University Hostel Located in the lush green campuses of the University, SNDT Women’s University Hostel is a home away from home for girls who come to pursue their dreams in the congested and fast life of Mumbai. It’s a huge building with 4 floors and comprising over 150 rooms which accommodate more than 500 students. Mess facility is provided within the building itself. We, at SNDT believe in the overall development of the students along with their studies. It is a privilege to see the students come out of their cocoons and emerge into confident individuals after a few years of stay in the hostel. They develop qualities like leadership, self-discipline, management and the courage to face the world under any given circumstances. Girls come here from different parts of India from different backgrounds, stay together and develop the bond of love and care.
Days of national importance are celebrated inculcating in students the feeling of patriotism and love for the country. Also all regional festivals are celebrated with great pomp and enthusiasm giving equal importance and respect to every culture. Thus, girls in the hostel enjoy freedom but at the same time also learn to live their life in a disciplined manner.
The day to day activities of the hostel are supervised by the Hostel Superintendent and an Assistant Superintendent. A student’s committee is also formed every year for putting light on the issues from the students point of view and also to assist the superintendents’ in conducting various activities.
