With time, number of courses and students have increased but as the college is around 100 years old and is situated in the main city. It has very less space to increase the number of hostels, so not all students get hostel facility but there are many flats and pg around.

Honest Review

Clean Washrooms, good rooms, 24hrs electricity, wifi and meal quality is good people from north might struggle initially but everything is overall good. Some room for improvement also persist, registration for hostel is simple first preference is given to minorities then the general category people who have income less than 200000 per annum. Affordability is super cheap looking at the rent rates outside campus.

Student Snaps:

Hostel facility is limited. They don't have Hostel facilities for every student of the college.It is basically allotted on Income basis. Rooms have basic things such as a bed, a table and a chair and a common bathroom. Every room has to be shared by four person. There is a dire need to improve the bed quality and size. Dining Hall provides quality food which will sometimes tasty, sometimes not. Hostel charges 18000 per Semester Dining Hall charges based on expenses but we have to pay 20000 as prepayment

Ishani's Review On TISS Tata Institute Of Social Sciences, Mumbai

Yes. Rooms are not very spacious. But if you are from Mumbai, you ll not complain about it. One gets options of twin sharing, four sharing room and 6/8 sharing halls. We had common washrooms, well maintained and sufficient for everyone on floor. We could use machines for laundry once a week. Water was never and issue, we had windows for ventilation, rooms were well light and had enough extension points. Pgs around the college were 3 times costlier than hostel, but had lesser restrictions in terms of in-time and facilities such as ac.

Anonymous's Review On TISS Tata Institute Of Social Sciences, Mumbai

The campus is 100% residential and boys and girls have separate hostels inside the campus. In the first year, the boys have to adjust to a fabricated hostel which becomes irresistible hot in summer. Besides, the all-time electricity and water facilities are available. Though the region is a water scarce, that's why there's some water scarcity in the summer days. From the second year onwards and for all the girls, the hostel facilities are very good. Four three storied large buildings are there for the hostels, with all state-of-the-art facilities.

7 out of 10. For the boys who have been shifted to the campus and have a permanent hostel the facilities are good. The girls as of yet haven't been shifted to the campus, as the infrastructure isn't complete and are living in a leased building, the facilities are doable.

Moved out with a perspective.

9/10 hostel are very spacious and the new campus hostel is really good and sometimes you also get a chance to see Bollywood stars on the lane connecting old campus to new campus as the kAPOOR'S BUNGALOW is located next to TISS campus. Institute has a good infrastructure, though there were lot of complains regarding accommodating on campus. Currently tiss accomodates all the students inside campus.
