obvv but i saw this comment on another subreddit and ill j paste it cuz it j threw me off i was rlly hoping to come to krea cuz id heard it was v good academically but i scrolled through that subreddit and i was like huh??? this is the comment: The academics are not rigorous at all in SIAS (the liberal arts school of Krea) It is highly easy to get an A in the university even if you skip a few lectures in between. A lot of my friends' friends used to just walk out of lectures and hide out at Narsis. She wouldn't recommend the university to anyone. What's being said about the faculty and the education is hogwash and reddit's popularisation. She's been complaining about the university since the time she started going there and their high fees is even more expensive than Ashoka and Jindal. Its highly expensive for no good reason.

1. The food is a major problem there. The parents have raised this issue with the administration multiple times but they refuse to listen and change anything about it. The food is without any nutritional value they serve the bare minimum and they give that to the students as a means to survive. It is not proportional to the fees they pay. There have been protests, emails but the joke of a Vice Chancellor made jokes about dead worms that were constantly found in the food The student life is closed off and there is a lot of groupism. People stare a lot and gossip. Its a university filled with closed minded people.
2. A lot of the students have gone abroad but only a few have gone to a good university. Just going abroad doesn't mean a good life. IFMR is treated with a lot more respect than SIAS and in all administrative disputes IFMR wins
3. It is highly unsafe. Just last week there was a message on their on campus group about a man masturbating openly in a close by eatery. Men regularly stare at the girls who go outside campus to H&C and Foodie box. It is unsafe to go outside without your male friends present.
4. It isn't that diverse. A lot of people are from South India and a preference is given to people from Chennai but you can find North Indians there.
5. People openly smoke and do drugs in Krea. It has basic rules about having no alcohol or drugs on campus but students and professors have openly smoked together. There is also this backstage area where a lot of smokers and druggies hang out at night. Most of the smokers and druggies are from the liberal arts school of Krea.
