For most of the students coming to college to experience living away from home for the first time, it can be tough deciding whether to live in hostels or off campus. Lovely Professional University provides numerous benefits to the students living inside its vast and beautiful campus. Here are some of them:
- Transport
While students living off campus are stuck in traffic or waiting for a bus, students residing inside the campus get extra minutes of sleep or spend that precious time doing something productive. With the academic blocks located at walk-able distance away from our hostels, reaching class is as swift as a breeze.
- Security
Whether it’s a classroom or the Unimall, you will find CCTV cameras everywhere and with over hundreds of security officials guarding our campus, you could sleep as snug as a bug without the fear of anyone breaking in.
- Expenses
The cost of renting a room off campus may be cheaper but the rent doesn’t cover additional bills such as gas, electricity and water. Add all of that up and it would nearly be equal to the cost of living on campus. Plus, when you’re living on campus, you get free room cleaning unlike when staying outside, which means you don’t have to hire anyone or flip a coin to see who’s turn it is to clean the room.
- Social Life
In a campus with events happening almost every day of the week, you would hate to hear about something you missed the very next day. Be it an overnight hackathon or dance practice until 11 p.m. you’ll be sure to take part in it without the thought of having to go home late and all alone.
- Resources
Medical care and counselors are available on campus 24/7 and are just a call away. The library being open until 12 a.m. gives you access to all the books you need to refer to submit that assignment of yours that’s due the very next day.
- Experience
Living on campus gives you a chance to meet students from different parts of the world and get to know their cultures. You’ll learn to adjust with people having different mindsets. Also, research shows that students living on campus are more satisfied with their college life and earn better grades.
You only get to experience college life once and what better way to do it than spending it with friends and making memories for a life time within the comfort of the campus. Besides, you’ll have to live off campus for the rest of your life once college is over, so what’s the rush?
