St. Aloysius College

Our college is out in Elthuruth, which is a part of Thrissur that feels a bit more settled than the main town center. If you head towards the 680611 area, you’ll see the buildings for St. Aloysius College. It has been around for quite a long time and a lot of people from around Kerala come here to study. The campus has its own rhythm, especially when the rains start and everyone is carrying umbrellas between the different blocks. We have regular classrooms and labs that see a lot of use throughout the week. Students sit out in the open areas during their breaks or head to the canteen when they have a gap in their schedule. It is not some ultra-modern glass building, but it is solid and serves its purpose for the hundreds of young people who walk through the gates every day. The staff here handles the paperwork and the lectures, and there is always some sort of noise coming from the sports ground or the hallways. It feels like a small community once you get to know the faces. We deal with the usual college stuff, like exam schedules and library books. It is just a place where students come to get their degrees and move on with their lives. The trees on the grounds provide a bit of shade when the sun is really hot. Most people just call it Aloysius and everyone knows where that is. It works for us.
