2. Facilities
   Wifi, housekeeping, laundry, and well prepared meals are the necessities for every student;s life. Doing laundry and cleaning the room can feel like a huge task when you are away from home, We understand managing studies, expenses and also keeping an active social life is not as easy as seems, So look for hostels where you do not need to worry about cleaning your room everyday and spending time on doing laundry. Check for amenities that the hostel offers before choosing any.

3. Twin room Vs a single room Vs a triple sharing room, does it matter?
   Every student has a different preference. Some may like to be with people all time, some may prefer their own space in the room. It totally depends on what kind of person you are. If you do not like to share your space with anyone, and want your own privacy then we suggest you go for single sharing. Opt for twin sharing or triple sharing if you are ready to adjust with your roommate, but having a roommate is always a fun experience in hostel life. Your roommate may turn into your best buddies for life.
4. Food
   While choosing a student hostel food is the most concerning topic. make sure you have  unlimited access to food  so you’re always full. quality control on food, sanitisation checks and measures should be there. Students do not have enough time to prepare meals for them, so it is best if you look for a hostel  which serves 3/4  course meals with a variety of cuisines.
