Sri Aravindar Arts & Science College

Sri Aravindar Arts & Science College is out on Mayilam Road in the Vanoor area, right near Pondicherry. We’ve been here for a while, offering different courses to students who want to continue their education after school. It’s a bit of a drive from the main city, which makes it a quieter place to study. We have a few different buildings for the various departments. It’s not a flashy campus. Most of it is just functional space where people can sit and learn. We have a library and some basic labs, and they get used a lot. The students come from all over the region. Some stay nearby and others commute every day. The staff here are pretty down-to-earth. We aren't interested in being some high-profile institution. We just want to make sure the students learn what they need to for their degrees. You’ll often see students sitting under the trees during their breaks because it gets quite hot here. We have a canteen that serves basic food. Everything is simple and practical. We don’t spend much time on fancy brochures. If you come by, you’ll see teachers at their desks and students in the halls. It’s a very normal college life. We take things as they come and try to help the students get through their exams without too much stress. It’s just a place of learning in Vanoor, and that is all we ever intended it to be.
