How is the hostel of Amity University, Kolkata?

You will most probably not have a great hostel life at Amity University Kolkata. In my friend’s experience, it is not a humane experience staying at the Amity hostels at all. 

• Firstly, it is very expensive for a hostel. My friend had to pay around INR 90,000 every year. This fee does not include any additional food expenses. 
• Another downside to this is the fact that the canteen will not offer any non-vegetarian food items. So, if you are an avid meat eater or seafood lover, your options will only be limited to vegetarian food.
• Coming to the hostel warden, she is not a nice individual either. In an absurd instance, one time, she caught a friend of mine using a kettle and took it away. She did not return it until we had left the hostel. 
• Basically, it is a tight run ship here. If you go against the rules, you will have to bear the brunt.
• When it comes to going out, you are allowed to leave only for an hour on weekdays. If you want to leave for an entire day, you will have to take permission from a million other people. 
• The situation is slightly different for weekends where you can stay out the whole day but you have to be back by 5 pm sharp. However, this is not the case with the boys. In my opinion, this is quite sexist.

In case you want to stay out beyond the designated time, you will have to email your parents, call them, show their phone numbers to the warden, fill up an outpass, and only then you can go. Even then, you will be put through a question-answer session where they can ask absurd questions which could be a breach of privacy.

My advice to you would be to think twice before planning on staying at the hostel here. Your life will be miserable.
