Hostel's Variety

Hostel's Variety

One of the greatest things about a hostel is its variety. Life anywhere is both exciting and routine, but at a hostel such as Weir, the exciting times outweigh the dull ones. Amusement is sometimes unexpected, as when we found a car parked inside the House foyer, surrounded by no-parking and detour signs early this year.

But the memories that we hold are also of the friendships, conceived here and carried on long after, Arguments and practical jokes, rugby games and coffee evenings—these are where these friendships are born. Of all the ties we make at University, the bonds of these friendships are the longest-lasting and the most rewarding.

The hostel helps to answer the problem that the new student finds in getting to know the University and settling into its way of life as quickly as possible. It is an integral part of the University, and as a result the atmosphere of the University is soon developed.

The fresher gets acquainted with a organization quickly, and this allows him to participate in Varsity functions right from the beginning of Orientation Week. He immediately forms a basis for his activities throughout the year.
