Is it true that LPU Hostels are not safe and staying outside the campus is more convenient?

Question

Sona · Answer

Hello Everyone, As a student, I feel that LPU hostels are quite safe and well-managed. Security guards are always present, and strict entry rules ensure that only authorized individuals can access the premises. Additionally, wardens are available round the clock to address any concerns, making hostel life secure and comfortable. The presence of CCTV cameras further adds to the safety measures. Although some students choose to stay outside for flexibility, I personally find the hostel environment better for focusing on studies and enjoying campus life. Living inside means easy access to academic blocks, libraries, and recreational facilities without worrying about travel. Plus, hostel events and community activities make it feel like a second home, adding to the overall experience. Hope this helps!

As a student living in Lovely Professional University's (LPU) hostel, I can confidently say that safety is a top priority here. Many people assume that campus hostels are unsafe, but this is a misconception. LPU has 24/7 security, biometric access, surveillance cameras, and a dedicated warden system, ensuring a secure and comfortable stay for students. The university takes strict measures to maintain discipline and safety, which is why many students and parents prefer on-campus accommodation over staying outside. Living inside the campus is not just safe but also more convenient. The hostels are well-maintained, with facilities like Wi-Fi, housekeeping, common rooms, gyms, and medical assistance available around the clock. Plus, staying on campus means easy access to classes, libraries, and extracurricular activities, saving both time and effort. While some students choose to live outside for personal reasons, LPU hostels provide a much safer, well-managed, and student-friendly environment, making it an ideal choice for those who prioritize both security and convenience.

Dear Nomanjee, I think someone misguided you and told you the opposite. In fact, the LPU hostels are more convenient, and staying outside the campus is not safe. I have been there in the hostel for 2 years. As LPU is itself a mini town in its periphery. Students do not need to pass the gates of LPU for any essentials, you just name the thing and it is available inside the LPU campus only. Regarding safety concerns : The whole campus means every nook is Covered with CCTV cameras. Outsiders are not allowed to enter the University campus without a GATE pass. In fact, the staff who does not have RFIDs of their conveyance are not allowed to enter without the GATE pass. Girls are not allowed to go outside the university at any given point of time, to go outside the university, permissions from parents are taken to provide them with the GATE pass. The university is secured completely with high walls, barbed wires, security guards, and CCTVs so no loopholes where they can sneak from. Girls have to enter their specific hostels in the particular time duration of 7 pm, and they cannot escape from hostels as boys are allowed to roam the university till 9 pm maximum. Girls who want to study in the Central library at night are allotted 2 hrs of time and will be accompanied by guards to the library and back from the library to their respective hostels. Girls are handled by the women security guards only. Illegal substances are strictly forbidden and regular checks are done to make sure such activities do not happen in the university. Any offensive act is not at all appreciated inside the campus and results in strict actions being taken against such action by the University. I hope this helps Thanks!

Being an alumnus of LPU is can answer this question. Yes, hostels are so secure and there are so many restrictions on students. Like day scholars are not allowed in hostels. And even hostels are not allowed to go in other hostels this is weird but for security purposes it is good. And for clarity, I have made this restriction in point have a look at below points. 1) 0% Ragging, 0% tolerance to any illegal substances like alcohol, drugs etc. Strict action used to be taken against the defaulters in case non-adherence of to such rules. 2) Students are not allowed to enter any other Hostel without permission of the authority. LPU has Turnstile gates at major entry/exit points as well as boom barriers for vehicles, thereby ensuring that every movement is monitored. 3) Boys are allowed to go outside the campus as per requirement but they need to return back & report to Hostel by 8 PM. 4) Special Permission will be extended to Boys student for a night out with the written permission of the Warden & Parents. 5) Any publicly offensive acts are clearly not allowed in the university and strict actions are taken against such act. Though there are many restrictions you can observe from the above-mentioned points for the hostellers but believe me at the end of the day you will find it necessary for all your security & safety. These restrictions would definitely make you learn how to lead your life in a controlled environment. Campus Security Surveillance : 1) LPU campus is equipped with 6500+ CCTV surveillance a 24X7. Which adds more security. 2) 400+ Security Officials are there. LPU security team includes experienced ex-military men and women. That's it from my side hope this will help. For more information, students can call on their admission helpline toll-free number 18001024431.
