There are quite a few stories regarding violence by the local students in SRM University Haryana. Many of these students harass others from other regions and bully them. They will take advantage of you being away from home. They are known to bang doors and walls but they do not stop if you ask them to and it is definitely an unpleasant experience. There have also been cases of public indecency and the warden or hostel in charge will only make them write an apology letter. As of now, they have been silenced due to incessant complaining but the harassment still continues sometimes. If you are not from North India, then do not think of coming to SRM University. The batch of 2018-19 was not good at all. Most of the students were ill-minded and perhaps from the goonish areas of Haryana. If you bring your parents for a visit, most of them will have positive responses as they do not want to be silenced after complaints but this is the current scenario here. My advice to you would be to think twice before you decide to take a seat here.
