To understand campus life through the eyes of a student, read a student's account of daily experiences and memories.

 

"My life at Amrita has etched such subtle memories that it has been difficult realize the impact during my actual process as a student during a four year course. I know, however, that years later I will reflect and cherish the opportunities I gained. At one of the most crucial and formative stages of my life, I consider myself most fortunate to be exposed to such a richly, multifaceted and educative influence. I know that I am evolving in a way that determines my future positively; our campus offers a diverse, dynamic platform for personality development.

 

The ambience on Amrita's campus needs no description for those who have experienced it. Placed in a serene setting right in the lap of nature, we are provided with an environment that in so many ways is so conducive for growth. As it is secluded from all sources of pollution, its pristine atmosphere soothes the mind, facilitates good health and whets one's appetite for learning.

Amrita's world-class infrastructure furnishes us with highly equipped laboratories, a state-of-the-art PARAM 10000 supercomputer, very stable and well connected campus networks, a rich intranet digital library, a marvelous library with a large collection of books and journals, vast recreational facilities, a modern gymnasium, well-maintained tennis, badminton and basketball courts and an Olympic-size swimming pool. As students we take pride in the fact that we can effectively utilize these advantages for our optimum development.

 

As Amrita residents, we have the good fortune to share life with a refined and diverse student population. It is common knowledge that the company we keep bears a great influence. A very crucial aspect of campus life is the ability to connect with other students and develop lasting friendships. This need is fulfilled because Amrita's student population maintains a very positive energy and exerts a healthy influence on anyone who's a part of it. And our college boasts of a rich, multicultural and diverse intra-campus society, with students from many parts of the country in attendance.

 

Extracurricular activities at Amrita such as organizing campus programs, running errands to seek approvals and permissions, hostel duties and assignments and walks on the campus grounds are a few of my warm, lasting memories. Many of these activities, in addition to being enjoyable, contribute towards the blossoming of one's personality, as they involve valuable interaction with various people at various levels, and can hone one's managerial skills. In some cases, extracurricular activities have given me the opportunity to meet eminent personalities who visit the campus as honoured guests.

 

Life in our well-maintained hostels provides recreational facilities such as table tennis courts, reading rooms and TV rooms which are part of every hostel on the campus. Hostel buildings are well constructed to ensure good ventilation and light in each room. I will fondly remember and value time spent with friends in the hostels, a unique experience that life at home could not extend.

 

Amrita is an educational experience to look forward to for those joining, and a place to remember dearly, for those leaving. This unparalled experience leaves an indelible mark of joy and growth on any person who treads the Amrita path."
