BITS Pilani (Pilani Campus), Pilani - Hostel Details

BITS Pilani hostels are decent with basic amenities. I am attaching a few photos of the boys' hostel for reference. I assume the facilities and rooms of the girls' hostel are similar if not better.

This is the newly renovated hostel below

The rooms are spacious enough for 2 and all basic needs are taken care of at BITS Pilani hostels.

My friend shared her daily routine at BITS Pilani. She woke up at 7:30- 8 in the morning. She takes a bath and gets ready for breakfast. After a fulfilling meal, she looks up at her timetable and then proceeds to the classes. Inside the classes here you will find students. type. 

Lab sessions are interesting but here again, many students just come to pass their time. After classes, students take a short nap and wake up for snacks in the evening. 

In the evening students can be seen playing sports or hitting the gym. Soon it’s dinner time and students rush for mess registration. After dinner, students go to their rooms and play games or watch movies. Midnight cravings are catered to by the all-night canteen. In case there is a quiz the following day, all the students gather in a single room and prepare for the same.

Overall, the hostel life here is very relaxed and students get time to pursue their hobbies and interests. 

Here are a few pics of the BITS Pilani hostel and rooms

The above picture is that of a balcony inside a room. Here the wifi speed is at its best.

The hostel facilities are great and rooms allotted are usually double occupancy.

Freshers at BITS Pilani are usually given 3-4 days to explore the campus after hostel allotment and before classes commence. Here are a few things you should do if you are a fresher here

• Explore the campus instead of staying holed up in your room and meeting new people. You will make friends for life here so don’t hesitate from interacting with everyone around you.
• Initially, you won’t be able to go to the common rooms so instead you can spend time at Red Chillies, Ice and Spice, or the institute cafeteria if you're craving something tasty
• Once the classes begin, make sure to attend the lectures and tutorials.
• You can explore the beauty of Goa during weekends but refrain from involving yourself in alcohol.
• If you are tired of mess food you can order from Domino
• You can also stay in your room and install a DC++ client to browse and download all content on the DC servers.

So, as a fresher, there are several things to do at BITS Pilani Goa campus but personally, I feel you should focus most on socializing and strengthening your network.

BITS Pilani has excellent accommodation and campus facilities making it worth the high fees it charges. Here are a few highlights of the hostels here.
