Yes, each LPU hostel has multiple canteens, typically 2-3 canteens per building. This provides convenient access to meals throughout the day. Additionally, the LPU campus offers a variety of food courts, catering to diverse culinary preferences. This ensures you have options for dining to choose from.

I would give 4 out of 5 in terms of food quality offered in the hostel mess at LPU; the food quality is excellent, and we have a wide range of food of Indian Cuisine from north to south. Along with it, we also have continental and oriental cuisine at regular intervals of time.

LPU maintains separate boys' and girls' hostels. Security guards patrol the premises, so surprise visits are likely to be met. LPU prioritizes a safe and secure living environment for all students.

Safety is one of the top priorities at LPU. The hostels benefit from a comprehensive security system that includes: 

1. Extensive CCTV camera coverage: The campus is covered by cameras, keeping an eye on things around the clock. 
2. Security guards: Each hostel has a team of 5-6 security guards who provide a watchful presence on-site. 
3. Wardens: Wardens manage each hostel, ensuring the well-being of residents and addressing any concerns that may arise.

LPU housekeeping typically cleans rooms about four times a week. They may also ask if you'd like additional cleaning. This ensures your room stays fresh, though you can always request more cleanings. Additionally, the housekeeping team is friendly and helps with regularly cleaning the rooms and washrooms.

I have been a resident of the LPU hostel for the past year and can confirm the satisfactory conditions. Each room has two fans and three tube lights, ensuring a comfortable environment. Moreover, the rooms are designed to maximize natural lighting, with netted windows that allow sunlight. The hostel also provides attached washrooms, each equipped with geysers.

Each room has attached washroom facilities and facilities like geysers and the hostel authorities provide regular cleaning in each room.

No, not all LPU hostel rooms have built-in AC.

However, there's a good chance you'll have access to air conditioning. 

Here's why: 

1. Over half the rooms do have air conditioning facilities.
2. If your room doesn't have AC, the hostels provide coolers upon request. 
3. Additionally, each room comes with two fans to ensure air circulation.

The LPU housing department seems to prioritize student comfort by offering various cooling options to suit individual needs. If you have a strong preference for AC, you can inquire about availability during the application process.

Any student can reside outside the campus and not opt for the LPU hostel. It is up to the students to decide where they want to opt for the LPU hostel rooms. Approximately 20-30% of students choose to live off-campus, as they believe that the independence it offers is more beneficial. Some students are also day scholars. As an off-campus student, you can still access library and canteen facilities.

As there are a good number of hostels so, there are different types of occupancy rooms available according to the student's need; I am living in the double sharing rooms, but there are single occupancy rooms, triple and four sharing rooms too, according to the students but the charges vary from the type of occupancy they are opting for.
