College Infrastructure

The campus to too small to even walk. There are a few cultural events on campus. The campus is so small that if you play loud music from your hostel, people from outside the campus complain about it to the police. Police has also visited the campus a few times. The place is far from the main parts of the city. In the evening you can go for a walk but don't expect clubs and cafes here. Trivandrum itself is a beautiful city, you can visit many places to visit here.
