Student Snaps:

Hostel Facilities:

I stay in the college hostel itself. It is newly built and much better when compared to other hostels in the university. The hostel rooms are well arranged and comfortable. Each room has a bed frame, a cupboard, a table, a chair, and charging ports. The rooms are neat and have enough space for daily use. The washrooms are clean and well maintained. Safe drinking water is provided through a water purifier. Lift facility is also available, which is very helpful. Overall cleanliness of the hostel is good and hygienic. The quality of food is medium. Chicken and egg are served twice a week. Regular South Indian food is provided for meals. Rasam, pappad, pickle, and curd are available every day. For breakfast, dosa, idli, poori, and bread are given. Chapathi is served for both lunch and dinner. After completing the admission process, we can apply for hostel stay. We need to fill out a form and make the payment. After that, the hostel staff allots the room. Different room options are available such as dormitory, three share rooms, and two share rooms. Overall, the hostel provides good facilities and a comfortable living environment.

Pondicherry University's Review

Hostel Facilities:

Hostel are very clean. The cleaners will come 4 days per week. They will clean every corner of the hostel. The allocated rooms are our respomsibility. We have to keep it clean. The mess food is good. But sometimes we dont like the menu and the taste of that food. We can take any pg near to our university. PG and rental homes also available near to our university.

Pondicherry University: 2 Answered Questions

How is the hostel in Pondicherry University for girls?

Kavita MurthyMaster of Business Administration Degrees & Marketing,Pondicherry University (2020)

There are five hostels for women at Pondicherry University. Some are old and some are new. The quality, facilities, standards, décor, etc depends on whether you are getting the new hostels or the old ones. The old ones are being repaired, however, and new hostels for women will be constructed soon. The condition and facilities vary depending on the location of the rooms in a particular hostel.

You will get rooms that will accommodate two or three students including you. You will get utilities like a table, cupboard, bed, fans, etc. Apart from these, you will also get unlimited wifi connection, an area for washing and drying clothes, and drinking water facilities. You can address your grievances to the administrative staff and the office of the warden.

How are the hostels at Pondicherry University?

ABHINAV M

Rooms are shared by two people, and have a cupboard for each person. The warden visit the hostel like once in a blue moon. Registration process for hostel was very easy and all , I don't even remember doing it. The meal quality was not upto the standard. Sometimes it's good , sometimes it's crap. We get non-veg biryani every Sunday and that's a relief and also chicken curry every Thursday. The meals are atleast not same everyday that's a relief.
