How's hostel life at NMIMS Mumbai?

If you are planning to stay at the MKM Sanghavi hostel, here are some things you need to keep in mind:

• Food: The mess facility available charges Rs75 per thali, which can be expensive if you don't have someone to share it with. The mess is open from 7:30 am to 10 pm, but the breakfast is often served late. If you come back to the hostel after 10 pm, you will need to order food from outside.
• Washing: The washing machine area on the first floor has only a few machines that work. With a hostel of 100 girls, it can be difficult to wash your clothes, especially on Sundays. Additionally, if you have erratic timings, it may be challenging to do your laundry.
• Water: Although there is a machine on every floor, most girls prefer to order their own Bisleri water as rumors say that there have been worms in the pumped water. Also, hot water is available for a limited time period and often takes a long time to fill up.
• Fridge: There is a fridge on every floor where you can keep your milk tetra packs with your name on them. However, some floors may not have a fridge, and you will need to ask the authorities to install one.
• Curfew: The curfew is at 11 pm, but you can still enter the hostel after that time. However, you cannot leave the hostel after 11 pm. During exams and placements, people may stay in the library or other areas until late, and the hostel will allow them to enter.
• Rooms: The rooms are spacious and big, with most of them being three-sharing and a few being twin-sharing. All beds are single beds with box beds, and you get a study table and a cupboard. Lighting in the rooms is inadequate, and you may need to use table lamps.
• Bathrooms: The bathrooms are well-maintained, with separate areas for bathing, toilets, and wash basins. However, the lighting is not sufficient, and the plug points may not work.
• Open drain: The hostel has a large open water drain behind it that leads to a lot of mosquitoes in the hostel. The common area on each floor overlooks the drain, and if you have a room with a balcony, it may open to the drain.
