ACCOMODATION:

The beautifully constructed students hostel at MU houses nearly 500 students, with a much greater capacity. It offers single, double and triple-sharing rooms at varying rates, as per choice and availability. Located right next to the University sports facilities, the hostel is a picture of action and festivity on most days. There are fully sequestered, secluded residential areas for boys and girls. The hostel has its own housekeeping staff, with an uninterrupted supply of regular water and purified drinking water. It has round-the-clock security, with a team of wardens (both male and female) and the proctor staying within the hostel premises.

The hostel has separate gym facilities for girls and boys, as well as a common set of TT tables for recreation purposes. It is equipped with a dedicated Television Room and lounge. It is also fully wifi-enabled. One floor of the hostel consists exclusively of amenities, including a basic grocery shop, a saloon, a well-equipped dispensary with doctors constantly available and laundry facilities.

One of the most remarkable features of the hostel is its Open-Air Theatre. It is the venue for several formal and informal hostel functions, a key to keeping campus life brimming with energy.

SPORTS:

MU's sprawling 70-acre campus is striking for one feature above all else – its abundance of sports facilities. At any time during the day, you are likely to stumble upon a basketball game, a cricket match and a soccer rumble, all at the same time. At night, it is the turn of parallel volleyball matches under lights, with several hostel residents cheering lustily from the perches of their rooms.
 

MU's Student Activity Council pays special attention to sports and the physical development of the student body. The Activity Calendar is packed with several inter-institute sports tournaments, as well as tournaments between hostel sections and student batches.

Both the girls' and the boys' gym in the hostel are equipped with state-of-the-art exercise equipment. The facility is available for day scholars too, before 4pm.
