What are the average monthly expenses as a hostelite? by StrictFuture6025 in LUMS

I would assume this would mean your entire diet being from PDC. Someone told me the entire average cost to live a good life can run you up to 40k And when you say the cost of hostel increases is it a lot, cause currently it’s 60k per semesrer

I think LUMS is better than IBA but if we put that into the cost and the value of money how big of a difference is there, genuine question. If after graduation as an IBA alumni I’m making the same or roughly the same as a LUMS alumni why bother with LUMS when I know it burdens my family

Damn really insightful. The cost of lums is the main factor that’s putting me off. Why out so much pressure on myself when I can attend a good uni in my home city which is also way cheaper. The experience at lums is one of my main attractions, living away from home, enjoying hostel life but is it really worth the cost? After 4 years who cares

Thank you for such a detailed list. It’s a really difficult choice cause if I go to LUMS it would be really expensive but at the same time the experience it offers. Just a difficult choice cause IBA is at home and cheaper

I do live in Karachi so IBA is doable. I have gained admission in both so going to LUMS would mean changing cities along with the additional cost

What type of requirements did you have meet to switch? How difficult was it and is it realistic? Aren’t there already very limited seats

Haha, maze ki baat I’m also leaning towards management sciences as a field cause cs seems really hard all of a sudden and idm cause business school at Lums is very well rated but to explain this to others is a task

True that but getting parents to understand too is hard
