Life at IIT Madras for a North Indian may be different from life at other colleges or universities in India, particularly for students who are from a different region of the country. However, IIT Madras is a diverse and inclusive community, and I am sure that North Indian students will find a welcoming and supportive environment there.

Additionally, IIT Madras offers a range of resources and support services to help students adjust to life on campus.

Food: Inside the campus, there are 5 South Indian messes, 3 North Indian messes, and 1 Jain mess. So food is plenty for students from every culture. However, the North Indian mess food may not be as per the taste, and thus many end up choosing South Indian which is much better. 

Outside the campus, eateries are limited to South Indian food mostly except Biryani and Fast food like Domino and KFC which are in plenty. 

Language: The language barrier exists only outside the campus. Inside, English and Hindi are enough to converse with peers and faculty.

Climate: The temperature and humidity are high here usually and might trouble many. But inside the campus, the greenery and tall trees block the sunlight and thus a cool climate can be observed.

IIT Madras authentically teaches University is Diversity and trust me no cultural difference will affect your amazing experience here.

My brother recently completed his graduation from IIT Roorkee and was all praise for the food served at the hostel mess. 

Breakfast: The breakfast served at IIT Roorkee’s Rajendra Bhavan comprises bread, jam every day, an option between egg and butter, and any item like Paratha, Maggi, pasta, or poha depending on the menu. Occasionally, sprouts, watermelon slices, and papaya pieces are also served.

Wednesday and Sunday night special meals are served, including Paneer Butter Masala or Chilli Paneer served with Gulab Jamun or Ice cream. On occasions like Dussehra, Naan, and Paneer curry are served.

Syracuse was once a thriving city and Syracuse University was once considered a “party school”. Things have dialed down in the recent decades and though it may not be the “mad party” school, it still hosts many fraternity and sorority parties. This being a private university, charges a higher fee which translates to a uniformity, both in terms of behavior and looks, among the students attending the school. The “political correctness” being enforced today across universities, has also taken a toll on this university.

The most happening places in Syracuse happen to be Walnut Avenue and Euclid Avenue. Walnut Avenue is known for its greek life while Euclid Avenue is known for house parties. Various sporting clubs, student organizations and sometimes students themselves organize house parties which may or may not be your taste.

The loads of classes are dependent on the major you are doing. The iSchool expects lots of co-op projects in the labs which take a significant chunk of your time. The Whitman School of Business will involve a lot many individual tasks, group tasks, meetings etc. The Newhouse School of Communication students work almost single handedly in the Armory Square building. They do lots of TV, radio work and sometimes work for straight 24 hours to meet deadlines.

In terms of sports, basketball is the most widely played and followed sport here. The Carrier Dome is the mecca for basketball lovers. The Chuck’s Café, Faegan’s Pub, Lucy’s Retired Surfer Bar are some other places to hang out with friends.

And finally talking about the weather, the winter is torturous. It receives the amount of snowfall which is higher than the national average. Along with the winter, it is the chilly winds which sometimes can take a toll on your health.

So all in all, the university is full of character and you will enjoy every bit of your life here.

We got to sit in our classroom even before our first lecture day. During our counseling, we had an interaction with our seniors in the classroom itself. 

On our second day at IISc Bangalore, we had a small discussion with the UG Deans, and then with the lab instructors.

On the first teaching day, close to 100 students were present in the Main Lecture Hall. It can occupy around 200 students and is air-conditioned. Our teacher made each of us introduce ourselves. She started the lecture with basic concepts. 

The thought of studying with the brightest minds in India delighted me and my first day of attending classes at IISc Bangalore went well.

This is an important question for medical aspirants.

As I joined VMMC, I had the same question in mind. After spending some time at this institution, I realized that it is a bittersweet experience. You’ll attend classes regularly, from 8 in the morning to 4 in the evening. On top of that, there are 2 hours of lab, and alternate tests. It does get exhausting after a while. 

In comparison to other DU medical colleges, the study load is not much. You will also get the advantage of an internal PG quota. VMMC is close to most of the markets- CP, Lajpat Nagar, Sarojini Nagar,etc. Also, there are affordable hangout places nearby. 

So, you will experience both good and challenging moments at VMMC. You’ll learn a lot from this institution, and grow into a skilled medical professional.

As a student, you can be assured that IIT Guwahati is good enough and it is up to you to perform well. Instead of focusing on what your college can do for you, shift your perspective and think about what you can do for your college. While IITG may not have as many resources as some other IITs like IITB, K, M, and D, it is still worth attending.

At IITG, you can benefit from some excellent professors, optimal resources for every student, good placement opportunities, as well as sports and cultural fests. Don't worry too much, and remember that with hard work, dedication, and effective use of your study time, you can achieve great success. Rather than relying solely on the IIT brand name, aim to make your own mark and make your college proud of your achievements.
