Final Advice for Freshers
Before you pay for any lodge, visit the area yourself or go with someone you trust. Confirm the distance to your campus, water availability, electricity, security, road condition and the full cost of the lodge. Do not rush because a landlord or agent says there is only one space left.
You are free to stay farther away if you prefer a different location, have family around there or find a better lodge. The locations listed above are only the closest and most convenient places to consider based on your faculty and department.
