Behaviour of my professors, classmates and serious.
Lots of availability of books in the library.

Dislikes

Unhygienic and uncleaned washrooms facilities.
Canteen food quality is not up to the mark.

Hostel Facilities:

Quality of meal in my pg is average. It is quite affordable but in the beginning I had a bit of difficulties in adjustment with my roommates and with the environment. I live near Shyambazar metro gate number 2. I go to my college by foot it takes me 25 minutes. In exam time , I face difficulties in studying because my roomates gossip and classes in the same room. Also there are some problem in privacy.

My Experience from Bethune

4.4Helpful

Hostel Facilities:

I did my graduation from Calcutta University and opted for hostel residence there but I felt that there wasn't much need of hostels for me as I can easily up-down from my home. This dragged me to not opt for hostels during my MA and I think that was a wise decision by me because it helped me to stay connected with the outer world in a better manner. However, the annual hostel fee of our college was nearly INR 10000

BETHUNE COLLEGE IS THE BEST COLLEGE TO OPT FOR HIGHER STUDIES

5.0Helpful

Hostel Facilities:

Our college has a newly build hostel building which provides accommodation to nearly 250 girls. The hostel building has several facilities like a seperate gym, indoor retail shops, small game courts, and a seperate study room for the students which is fully air-conditioned. The hostel food is quite decent as compared to the college canteen. Although it provides healthy foods and is highly concerned about the health of the students. They include vegetables and fruits with each and every meal and sometimes provide some special cuisines during any special occasions. Basically, i live in a dorm room. I share my room with 5 of my collegemates and the room is very big and spacious and has a clean toilet attached to it.

Bethune college from a student's perspective

3.8Helpful

Likes

The professors have a good teaching experience and they complete the syllabus in time. The college has two big libraries that contain all the books needed for every subject. The professors ensure that all students understand the matter and score well
The campus is huge with a great canteen service. The canteen food is affordable and tasty as well. They offer both veg and non veg options. Sports day events, inter and intra college competitions are also organised. Annual function is also organised.

Dislikes

The administrative work takes a long time. Sometimes the professors cancel the classes without any prior information. Some professors just read out of a ppt or a book. They are not super helpful or flexible when it comes to a student's need.
The campus is not super hygienic. There's dust on the desks and it felt like the bathrooms never got cleaned. The lifts don't work 70% of the time and you need to climb 200 stairs for every other class as they take place in different buildings/floor.

Campus Life:

The annual fest is held in the month of December. It is called "Aalap". The fest includes ramp walks, fashion shows, singing, music bands, students from other colleges are also allowed to participate in the celebration. College also organises a sports day which includes events like sprints, hurdle race, badminton etc. The college library offers a variety of course books. Although, it lacks in the area of novels and classic reads. It is an old college so there isn't any technological advancement in the classroom and teaching style. At maximum, the students get a PowerPoint presentation on a laptop. Many cultural events also take place in the college. Various educative sessions are organised during the visit of guest lecturers.

The campus is so beautiful and a calm place to focus on studies. The whole campus is full of trees and also well maintained.
There are several buildings where each building contains 3-4 departments, a big auditorium, different libraries for science and arts subjects.

Dislikes

Libraries need an upgradation with new launched books which might help the students with their semester studies otherwise there are a lot of good old and high-level books

Campus Life:

My campus life was very good. Our college arranges a yearly fest named AALAP. There are several clubs such as photography club, cultural club, literature real clubs, art and craft, singing, dancing, drama, content writing etc. one can easily enroll according to their interests.

Everything about Bethunbari

4.8Helpful

Likes

The psychology department is the leading department of the college. Teachers are polite and excellent in their field. We have 3 labs in the department and enough inttuments.
We have a strict anti-ragging cell. Other than ragging we have right to complain against any type of harassment by faculty members. We have departmental libraries, archives, Science & arts library also.

Dislikes

The bathrooms are not clean and lack maintenance and water.
The lift in the psychology department is not working for 6-7 months but no one repaired it. It's problematic for pwd students, teachers and who have emergencies.

Campus Life:

We have our annual program AALAP which is a whole intimate fest close to our heart. Frequently college coducts seminars about different topics like- mental health programs, information about abroad studies, different courses, computer courses, department wise topics etc. We have different extracurricular activities clubs like- art and craft, photography, science and environment, quiz, debate, literary etc. Bethune college conducts annual sports every year, students and teachers participate in it.

Likes

The faculty, the teachers, the campus, and some gem of books in the Library MAINLY
The affordability a 100 times! Imagine a good studious atmosphere with teachers interested in teaching and always there for you just 1800/- a year!!!

Dislikes

The cultural side could have been a little more flourished it is not like it DOES NOT HAVE but it could have been better
The campus life is a little dry there so being an outgoing person I feel a little dull but a good friend group is all it takes though:)(it might be heaven for you if you're an introvert)

Campus Life:

Okay so here's a con it's not that culturally fulfilling, there are a lot of clubs to encourage if you want to go there but it's not that fulfilling, the library has a wide range that's a plus, it's very course oriented books but if you dig in you'll find some gems too!! In terms of extracurricular we have a NSS so we can work on that and campus life is okayish I'd say but a solace to be in.
