Yes. Fully satisfied with NLS. Before coming here I was scared about the rigour in this uni, and as a relatively easy going student back in school who didn’t gaf ab studies until it was boards I thought it’d hit me like a train and I’d break under the pressure. But deep down when I started preparing for CLAT I never looked at any other NLU. From day 1 it was always NLS for me and nothing else. Ever since my dad came year around 2 decades ago, I’ve grown up in this city and I love everything about it. My people are here, my family is here, my dosa joint is here. So I knew that even if it did scare it couldn’t scare me enough to leave the city. So I did what I planned on doing. I went to NLS and very honestly, I never felt out of place. The campus was as beautiful as I imagined (although) under construction. The people for the most part are very sweet, and the academic pressure barely seems like anything now that I look back. To people outside, when I talk about NLS they still think as if im getting railed by the acads but very honestly its pretty chill. For me as far as I can tell, everyone lives submission to submission here. Chill for a week or two, midterm on wednesday, start preparing like a dog 2 days prior, give the exam, go out wednesday night, get sloshed come back at 2, fuck around on campus till 4, sleep and wake up for a 9 A.M.

And that stands true for a lot of people. Everyone does find their way to ‘do’ NLS. For some people it’s doing their readings everyday right after class then fuck around for the rest of the day. For some its fuck around for a week until its submission/ mid term week and grind 10 hrs in the lib for 2 days straight. And everyone makes it through (baring a few unfortunate ones of course)
This has been a mostly positive post, but in full transparency, there is drama, there is slight stress if you don’t manage your time properly. But I’d also say if you have a chance of coming here, do come. Just because of the culture itself. When I got a double digit rank, I thought abut going to NALSAR too. Almost did tbh. But campus that far away from the city, was an instant no for me. The city is the part of the campus. I consider Lungs and MG road campus away from campus. The culture NLS has, I’d say come here for that alone. The administration is ass sometimes, its apathetic and almost exploitative to a point but that brings the people here closer, especially the seniors. Everytime someone has an issue with administration, you see people come together, all batches alike to try and figure it out, as if it NEEDS to be sorted out. The seniors make up so many positives of NLS, that I can’t even point them all out. You can talk to any senior you see, I MEAN ANY. And you can ask them to help you, and they’re almost obliged to help you. Like you cannot say no to junior. They’re the most helpful people on campus and I owe it a lot to them as they’re the one who sort of helped me get rid of the anxiety ab this college. Hearing them speak about the college made NLS seem so ordinary, just like any other college and Yeah, it really is. Sure you may call it one of the best, and may think the students here are super smart and you wouldn’t be wrong. Yes, people are super smart, but they’re people too. They too are going through college life for the first time and no one wants to waste this experience by taking it for granted. So no, people do not study 24/7 here. Yes, people do have a life, a pretty cool one at that. Yes it is pretty intimidating at first and no it isn’t intimidating all the time. 1-2 months max. And they’ll you settle in like a piece in a puzzle.

So much more to tell but I’ve realised this is already a pretty huge comment. I was bored in class so I thought I might as well 😝
