Men's Hostel

Here at FC College (which is one of the best private institutions in the nation and the only institution in Asia to be invited to join the Global Alliance), the men and women live in "hostels" (the Pakistani name for residence halls) on campus. They are naturally single-gender housing units and all students are under a strict curfew.

To provide a comparison in cost structure. The total fee to live "on campus" in a hostel is about 9,800 PKR in addition to deposits of 3,500 PKR (mess) and 3,000 PKR (room), for a total of 16,300 PKR, or roughly $192 (for the year). The utilities (which students pay) is another 400 PKR per month, which is 4,800 PKR per year, or $56 for the year. Food is an additional cost, but is based on what meals are eaten (as there are no "meal plans" here like in the USA and students pay for what they eat).
