Christian College

You will find the Christian College down in Kanyakumari, specifically in the Samarth Ramdas area. It is right at the bottom of Tamil Nadu, 629157. We’ve been here for a long time, and the building definitely shows its age in some spots. We have these big windows to let in the breeze because it gets quite hot and humid being so close to the coast. It isn’t a massive, sprawling university campus with glass buildings. It’s more of a traditional setup with solid walls and old-fashioned classrooms. Most of the people who work here live nearby. We know the local families and their children who come here to study. My day usually starts with opening up the main office and checking the schedule for the lectures. We deal with all sorts of things, from fixing a leaky tap to helping a student understand their course requirements. It’s a very hands-on kind of place. We don’t use any fancy management software; most things are still done with paper and ink. Sometimes it feels a bit slow, but it works for us. The students sit out in the courtyard during their lunch breaks. It’s a fairly peaceful environment most of the time. We don’t have a big mission statement or anything promotional like that. We are just a college in Kanyakumari where people come to get their degrees. It’s a steady, honest way to make a living, and we’re happy to be here. We just keep things running.
