Hi,

According to the student's reviews, the hostel facilities in St  Joseph's  Degree and PG College is not at all good. There is a common bathroom and it is very dirty and unhygienic and it isn't cleaned for days. There are a lot of rats and pests which make it worse for the students to stay there and most of hostel smells bad due to the uncleaned bathrooms and the spiders all around. You should definitely re consider your choice of college and apart from that no, the hostel is not compulsory. It is your choice to choose college hostel as an option.

I hope this helps,

All the best
