Indian Institute of Information Technology Sri City - [IIIT], Sri City - Hostel Details

You will definitely have a great time in Sri City and probably not feel like going back home after the amazing four years you will spend here. One of my friends has experienced the amazing campus life. He got really attached to this place. You will miss your friends and having fun at 3 am in the morning.

The IFMR canteen is one place where you will eat every possible thing on the menu and not attend classes. You will also end up taking a number of spontaneous trips. Even the small nitty-gritty like not being able to stay awake during class, running around for attendance will become so ingrained in your daily life that you will end up missing them. The teachers here are more like friends instead of professors. You will also miss the happiness of getting an unexpected holiday.

Your hostel room is going to be a place of great memories. It will witness breakups, patch-ups, and you at your best and worse. Sri City and the college will become your second home.

The early morning sunrises, evening strolls around the campus as well as the petrichor of the rain right after the blistering summer in May are things you will come to appreciate. While you might enter as a frightened fresher, you will be leaving as an experienced graduate. You will learn to become independent and will have gone through some of life’s toughest lessons.

In other words, you will come to love this place so much, you will definitely have tears in your eyes as you leave from here on your last day. Some of your best days will be from IIIT Sri City.

The hostel life at IIIT Sri City is very fun and interesting in its own way. Though the city has become a business hub with more than 185 companies in the vicinity, the campus of IIIT Sri City is located in an almost isolated area. 

There are three boys hostels and one girls hostel in the campus. Here are some of the perks you would enjoy while staying at the hostel –

• The campus is soothing, especially the evening walks. Being close to the beautiful Pulicat Lake, the sea breezes are simply awesome. A stroll through the night is simply refreshing.
• Playing your favorite sports at night is fun as well. Some students even enjoy playing basketball at 2 AM in the night.
• The best thing about hostel life are its group discussions. You will spend countless sleepless nights among your friends just chatting in the small rooms.
• Whenever you get bored of the regular mess food, you have many small and big restaurants to satisfy your appetite. Swati restaurant, Annapurna, Sunny, New City, Madras Café are some of the best places to hang out with your friends.
• And finally the random fun at hostels. You never know from where and when this might pop up, but this is the best thing about living at a hostel. The four years you will stay at your hostel, you will make more friends and memories than up until your life.

Of course there are some for whom a hostel may seem more like a jail, not getting out of their rooms. But these are few and you should definitely not want yourself to be among them. Just remember that these years will not come back to you and your hostel life will be significantly more enjoyable.
