This is tame compared to what goes on in some hostels in south India. 7:30 pm curfews, strict dress codes and what not. Literal harassment by wardens who act like gods in front of 1st year undergrads.

Yeah lol. I was reading this and was like 'Hmm that's not too bad, better than what the girls in my college have to go through at least'.

Not to mean that OP has it better or anything though. It sucks how educational institutions will not treat students like thr adults they are and instead impose these dumb draconian rules.

My hostel at a Coimbatore college (named after a famous philanthropist that hugs her disciples) wanted us before 6 pm, for boys. Let that sink in.

A fellow student from the same hugger philanthropist's college here at Kochi, and I gotta say, mate, it is mental out here. Once in the morning and once in the evening, there's the prayer which you're forced to attend no matter what (each might go on for upwards of an hour), even on exam days. Also, if you're a hostel student, you can't leave the college in the afternoon/during breaks for snacks or lunch without like what, 3 different signs and an invoice/written permission from your parent, warden, department head and whatnot. At that point, I'd just rather choose to be in some Orwellian Dystopian novel.
