Does NMIMS Mumbai provide hostel accommodation or residential facilities near the campus? What's the cost associated?

If you are considering staying at MKM Sanghavi hostel at NMIMS Mumbai, here are some important things you should know based on personal experience:

• Food: The mess facility is available, but it can be expensive at Rs 75 per thali. It is open from around 7:30 am to 10 pm, but breakfast is often not served on time. If you come back from college after 10 pm, you will need to order food from outside. Sharing a thali can be a good way to save money.
• Washing: There is a washing machine area on the first floor with around 7-8 machines, but only half of them work. With so many girls and only a few working machines, it can be challenging to wash your clothes. MBA students have erratic schedules, and they may not be able to use the washing machine when they want to.
• Water: There is a machine on every floor, but some girls prefer to buy their own Bisleri water because they have heard rumors of worms in the water from the machines. You only get hot water in your bathroom for a limited time each day, and it can take a while to get hot water. This can be inconvenient when you are busy with deadlines.
• Fridge: There is a fridge on every floor, and you can label your milk tetra packs with your name. If there is no fridge on your floor, you can ask the authorities to provide one.
• Curfew: The curfew is 11 pm, but you can enter later if you are coming back from college or placements. However, once you are in the hostel, you cannot leave after 11 pm. If you need to stay in the library to study, they will not let you out after curfew.
• Rooms: The rooms are spacious, with most being triple sharing and a few twin-sharing. The beds are single beds with box beds, and you get a study table and cupboard. Storage space is decent, but lighting is low, so many people use table lamps in addition to the light at the study table.
• Bathrooms: The bathrooms have been designed well, with three separate areas for the bath, toilet, and wash basin. Lighting is low, though, and some plug points may not work.
• Open drain: The biggest disadvantage of the hostel is the open drain behind the building, which leads to a lot of mosquitoes. The common area on each floor overlooks the drain, and some rooms have balconies that open to the drain.
