As a student of BHU my friend shared some of the most useful tips for first-year students:
Make the best use of Central Library for reading in silence.
Have cold coffee/South Indian foods at VT.
Build a trusting relationship with your teachers. This will go a long way. The teachers here appreciate every little gesture so getting in their good books won’t hurt.
You can have Chai/ cold drinks at Lanka Gate 24x7.
Utilize campus facilities to the maximum extent
Follow practice sessions and be timely with your records. It will provide you with extra marks.
Varanasi is the city of Ghats so don’t forget to indulge in their beauty in your leisure time.
