What are some helpful tips for students starting their first year at MSU Baroda?

One of my friends recently graduated from MSU Baroda. Let me share some of the points she mentioned about the college, which might also help go through your first year of college.

• The faculty of MSU are highly skilled and experienced in their respective fields.
• It will take some time to get used to the culture and the overall environment. If you are fluent in Hindi or Gujrati, adjusting here will be no problem.
• It will take time to get used to the daily food also as they have their unique way of preparing them which is quite different in every other state.
• The weather here is quite humid, if you are used to dry weather and extreme winters it could take some time adjusting. 
• MSU as a university is a very open and independently cultured place. You will have the complete freedom to explore the place and build your personality as well.
• Many events are also held in the campus which brings everyone together. These include DJ nights, Navratri celebrations, and sponsored events.
• The day of the exams are hectic and teachers prefer their students to mug up information rather than actually understanding it.

Overall it is a really nice place. In your first year you will get to interact with lots of students and will also have enough time to explore the place. After your first year the pressure of the studies increases so, it is suggested that you explore most during your first year.
