Whether you're a fresher, senior, or alumnus, what was the biggest surprise after joining SRM?

It could be something that turned out much better than expected or something that wasn't quite what you imagined.

Imagine the university asked students to vote on one change that would stay forever, but the fees couldn't go up.

What would you choose and why?

It can be anything that affects student life, from academics and attendance to hostels, placements, campus facilities, or events. Curious to see which issue most students think deserves to be fixed first.

No extra tuition fees, no academic pressure, and your placement offer (if you have one) stays safe.

You get one more year to spend at SRM exactly as you want. Maybe you'd explore more clubs, make better use of campus opportunities, hang out with friends, or finally do all the things you kept postponing.

Would you stay for another year, or have you had enough of college life already?

I wake up looking like I've just returned from a 3-day trek with zero survival skills. Meanwhile, there are people in my class showing up at 7:55 AM looking like they had a full skincare routine, breakfast, and eight hours of sleep.

What's the secret? Good genetics? Insane discipline? Or are they just suffering quietly like the rest of us?

Could be about classes, hostel life, making friends, attendance, exams, placements, or even the best food spots on campus. Share the one thing that caught you off guard or made you think, "I really should've known this before coming here." It might save a junior from learning it the hard way.

Back in school I used to think college students had everything balanced. Now it’s just sleeping late, missing breakfast, rushing to classes and pretending assignments don’t exist till the deadline hits 💀
Trying to figure out if this is a “me problem” or a universal uni experience.
