Accommodation
Living On Campus
The University provides a wide range of floor plans. However, a one year contract has to be signed with the housing department and meal plan must be purchased at the cafeteria. Detailed information about the housing department can be found here.
Living Off Campus
Most students prefer to live off-campus; there are plenty of good apartments close
to the campus. Most of the apartments are equipped with a refrigerator, cooking
stove, oven, dishwasher and AC. Do not get any appliances from home as they do
not work here. Sharing apartments (2 to 4 in each) is a common practice.
