MUJ Hostel: What Students Actually Get
MUJ's official hostel page describes separate boys' and girls' hostels, twin-sharing AC rooms and single rooms subject to availability. Rooms are furnished with bed, mattress, wardrobe, table, chair, AC, hot water and basic fittings. Hostel allotment is first-come-first-served after fee payment.
The hostel is a material part of the university budget. Because MUJ is a residential university, hostel, food and daily living costs should be included when comparing total cost with another college.
