How was your 1st day in LPU?

I completed my B.Tech from LPU in 2018. This is how my first day at the university went-

My hometown is located in Andhra Pradesh, so it took around 40 hours by train to reach the campus. It was quite tiring to travel such a long distance for the first time. I was accompanied by my mother and father. We were directed to the block 3 basement where I received my UMS details along with my hostel allotment details.

I reached my hostel by bus, and on my way there, I was impressed with the infrastructure of LPU. Upon reaching my hostel, I freshened up and took all my documents for verification. I also applied for my ID card. 

Then I and the other freshers were asked to sit in the Shanti Devi Mittal Auditorium for our induction ceremony. The auditorium was partly under construction at the time. We enjoyed cultural performances for a while, and then, Dr. Lovi Raj Gupta (Dean, LFTS) and Ms. Rashmi Mittal ( Pro Chancellor) gave their speeches. I was highly impressed with the personality and mannerisms of Mittal ma’am.

Later in the day, we had dinner in the mess, after which my parents left for home. That night I lay in bed with a bit of anxiety about what was next to come. 

But as I write this answer after so many years, I can only thank LPU for all the good experiences and opportunities.
