How is life at Amrita University Coimbatore?

I have a friend who attended Amrita University and here’s what he had to say about life at the campus.

Academic Life:

• The course curriculum is great and the standards can be even compared to IIT.
• The faculty are knowledgeable and will help you with everything. However, self-study, your efforts, and participation in events and competitions, etc. will teach you so much more.
• The labs are great and have all the necessary equipment. They also allow you to use the labs after academic hours with due permission.
• The library is huge and they also have many online subscriptions.
• The exams come pretty fast. But if you practice daily and prepare with proper strategy, then exams become quite easy.

Campus life:

• The campus has three academic blocks (AB1, AB2, and AB3) and one business block (MBA).
• The campus is beautiful and covered with greenery.
• The campus has three major and four minor canteens. The bigger canteens are in AB1, in between AB2 and AB3, and one in the MBA block. There are also four minor canteens.
• The institute hosts a three-day tech fest called Anokha, each year in February. The college also hosts other festivals such as Adaviya, a theatre fest, and so on.

Hostel life:

• The rooms are better than many other colleges in the vicinity. The rooms are shared by four persons till the third year and only in the final year, you will get a single sharing room.
• The hostels have their own gyms, open ground, canteens, and an Olympic size swimming pool. The food quality is average.

The weekdays go in a blur from waking up in a hurry, rushing to the class with breakfast in hand, attending 4 classes, lunch break to the sleepy classes after lunch. In the evening you can hang out on campus, play some sport or take long walks.

On weekends, students usually go out to the city to catch a movie or some even go home. Life is good at the campus, you will be busy with many activities.
