I have my classmates from hostel life is like people do socialize there and make friends too, I would say don't opt for a hostel since no proper or good food, but students can still try a hostel for a year to see and manage their studies, we have Oxford hostel for all engineering, dental and architecture students same hostel, so yh it's good if ur alone u can get company hostel is on campus for girls and boys, it's different n it's outside the campus just 1 min walk.
