Campus and city
Life at DU is college-based, not university-wide: identity, friendships, and culture form within your individual college rather than a single campus. North Campus (St. Stephen's, Hindu, Hansraj, Miranda House) has the classic, walkable college-town feel, while South Campus colleges (LSR, Sri Venkateswara) sit across a sprawling capital that many students commute through daily. Annual college festivals, debating, dramatics, music societies, and a politically charged student-union scene define the experience, set against central New Delhi's museums, food, and proximity to government and media. The trade-off is scale and logistics — scarce hostels, big classes at the larger colleges, and a city that rewards the well-connected.
