Surana College

If you know Bangalore, you know how South End Road in Basavanagudi feels. It has that old-school vibe with big trees and plenty of traffic. Our college is right there at No. 16, and it’s been part of the neighborhood for a long time. It’s a bit of a squeeze sometimes because the city has grown so much around us. Students are always hanging out near the entrance or grabbing a quick bite at the stalls down the street. The building has a lot of stairs, and during the break, it gets pretty crowded with everyone moving between floors. We don't have those massive green campuses you see outside the city, but we make use of every corner we have. The classrooms have seen many years of students, and the wooden desks show it. It’s a busy place from morning until the evening. We have various departments squeezed in, and you can always hear someone practicing something or a lecture going on if you walk down the hall. It’s just a standard urban college life. People come here because it’s easy to get to and it’s in a good part of town. We just focus on the daily routine of classes and making sure the registers are marked. It is simple, a bit crowded, and very much a part of Basavanagudi. There is usually a stray cat or two lounging near the back gate by the canteen.
