Well, let’s start off with the most obvious points first, and then move on to lesser known ones-
- Manipal University has produced some very skilled and reputed alumni like Rajeev Suri, Banmali Agarwala, Vikas Khanna, who are not only doing their country proud at various international fora, but also their alma mater, which shows the culture of the University and the city in general.
- Manipal University is ranked amongst the best private university in India and in Asia as well, so the quality of education offered and the environment is hard to find in most other places.
- The crowd in the city of Manipal is very diverse. Not only do students from all over India come here to study, we even have students coming over from countries like China and Malaysia, along with NRIs. So there is so much international exposure and interaction that is also very hard to find in other cities.
- Unlike cities where major IITs and NITs are based, the city of Manipal is a hub of college students. The vast majority is that of college-going students, so that lively, vibrant atmosphere is everywhere in the city.
- The city of Manipal is small but it has a spirit like no other place does. Countless restaurants, posh hotels, night clubs, and the option of staying outside the hostels offered on campus at expensive but nit unreasonable rates to fully soak up the energy is unmatched.
