The English and Foreign Languages University Hyderabad Campus: Photos, Virtual Tour

The campus's infrastructure is very good. We have the academic block, the NAB block, the foreign languages block, a library, a multipurpose sports complex, a jogger’s park, an open air gymnasium, a football ground, a children's park, a distance education block, separate gyms for men and women, and a guest house.

The campus life here at EFLU is amazing. The students are so passionate that we have activities here on a regular basis. The crowd is amazing and active in organising a lot of events here on campus. We have a lot of clubs like the theatre club, the music club, the dance club, the poetry club, and the sports club.Read Full Review

The facilities available are quite enough for the average student. The university neither boasts of a humongous campus nor top of the line infrastructure, but they get it about right. Everything a student could likely need is present and accounted for, but nothing is over the top flashy. The only thing flashy about EFLU is its highly qualified teachers. It is a relatively small campus for a central university, but with about 1800 students at a time, it doesn’t feel crowded. It's a small and cozy little campus with familiar faces each time you walk by. There is ample greenery around the campus and there aren’t any roads which get uncomfortable because there’s so much greenery. The decor is kept simple and minimal. There are two Foreign Language buildings (Old FL and New FL buildings). The New FL building is where our classes are held. It is five stories filled with classrooms and well equipped laboratories with ample sunlight and airflow. There are projectors in each classroom to aid audio-visual modes of teaching. Apart from the New and Old FL buildings, there are the Distance Education building, the Ramesh Mohan Library, the Study rooms, Help desks for foreign students, the canteen, the essentials-cum-snack shop, the university Music Room, Administrative building, the New Academic Block (NAB) and the EMMRC buildings. There is a moderately sized field where students play football, cricket and volleyball. There is a leisure area fitted with benches overlooking the field which is simply referred to as benches by the students, where an evening cup of tea or a hang-out session is a staple.

The canteen serves fairly tasty food whilst maintaining good hygiene, and there is a beautiful area with benches and trees in front of it. Students come here to discuss studies, talk, unwind and simply hang out. The music room is a personal favorite, where guitars, keyboards, tablas and drums are up for practice and random jams, and a music teacher who’s always keen to teach playing the instruments and hang out with- highly recommended. There is a ‘Maggi Hotspot’ which serves various kinds of maggi and coffee beverages up until 2 am at night so it's the perfect spot to satiate the midnight hunger pangs or a quick chocolate after a late night study session. There are swings, slides and some gym equipment in the University Park which is fairly large and is frequented by joggers and casual strollers. Also there is a well equipped gym with treadmills and whatnot to take care of our body. There is also a Health Centre where there’s almost always a doctor on call. Although sometimes understaffed, it serves the purpose. There is a 24 hour ambulance on standby for emergency purposes. In a nutshell, the campus is well endowed with the essentials and provides a very warm and welcoming outlook.

The campus being small and the total strength being fairly low, there are a lot of familiar faces in the campus. And being a residential university, it never feels too alien or lonesome. Everyone is friendly and actively tries to get along with each other. The university and the student council organize many events around the year which adds to the campus experience. Freshers and farewell events are a staple and apart from that various cultural events are held on a massive scale including music, art and dance performances. Various festivals such as Diwali, Ganesh Chaturthi, Onam etc. are celebrated. The university is also invited to fests held by other colleges such as BITS and Christ Church, which it actively participates in.

Recently the Diamond Jubilee celebrations were held which was a grand success. Since it is a university with international students, the Foreign Languages day is a feast to experience. Students from various parts of the world showcase their nation’s cultural specialties and it is great to experience the vividness of cultures. Costumes, languages, music and dance all are showcased in the cultural extravaganza. There are sports tournaments and other competitions held and organized by the student council. Also there are clubs - the Music club, the Theatre club etc. which are active as well. The university does not invite other colleges for its events solely because of the lack of available space but apart from that each and every event is organized and executed with flying colours, and definitely achieve its goals of interaction and student’s personal growth.Read Full Review
