Crsgis K.J.Somaiya College Of Sc. & Comm

Down here in Vidyavihar East, the college is a big part of the neighborhood. Being in Mumbai, things are always moving fast, and it’s no different here at K.J. Somaiya. You can hear the trains from the station if you listen closely enough during the quiet hours. The science and commerce departments are always full of kids running around with their journals or talking about the latest exams they just finished. We have a lot of space, but it still feels crowded because so many people are here every single day for lectures. The canteen is where most of the life is, especially when the weather is nice outside. We don't really have a lot of corporate polish in the way we talk to each other around here. The professors are just regular people who have been teaching for years and they know most of the students by face if not by name. It’s a busy place with a lot of stairs to climb and sometimes the elevators are slow, so everyone just walks up to the fourth floor. The labs have that specific smell of chemicals that stays in your clothes long after you leave. Mumbai life is tough and the students here are used to it, coming in from all different suburbs. We just provide the space and the books and let them get on with it. It’s not like those fancy private schools you see on TV, it’s just a solid place to study science or commerce in the heart of the city for normal people.
