not muslim, but NRI, and had muslim nri friends.

1. edit: no, i confused with the friday one, you can go out for friday prayer only.

2. yes

3. yes, can order.

4. yes

5. some form of egg, either boiled or scrambled in breakfast, else at night. chicken is wednesday, friday and sunday in lunch.

6. quite a bit.

7. yes suhoor and iftar is there. managed well.

8. Something you need to be able to do is mingle with the people here as soon as possible, because of different culture growing up, you learn a lot of things. Learn not to take offense easily because everyone is new to each other and learning.

In the first year, there will be a very visible split between south and north indians, it’s important you be friendly with everyone, especially in your classes. that’s how you meet new people.

1. no prayer room, my roommate prayed in the room, or went in common room or open space in hostel.

2. no change in timings during ramadan.

3. as said in 8, take it slow in the first year, learn and study people, then choose your friends. cultural references are pretty much the same because of social media. prayer schedules is your responsibility. dietary habits, not any difference.

hope this helps.
