Hi Rebecca, I am not a girl but will try to answer ur quries.
1. You will get the girls who are joining the hostel in the FB converts group. Please do join and get ur queries clarified in details.
2.I think the girls should arrive on 9th ie. saturday (some of my friends are arriving on 9th itself) as they have to pay the money going to the bank nearby for hostel booking. Bank is open for half day on saturday so the formalities and room booking can be done I guess.
3. Facilities can only be explained in details by the seniors. AFAIK the rooms for girls are on twin sharing basis. The food is served from Loyola mess and you have the option of choosing from different cusines ie. veg/non-veg/north indian.
4.The laptops are not provided by LIBA. What I suggest is to get laptop from Mumbai as I think it will be a tad cheaper there. Out of the brands u mentioned Dell is the best. But still Dell has a problem with the keyboard longivity. I suggest to go for Lenovo..have been using it for more than a year now.
5. Laptop specification totally depends on your needs. I hope u r not a gamer like me. A decent laptop with i3, 1or2 gb ram and 500 gb HDD is good to go for regular netsurfing and movie watching and powepoint/excel work (each of them is vital for B School life :biggrin:)
P.S. I have the mail about girls hostel queries sent by LIBA girls hostel. I can send it to you if u dont have it.
See u in LIBA
