Men's Hostel Complex

This is actually not in the campus. It's located in the road leading upto Kumarapuram about 300 meters from the Medical College Junction. It comes after the Police station and the Deprtment of Physical Medicine. The complex consists of three buldings; MH1, 2 and 3. MH1 is the first one when you go from the Medical College. MH1 and and MH2 have double and triple rooms. MH3, which is the most recently constructed of the lot has even single rooms. The Warden also stays in a separate apartment just outside MH3.

The facilities are meagre in all the three hostels. There are TV rooms and reading rooms in all of the hostel buildings. There is even a indoor court inside the MH1. The bathroom facilities are not very good. And you will only get a table and cot when you move into a room. If your room is only adequately populated, you may get one of the cupboards built in to the wall. The mess is located in the MH2 building. The food is better than what's on offer at the Canteen. The menus are more extensive during the first two weeks of a month. If you don't like the food there there are a lot of restaurants on other side of the road in the front.

There is a gymnasium by the side of MH1. There is trainer who is maintained for helping us get accustomed to the routines. There is a basketball cart and a ground as well for sports and games. There is a garden in the front which is not maintained. There are some concrete benches spread out in the garden. It's fun to sit there and spend time evenings with friends and close pals. There are good bakeries, provision stores and internet cafes just across the road from the hostel. The most prominet ones are "Jayaram Bakers", "Raghunath Stores" and "Sam's Point".

Ladies Hostel Complex

This is located between the College Cricket Ground and The S. A. T. Hospital Complex. Like the Men's Hostel, the facilities are meagre. I really haven't been much into this place. So, I know very little about it. I'll update it whenever I get the information from my batchmates.

Men's House Surgeon's Quarters

This is located by the side of the Mortuary and is very close the MCH Hospital 16, 17 wards. There are two main buildings in here. MHSQ 1 and MHSQ 2. Both are smaller than the hostels. The rooms are single and double. The HSQ warden also lives here. The food is provided by the mess located there. This mess actually supplies snacks and refreshement for the Hospital Complex during the day. It also supplies food for the LHSQ. The HSQ is also a refuge for the PGs and all house surgeons as it is located very close to the main Hospital. Lot of house surgeons (who are days scholars) have their lunch at the HSQ because of it's proximity. There is a TV in the dining room.

Ladies' House Surgeon's Quarters

This is located inside the hospital by the side of the Ward 22. Because of this, lady HSes really get no privacy from the daily routines of the hospital. They cannot even talk aloud. The main advantage of this location is when there are calls from the patients in the ward. You can rush to the wards immediatel even if you are taking a nap. The food comes from the MHSQ.

The Men's PG Quarters

Located by the side of the library near the main building, this is actually a much cherished hostel. The facilities are better than at the other undergraduate hostels. The location is also good. It's away from the main road and the hospital complex. That makes it a good place to concentrate while studying. I've not been to this place too much, so I bid for more time to get this updated.
