What should I prefer if I get VIT Pune, hostel or rooms for rent nearby?

It’s better to rent a flat/room than to live in the VIT College hostel. The hostel has bate minimum facilities whereas living in a room/flat muli cons avail as many facilities as you want. Although the girls hostel is pretty good, the old boys hostel is a big disappointment. The hostels are also far from the campus. So considering the cost of living, a flat or room is always affordable. 

Additionally, if you stay in a hostel you will have to adhere to the curfew timings so you may not get the chance to attend the night practices, activities, club events, or functions. This won’t be the case if you choose to stay in a flat. 

Except for the safety offered to the students in the hostel, you won’t find anything better than staying in a room. So choose wisely!
