Scott Christian College

Scott Christian College is situated on Palace Road in Nagercoil, and it’s a place with a lot of history. If you walk through the gates, you’ll notice the old architecture and the big trees that provide some much-needed shade in the Tamil Nadu heat. The address is 16-34 Palace Road, and it’s a central part of Thuckalay for many families. The campus feels a bit different from the newer colleges you see these days; it has a sense of being lived-in and solid. Students come from all over the Nagercoil area, and you can hear a mix of different local dialects in the hallways. The library is one of those places that smells like old paper, and the classrooms have high ceilings that help a bit with the humidity. We spend our days managing schedules and making sure the facilities are in decent shape for the students. It’s not always easy keeping an older campus running smoothly, and there’s always a wall that needs painting or a roof that needs checking after the rains. Our staff is a mix of people who have been here for decades and some newer faces. We don't really go in for big displays or modern gimmicks. It’s just a steady, traditional place where people come to study and move on to the next part of their lives. It’s been that way for a long time now.
