The hostels are pretty close... i guess u dont know about the Heritage of GIM... The campus on which ur going to stay for the next 2 years is a more than 350 yr old building... it used to be a hospital... n thats y the names are such morgue, etc. I feel its good to have more than one hostel, u will realise later as to y.. and also most B-schools have more than 1 hostel... so its nothing new.... but i guess the management has bought land and are constructiong a hostel that would accomodate most students (the exact no. is not known)I did not get what categories u r talking about.... as we dont have any categories as such.....

The GIM admin block is an old heritage building and is more than 350 years old!!!! It is a heritage building with lots of history attached. it is supposedly the oldest hospital building in Asia. All the classrooms, library and faculty cabins are in this building. The entire GIM campus was inherited from Goa Medical/Dental College after they moved to a new site.The Hostels thus retained the name that it was christened with when the medical college was in place. Thus u have the Operation Theatre (affectionately, called as OT by everyone.) OT is THE hostel of GIM. Parties, music n late nights are part of the OT culture.
OT is the biggest hostel in GIM and houses about 100 people.
Than we have the Morgue, a rather inaccurate description coz the actual morgue is just a small 2 room structure outside it. Morgue has traditionally been associated with studious people who want some peace and quiet of their own. it has 5 double rooms, all currently occupied by seniors.
next there's Hilltop. Hill top is far away from the action. Again a good place for studious types. It houses a brilliant view. simply awe freaking some.. Not too sure as to how many rooms it houses. Quite a few rooms though. those coming in late will probably get rooms here. It has certain disadvantadges to it which I can not reveal in public forum.
Than there's the Admin block which has abt 6 rooms. 5 triples and a single. Advantadge of Admin is that there's a power failure than this is the only hostel connected to generator. Disadvantadge is that this hostel had absolutely no privacy.
Lastly there's LH. the gal's hostel.its the most modern of the hostels. Nice place. cant tell u abt the gals rooms coz its off limits. 1000 bucks fine for going into any gals rooms..5 rooms on the ground floor are are for guys. and every year there's a big rush for these rooms . These rooms are always alloted to juniors every year.
BTW gals are allowed into guys rooms at anytime ..so it will not be a hindrance to project work. but guys are strictly not allowed to go to gals rooms.

now as far as distance goes. all hostels are abt 30 seconds walk from admin block except for Hilltop.so distance is not really a problem. The campus is actually quite small as compared to some of the other B-schools but that is probably one of GIM's most appealing factors. Coz bcoz of dis, everyone knows everyone and u will end up hanging out with almost the entire batch at some point of time.GIM is really a close knit community..and this fact can only be appreciated most when we spend some time away from it like everyone's doing right now at summers..

I hope that answers most of your questions about the hostels..
cheers

Hey Man,

Really great description of the Hostel system in GIM. I am sure these tid bits of Information will surely let us take a more informed decision. Can the seniors please shed some light on the food scene. The Canteen was closed when I went there.

The food is good at the canteen??

What are the approx montly mess charges??

How often do GIM guys eat out??

Thank god finally my font field is working and I no longer get those Jumbo fonts...

Cheers...

The food at the mess is definitely better than most engg hostels ... But there are a number of options .. gene .. jaggu.. annapurna... seema.. sanyu .. all of them are on campus or very near to it...
Goa is a non vegetarians paradise... Average expense on food for me on a monthly basis was around 4 to 5k ..Including jaggu, mess and kailash and my dining out..

You can eat out whenever u feel like ... there is no compulsion to eat at the mess,... u pay for what u eat

abt the mess...well the contractor has changed this year..so can't comment on the quality of food without tasting it..based on last years experience i wud predict a generally north indian menu..veg meals at all times of day , besides fish curry rice in noon and chicken in the nights..burgers and rolls for those inclined towards fast food...besides the mess u have in three other immediate options in kailash, jaggu and casa...kailash is the guy for juices ...jaggu provides a general stores cum snacks place....casa is THE place for tea...there's also ferry point where u get vada pav and stuff..panjim is hardly 5 km away so a gud meal cud be had at any restaurant there...and of course there's fidalgo's in panjim...there's a legend in GIM that at any point of time u shall always find a GIM student in Fidalgo's...its a 24*7 hotel...so u see u have lots of options....again i repeat having own transportation is key to enjoying goa to the fullest over the next 2 years...nways guess thats more than sufficent for timebeing...any more queries just shoot across.
cheers

Hi Puys

Taking discussion on other side...IIMs should be announcing the results in a day or two.. I suppose that will allow GIM admission guys to comment on the waiting list movement... i hope other Puys will understand my anxiety...

@Seniors

you guys have been gr8 in explaining everything about hostels and food and i have been :bigear: to it. Kudos to you..

Yummy!! After hearing about all that food, I think i did a foolish thing by cancelling my seat at GIM.
All you future GIMmers will definitely have lots of fun, at least in the mess.
Rock ON!!

Guys i understand the eagerness of the numbers for waitlist... but still the u will get them only after 5th may... in the current situation if some one moves up he will be called up and informed... so just relax...
Also guys IMT -G also have a similar procedure whereby the waitlist numbers are not out.... so GIM is no exception....

HAVE PATIENCE N
