How would you describe the girls hostel of Fergusson College Pune What are the other options for a place to live for a student who isnt from Pune?

I would suggest you live in a PG or a flat with roommates if comfortable. The hostel isn’t worth living and it’s better to live outside if you want to enjoy your college life. 

• The hostel imposes strict time restrictions. The in-time is 8:30 which is too early
• You can only use mobile phones but you have to pay extra charges to keep the laptop.
• You will always have to get the signatures of your local guardian for leave applications. Otherwise, you cannot go home without permission.
• There are issues with the water supply in the hostel
• You will not be allowed to invite your friends to the hostel rooms.

There are a lot of PG and hostels near to the college at reasonable prices. You can go for it. Unless you are okay with living in a super strict environment with a curfew then you will do fine in the hostel at Fergusson College.
