the oldest blocks and are vacated by the seniors before giving them to the freshers. B7 is the newest block for boys. This block is very good as it is newly constructed also it is much near to the mess, gyms and have got a lot of sports and recreational activities. If you want to be surrounded by seniors then you may choose B1 and B2 blocks. Each block has an individual caretaker and female hostel wardens. There are cameras and security guards in every corner of the campus.

You will be getting spacious rooms, centrally cooled AC attached washrooms as well. The wifi speed on the campus is not so good. There are dance clubs, green clubs, acting clubs and music clubs. The college conducts 3 fests in a year. Most of the students belong to the Delhi location.
