Lourdes Matha College Of Science And Technolgy

Out here in Kuttichal, things are a bit quieter than in the main part of Trivandrum. Our college sits on a bit of land where you can actually see some green trees. It is a place for science and technology, so we have labs and computer rooms, though they look like they have been used heavily by many students. The hallways are long and concrete, and they echo quite a bit when the classes let out. We have a lot of young people coming in from the surrounding areas every morning. Some stay in the hostels, and you can see them hanging out near the gates in the evenings. The faculty are regular people who care about their subjects. They spend a lot of time in the staff rooms drinking tea and talking about the next set of exams. We don't have a lot of fancy furniture or high-end gadgets in the common areas. It is a functional place meant for studying. Sometimes the grass grows a bit long on the edges of the campus before someone gets around to cutting it. We deal with the usual problems like slow internet or leaky taps, but the work goes on regardless. It is just a regular engineering and science college where people come to get their degrees and move on to their careers. No one here is trying to be anything we are not. It is just us out here.
