HAVEN

Increased class size with more non-local students has heightened the demand for hostel space.

Escalating rental costs push students to share a room among four at exorbitant rates, adding to the burden of living expenses, including meals.

The HAVEN initiative supports students’ living expenses.

Nearly 2/3rd of students apply for hostel accommodation

A miniscule number of first-year students receive subsidized hostel accommodation

The HAVEN Initiative seeks to spotlight accommodation challenges and garner alumni support
