HOUSING
by ARAVIND, JAWAHARLAL NEHRU TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY, HYDERABAD, India
Engineering, Electrical, Independent
Personal assessment
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why? IT VERY CONVIENIENT TO STAY ON CAMPUS. IT IS LOCATED CLOSE TO THE UNIVERSITY, SHOPPING CENTRE, PUBS AND ALSO OHTER CENTERS.
Personal comments:
HOUSING IS VERY GOOD. ALL THE FACILITIES ARE PROVIDED. BUT IT WOULD BE EVEN BETTER IF COST IS REDUCED A LITTLE. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
