Living in Delhi is a charming experience no matter how much you are bothered with its traffic or pollution. The city is a dream destination especially for college goers who want to live life to the fullest. But the biggest challenge is finding a suitable accommodation here. It is not due to scarcity but the huge diversity of options that baffles our minds.

 

Most importantly, you should choose a suitable location first and then a house. If you prefer to stay near your college you can explore North Campus or South Campus primarily. Both these locations are popular among students as they are packed with all that a student life yearns for. Street foods, cafes, restaurants, multiplexes, roadside stalls, hawkers selling aloo chaats, etc. all come as a package in these locations.

 

Once in Delhi, it is all about finding the location that cater to your convenience as well as touch your heart. Some of the ideal locations for accommodation can be Malviya Nagar, Lajpat Nagar, Sarojini Nagar, Hauz Khas Village, Mayur Vihar, North Campus and other places. When it comes to paying your room rent in Delhi, all these locations have something to offer within your preferred budget.

 

The ever expanding scope of education has led to a large scale increase in the numbers of hostels, PGs and rental flats in these areas. The rental costs in these places range from 2K to 10K – so you have ample scope to find a suitable base for yourself in the city.

 

While deciding your location make sure you focus on the infrastructure. As such connectivity isn’t an issue as almost every region has metro connectivity which is not only cheaper but also safer than any other means. Moreover it is the best mode of transport for regular commuting. However, there are certain places that face water issues that you should inquire from the local people. Usually the planned housing societies face less issues as they have their own maintenance staff and security arrangements.

 

Some of the most sought after locations near North Campus include Kamla Nagar, Hudson Lane, GTB Nagar, Vijay Nagar and Roop Nagar. They are ideal options if you wish to find an economical accommodation near institutions like Ramjas, Kirorimal and others. The room rent ranges somewhere between 6K – 15K at which you can find both boys and girls PGs in the areas.

 

If staying a little far away from your college is OK with you, you can opt for GTB Nagar. The place not only has budget-friendly accommodations but its markets are also quite happening. To satiate the foodie in you, Hudson Lane is again a great location to set up your base – affordable options are in plenty here along with basic necessities like food, malls and hospitals.

 

Lajpat Nagar in South Delhi is a fabulous place if you want to indulge in street shopping as well as get some branded stuffs. It is huge area comprising of ample accommodations for students. Lady Shriram College is easily accessible from any part of Lajpat Nagar. The nearest metro station is that of Moolchand located just a few minutes from the college.

 

All in all, Delhi is filled with options – all you need is to plan your budget and identify your requirements. Once that is done, you can go online and easily find you suitable base. The best part is, online real estate portals do not charge any brokerage so you can save hugely on your initial expenses.
