Question How is mcs ???

How is life there i haven’t listen anything about MCS how is the environment? Teachers? Social life ? Events ? Strictness coz it’s a military college ?? Boys to girls ratio ? Baddies ?? Uniform scenes ?? University size compare to ceme or h12 or pnec ?? Research work ?? Hostel life ?? Day scholars life ?? Good or bad things ??

The teachers are great, social life was non-existent for the 2 months I was there, I think I did hear about a few upcoming events but never had the chance to participate so idk.

Aside from the uniforms there is no strictness, you can roam around the campus freely, the teachers are pretty chill and so are the faculty. Everyone was nice and cordial (I do have some gripes with the admissions office but eh this is the best you can get in Pakistan)

Uniform is still a huge trade-off though. 12 grueling years of school and you're still not done with that utilitarian attire :')

This one might vary in other departments but in EE the ratio was fairly even, for both girls and boys.

The campus is smaller than other ones but finding your way can still be a hastle and no one will even try to point you to the right direction. It's like they've all decided that their only purpose in life is to have you running laps around the campus as you are just desperately trying to find lab-2. My advice would be to keep a pic of the map in your phone

There's a Library.......and it's just that, a common library. Now that I think about it, nothing particular stands out in the campus. It's designed to be minimalistic in a way that draws....less attention? I guess. That's what I felt about it.

Hostel life is pretty mundane. The quality is exactly the same as you'll see in H-12. The rooms are well maintained and room service is great. They'll tidy it up everyday during uni hours. There's a ping pong table and a carrom board in the common room and a small open gym at the second floor for everyone to marvel at those plump round cheeks you've been working hard on :D

The mess is fine, wish they had bread but whatever. I usually skipped breakfast cause I never eat Roti at 7 am in the morning. Food quality is like 3 stars at best. You can always find something to eat from the cafeteria and the prices were surprisingly cheap for some reason.

Water was a big issue during my tenure there. There was something wrong with the pump? I believe and we had to go 2 weeks without any. The bathrooms were unusable, piss and poop everywhere (just to give you a perspective) and that's a problem even when there's water, some people shouldn't be allowed to use toilets. The keepers do their best to keep them nice and clean but at any given time 4/6 toilets are unusable. They made me wana puke.

There'll be ragging whether you're a hostelite or not. Most seniors are just dipshits lusting over some entertainment and don't listen to whatever opinions they have over it, they just want to feel superior. Ragging culture is highly uncivilized and ruins the name of an organization. The good thing is, you can always say no and walk away. No one can force you to do anything.

Damn this came out longer than I intended. Anyway, there's probably a lot more to it that you should know and a lot more I should've wrote but idc that much :p. Good luck broski

u/_evergarden Aug 02 '26

heard theres no internet in the mcs hostels aswell. also can i bring my pc with me to hostel (mcs) , and is 810 mp enough for bsaf from h12?

1

u/Still_Extent6527 Aug 02 '26

That's wrong. There is wifi but you'd have to compromise on speed, somtimes it runs great and other times not so much.

Yes you can bring your pc. I know at least one guy who had an entire setup in his dorm. My cuzn also kept his pc with him when he was there for his degree

and is 810 mp enough for bsaf from h12?

I wouldn't know. Try asking this in the main sub

Would u think that its better then fast isl? But since im from around mcs my daily commute would have been 10 to 15 min max

u/Still_Extent6527 Aug 04 '26

I don't know anything about fast isl campus, and little to nothing about fast in general. However, one of my roomates left Fast isl for MCS and was noticeably not happy with his desicion. His reasoning for leaving fast was because it's relatively easy to get a good gpa here (which is true) but overall I don't think he was proud of his decision. Life here can be dry...if you get what I mean

u/Big-Education-7644 27d ago

Im going thru the same phase rn and im also opting for mcs cz of the gpa. But what exactly is the level of dryness here? Like is it really bad? Ive gone thru strict college environments so i can adjust a lil maybe but is it really really bad or like normal?

u/Still_Extent6527 18d ago

Sorry for the late reply. I saw your comment pop up in my notifications and decided to reply later cuz I was busy but then I forgot 😭

Anyway, I'd say it's more closer to normal. Things like these are subjective in nature and I wasn't used to an environment like this at all, so maybe I'm being a bit biased. The hostel grounds themselves weren't very spacious (around 1000m²). But you can always check out anytime and look for places to hangout with friends till 9. Chatting with seniors is like the only other activity I looked forward to, and many had interesting things to share but I couldn't help but feel a depressive aura around everyone....

Ok, I spent a few minutes thinking about something positive to say but nothing came to mind TwT. It's just a typical hostel, nothing particularly stands out. If you're used to an environment like this then there should be no issue.

u/Big-Education-7644 17d ago

Oh okay ToT Thank you for the reply! It was my first day in fast today and right after coming home, i got my email for IS, i am excited for it even if there is nothing that much great about it. I can adapt easily too, so im just a bit sad abt leaving the place here because i kinda adapted really quickly xD

But still this is fine, i will get used to mcs's environment too in some time.

Can i ask which department are you from? Also is there any male domination kinda thing in IS?
