Anna University

This branch is located at the S. M. K. Fomra Institute of Technology. It's quite a way out from the center of Chennai, down the road towards the 603103 area. Being part of a bigger campus means there are always people moving around. The building we occupy is a solid block of concrete and brick. It stays cooler than some of the other places because of the trees nearby. We spend our time here dealing with the day-to-day tasks that come with being on an institute grounds. The hallways are long and have that specific school smell of floor cleaner and old books. We have a few desks set up in a large room. The internet works most of the time, but we still keep paper backups for everything just in case. The drive out here can be long if you are coming from the city, but it's much quieter once you arrive. You can hear birds and the occasional sound of students outside between classes. We don't have anything fancy in terms of furniture or technology. It's just basic stuff that works for what we need to do. Most of the staff has been here for years, so we know the rhythms of the campus life well. It's a quiet, steady place to work and manage things for the university. We usually grab lunch from the local canteen nearby when we don't bring our own boxes from home.
