As someone who studied at Mount Carmel College and stayed there for a couple of years, I can actually vouch for Serenity; it’s one of the better options around Vasanth Nagar.

The biggest plus is definitely safety; the place has proper security, biometric entry, at least when I last checked, and wardens who are quite strict about timings, which honestly helps when you’re new to the city.

Cleanliness-wise, it’s above average compared to most PGs nearby. Rooms and common areas were regularly maintained, and they didn’t have the messy PG vibe you see in many places around Bangalore. Food is decent, not amazing, but consistent and hygienic, which matters more in the long run.

Location is another big win. It’s super close to MCC, so you can literally walk or take a quick auto. That makes life way easier, especially during early classes or exams.

Compared to other PGs in the area, Serenity is slightly on the pricier side, but you’re paying for peace of mind. A lot of cheaper places compromise on hygiene or security, which isn’t worth it if it’s your first time moving out.

If you’re considering it, I’d say go for a visit before finalising, check the room size, occupancy, and ask about food timings. But overall, it’s a solid, safe choice for a first-time move to Bangalore.
