Personal comments
Not much of a surprise as my previous batch told me that its an expensive city so keep a check on your pocket. My tips to all vegetarians is , get the food from the market and cook at home. It gives you immense pleasure and also gets less on your pocket.

Final comments
Seek advice from anyone who has already pursued his studies in this university. Travel only in metros and avoid taxis unless there is no-other option. You will have lows at times but do not feel demotivated. Take up the challenege and i am sure, success is not far away from you.
