Pace College

Pace College is located right on NH-5, near the Valluramma Temple here in Ongole. Being close to the highway means there's always a lot of noise and movement around us. You can see the temple from our upper floors, which is quite nice. The college is a busy place, with students coming in from all parts of Prakasam district. We have a pretty large campus with several blocks for different departments. The sun can be really harsh here in Andhra, so we have a lot of fans running all day. The corridors are long and wide, and you'll always find groups of students sitting and talking between their lectures. We have a canteen that serves the usual tiffins and coffee, which is where most people hang out. The labs are filled with equipment that we've had for a while. It’s not the most modern-looking place, but it works for what we need. Many of our students stay in hostels nearby. The staff here are mostly from the local area, so we speak a mix of Telugu and English. Traffic on the NH-5 can be a bit much during peak hours, so everyone tries to leave a bit early. It’s a practical place for students who want to get their degrees without too much fuss. We just keep our heads down and do the work that needs to be done.
