Everyone needs a room, a shelter, and a space of one's own. As
you enter the admission circle in DU, there is one thing on your
mind, I am speaking about outstation students and the one's who
don't want to stay in their homes and are trying to break out from
the monotonous routine of homely milieu. North campus, being the
hub of all activity in Delhi university, everyone wants to get in
the carnivalesque mood and for that accommodation is an
indispensable factor.
College admissions are on, students are jumping around to get a
seat and what is important for the non capital students to get a
safe and sound place to stay in the fast and hard city. A popular
option would be to get into the college hostel but not everyone's
eligible as there is certain criteria related to percentages, a
separate cut off list, followed by an interview, assures you a room
in the college hostel. Not all DU colleges provide you with hostel
facility. But, no need to make yourself sweaty and tensed……
You have another hot option and that is if you don't get into
college hostel, you can turn around and find yourself a place
around campus is a good alternative.
There is a whole bunch of private hostels, rooms on rent and
apartments, which are there to suit your pocket. Accommodation has
never been as easy as girls have to dole out anywhere between 5,000
to 7,000 and you get a luxurious private hostel with food and
electricity included. Some hostels do have air conditioned rooms to
cool you, even gym facility and access to the internet is
provided.
Each room accommodates two girls, has study tables, beds and an
attached bathroom. The hostel also has a TV set on each floor for
the entertainment of students. You have wide variety to choose from
if you don't have a high budget as rooms are also available for Rs.
3,000 to 4,000. The girl's hostel has set up time deadlines for
girls to ensure their safety and CCTV's also help keeping an eye on
the girls.
If you don't want to be restricted by the hostel limits then rooms
on rent is an option for you. There are no confines but freedom
also comes with a price and for a furnished two-room apartment, you
will have to shed somewhere around Rs. 8,000 a month and single
rooms will cost you about Rs. 6,000.
For a fully furnished apartment, with a TV, refrigerator, bed and
gas stove will cost you around Rs. 10,000. Also, each flat can be
shared with two or three girls or guys. Best is the free entry and
exit policy.
The options are endless and you have to make your pick … so choose
wisely…
