Gla University

GLA University is out in Jait, which is a bit of a drive from the main center of Mathura. It is a pretty large campus, so there is always a lot of walking involved to get from one building to another. Being out here means we have more space than the schools in the middle of town. There are always students hanging around the canteen or sitting under the trees between their lectures. The road outside can get quite busy with people heading towards Delhi. We have got hostels on the site, so the place does not really sleep; there is always someone moving around even in the evenings. The buildings are a mix of different styles because things were added on as needed over the years. It isn't always perfectly quiet, especially when there are events going on in the main hall. We deal with all the usual stuff like power cuts and water issues that you get in this part of Uttar Pradesh. The library is usually the quietest spot, though even there you hear the occasional murmur. It is a busy, somewhat messy environment where thousands of young people are just trying to figure out their next steps in life. We do not try to make it sound more grand than it is; it is a big place with a lot of moving parts. We just focus on keeping the classes running and the exams on schedule.
