one can find a gamut of variety in this University’s crowd. Not to brag, but DU
is famous for the galore of stars and celebrities flocking towards this campus
for promotions and fests, there are certain traits or addictions that are found
common in the majority of students of this campus. These are the certain things
which a DU student just can’t live without.
1 1.Metros
Metros are the lifelines for DU students. A DU student just
can’t imagine their without metros. They are a major means of transport system
for DU students. Whether it is a trip with friends to South, West, East or
North Delhi or a hunt of markets and cafes or a tour to historical places or

home, metros are the backbones for any of these plans and drills. So metros are
a must cause Delhi Metro apki seva mai
hazir hai.

2.Photostat shops
Exams! Notes! Xerox! These three words are just like synonyms
for a DU student. One can see long trailing lines of students at the Xerox
shops before exams to save their life or say semester exams, especially for
those who hang around cool kids round the year and bunk classes like their ace
business and then flock around the ‘Nerds’ before exams.
No student can be found in DU who hasn’t bunk a lecture in
their entire college. If found, then they belong to a ‘rare species’ group who
are not usually found in University. It is a known fact that lectures can be
boring as hell and sitting in those lectures rooms and not to fall asleep is a
tough task. So students often find bunking as an escape plan to save their
lives and better spend their time enjoying. Bunks are like unavoidable.
1 5. Elections
There is no better time in the whole session of
the year than the election season. One can find a whole mob singing and
shouting slogans and vote appeals for their candidates. The volunteers
supporting their team and party can do anything and as ready to reach to every
nook and cranny of the college to not to leave any stone un-turned to ask for
vote. Also freshers can experience the temporary V.I.P feeling as the
volunteers and candidates will lure around them to ask for votes and to
complain about the other parties. A lot of excitement and enthusiasm is seen in
students and in campus during the election period.
1 6. Fashion
Fashion! Vogue! Trendiness! Style! Swag! These are certain traits that mark a DU
student. One can find top trendy and latest fashion being warn and flaunt off
on the streets and corridors of campuses and colleges like models. Several
beauty pageants and contests are being hoisted in DU to let students show off
the supermodel in them. Several clothing and fashion brands are often found
here marketing their stuff as DU is the hotspot for youngster fashion. Hail to
the students who are continuing the legacy of fashion of this campus.
1 7. Fests
You name the star or a singer or a band who hasn’t come to
DU. None I guess! Fests season is that time of the session when several
singers, pop stars and celebs come of this University and make the crowd go
gaga over their songs and set a euphoric environment with maddening crowd in
their concerts. Not only DU students, but also students from several other
colleges and universities come to attend the fests hoisted by the DU colleges.
Added fun games, events and food are the additional sbounties that come with
the fests.
1 8. Societies
Du colleges are not complete without
their several societies. Society of every genre can be found in the colleges
and all are well equipped to polish ones skills and talents. Whatever talent
you possess, whether its creative art, debating, singing, dancing, content
writing, event managing or any other soft skill that you may have, there is a
society for you to join. They will not only enhance your skills, but will also
offer you other bounties like an adventurous and fun college life with lot of
friend for life been made there. A society member is often found to spend more
time in the society than in the lectures.
9. Sleep
Yes! Sleep! The one of the most precious possessions of a DU
student to just relax and to find a solace. DU students don’t want their sleep
to be compromised at any cost, even if they have to miss a lecture. The
scenario is that even if a DU student is in a coma for 2 years, he would still
ask for 5 more minute sleep. Relatable? Yes?
10. Music
College students with ear plugs in their ears and listening
to their favorite singer’s or band’s songs is a common scene. DU students are
a great of pop, rock and hip hop music. One can hear latest songs being played
at high blaring volumes on cars, PGs and hostels.
Once you crack into this Premier institution by making
through the sky high cut offs, you will be gifted with bounties and truck loads
of memories to cherish later in your life.
