One of my friends is studying for a Ph.D. from NALSAR. As per her review, life there is busy, especially for youngsters. Classes go on till late, but the evenings are peaceful. The university has a beautiful campus with well-maintained gardens and wide roads. But it is far away from Hyderabad city. However, transport facilities are readily available.
Ph.D. students have hard luck. Being into research, they do not spend much time on campus. They work from remote locations. Overall, campus life is peaceful and ideal for academics.
