hi,

Yes, your senior is mostly correct. At NIMHANS, girls' hostels usually have shared rooms, especially for first-year students. Single rooms are generally not given to new MPH students—they are mostly reserved for senior research scholars or PhD students. You will most likely have a double sharing room with a common bathroom. The hostel facilities are quite decent, the environment is safe, and you’ll have Wi-Fi, a study area, and a good mess.
