    It depends on the requirements like Privacy, budget, location and facilities for a student to decide whether they would be more comfortable in an Apartment or a Hostel as an accommodation. While each of the different options have their benefits. Based on your requirements a student has to pay for the accommodation. LPU residential Facilities are indeed exceptionally well organised and maintained. The hostel administration here is very cooperative and caring. Hostel residents are permitted to keep Electrical Kettles, Electrical Irons, Steamer, Laptop, mobile charger, shaving set, trimmer, hair straightener and hair dryer. Basic essentia

    Hello!
    Apartments are more organised and provide more privacy where as hostels have their own benefits. Both are good. Free Wi-Fi, hygienic and nutritious vegetarian meals, 24 hours security,24 hours power, proximity and access to academic resources like library, classrooms, labs etc. To make the stay of the students a pleasant one they are constantly involved by organizing various celebrations, events and activities likes cultural activities, sports, debates and declamations.

    There are certain points that you should consider before coming on any decision. Well in my opinion and as per my brother experience at LPU premises both facilities are highly maintained, clean and lively.
    1. You have no option but to eat the food within in mess only if you opt for a hostel. While in an apartment you can either opt for a tiffin service or cook yourself. Food is the basic need and all of us want it to be the BEST!
    2. If you are reserved and very personal about your belongings you can go for an apartment otherwise the hostel will be a good place.
    3If you want a spacious room then go for apartments definitely. More space i

    The only difference between LPU hostel and apartments is charges as well some extra facilities like in apartment you can make food by yourself and in apartments they provides two room separately in that you can use one for bedroom and another for study purpose.

    Quiet Environment: If you prefer a quiet environment to focus on your studies or have a peaceful night's sleep,  renting an apartment might be a better option for you. 

    More Storage Space: Apartments typically offer more storage space than hostels, allowing you to keep your belongings organized and easily accessible.

    Hostels are a cheaper and more social hotel category th

    When considering accommodation options at Lovely Professional University (LPU), students weigh the benefits of hostels versus apartments. Hostels offer a social and affordable experience, with shared rooms and communal facilities ideal for meeting new people. However, they may lack private space and storage. In contrast, apartments provide a quiet environment, separate bedroom and study areas, and the freedom to cook own meals, but come at a higher cost.

    Ultimately, the choice depends on individual preferences. Students seeking a budget-friendly, social atmosphere opt for hostels, while those prioritizing peace, privacy, and independenc

  • Lovely Professional University (LPU) offers students two comfortable accommodation options: apartments and hostels. While both provide a comfortable living experience, apartments stand out with their more spacious rooms, separate kitchen areas, and extra facilities. On the other hand, hostels are well-maintained and offer a range of accommodations, modern amenities, and a sense of community.

    The apartments at Lovely Professional University (LPU) offer a more spacious and comfortable living experience compared to hostel rooms. They are equipped with a separate kitchen area, air conditioning, attached washrooms, and furniture, making them

    Hi,

    At LPU, hostels are shared living spaces designed for students, offering basic amenities like beds, study tables, and communal bathrooms. They provide an affordable living option with more social interaction and supervision.

    On the other hand, apartments are more private and spacious, typically consisting of individual rooms with shared kitchen and living areas. They offer greater comfort, privacy, and flexibility but come at a higher cost.Whether an apartment is better than a hostel depends on personal preferences, budget, and the desire for privacy versus community living.

    Thank you.

    In LPU, residentials such as hostels and apartments provide the residents with a different feel. Hostels are halls where people can sleep in sharing certain amenities; they are cheaper and more communal than hotels. They are well suited to the students in their search for cheap and communal accommodations. On the other hand, apartments are individual houses or rooms for living that are more spacious, comfortable, and closer to complete privatization than houses; such forms are preferred by those who like solitude or, in some cases, privacy. Apartments provide an immediate resource in the form of a fitted kitchen, annex where a living r
