Hostels

The National Law School is a residential University with all its 500 odd students living on campus. For the many to whom this is their first time living away from home, hostel life offers many exciting experience. Residing on campus enables students to widen their horizon and acquire important inter-personal skills. The Hostel on campus is a miniature society. Here, one will meet people of very different backgrounds and personalities.

Contact with hostel-mates is much more intensive than that of the earlier contacts with school classmates. With more interaction comes greater need to adjust and accept, especially with the roommates. One needs to discuss issues of common interest with the roommates to sort out existing problems particularly when opinions are divided. One learns to be tactful and patient and learn to look at things from another person's perspective.

Participating in the management of the hostels also helps one to gain valuable organizational skills. There is really a lot to learn and hostel life forms an integral part of education at the National Law School . There are three Halls of Residence for men (the Ganga , the Kaveri and the Himalaya ) and three for women (the Nilgiris, Annexe and Mess Block). There is also a P.G. Women's Hostel. The Halls of Residence have their own student-managed Dining Hall and Kitchen, which serve vegetarian food on all days and non vegetarian food on designated days. Students of the I year are generally allotted dormitories.

From the second year, men have the option of triple seater rooms, which are T-shaped and once a curtain is drawn across the entrance, each cubicle becomes a private room. Women have a choice of twin seaters, in addition to the triple seater rooms. There are also a few single rooms available in both hostels. These are usually given to students in the final year. All rooms have a cot, cupboard, chair and desk. Students are advised to bring their own mattresses, curtains and bed-linen.

All hostels have 24 hour running hot water. Laundry facilities are also available on campus. All hostels have their own generator and hence there is an uninterrupted power supply. The Halls of Residence have a common room, each equipped with cable television, limited facilities for indoor games and a small in-house library. The Hostels also have Tea/Coffee vending machines.
