The Ethiraj College hostel offers accommodations for both undergraduate and postgraduate students within the college premises, comprising four blocks with 154 rooms, accommodating around 561 students. Initially started for 169 individuals, the facility has expanded to support both Indian and international students, including NRIs. There are two blocks for UG and one for PG students. The hostel provides amenities such as WiFi, a gym, reading and recreation rooms, and a dining hall with modern kitchen facilities.
It is equipped with security features like cameras and has a full-time doctor available, with access to nearby hospitals for emergencies. The occupancy is on a first-come, first-serve basis with significant demand, leading to competition for limited seats. Rooms are typically shared by 2-3 students, and the annual expenses range from Rs. 20,000 to Rs. 72,000. The food, primarily vegetarian, is rated above average, with a mess bill paid monthly.
The application process involves an application fee of Rs. 500, admission fee of Rs. 500, a caution deposit of Rs. 3,000, and establishment fees of Rs. 28,000. Despite some reports of strict discipline and water scarcity, the hostel is considered safe and well-maintained, providing a conducive environment for students.
