SRM University is notoriously famous for its exorbitantly priced hostels. Some of them are sub par normal living conditions.
In a typical hostel room, each student is provided with a wooden/steel cot, a cupboard, a study table and a chair. Beyond which, everything else is to be borne by oneself. As a fresher, you will have to carry the following items along with you.
- Clothes – SRM does not have any kind of dress code expect a rule that one must not wear round neck tee shirts to classes. Apart from that, any thing is fine. Chennai has a reputation for having a very humid climate. Try to avoid bringing any kind of sweaters or any woolen items. During the holiday visits back home ( during dussehra), you can bring them along with you. Do bring some sports wear, in case you do play. SRM has full fledged tennis, badminton, football, cricket grounds and a gym too.
- Basic toiletries – Tooth brush, toothpaste, soap, soap box ( mandatory), trimmer, shaving kit etc.
