Student Testimonials

Vasudha Saraogi

Class of 2021
Founder, NorthStar Impact Solution

This institution shaped my career and personal growth. The skills, experiences, and network developed here were invaluable in shaping my academic growth.

The University’s diverse curriculum, faculty, and vibrant campus life provided a strong foundation for my professional journey. I explored the connections between heritage, sustainability, and business. My thesis on regenerating historic neighbourhoods through market routes honed my research skills and deepened my appreciation for sustainable development. The supportive community encouraged me to think critically and creatively, leading me to establish my ventures. These ventures focus on revolutionising sustainable business practices and impact measurement, reflecting the values I acquired during my studies. The institution has reinforced the importance of a solid educational background and continuous learning.

The Master of Management Studies in Heritage Management programme at Ahmedabad University is about revitalising forgotten stories and safeguarding our collective memory. It not only ignited my passion but also satisfied my thirst for history. Each discovery, from hidden murals to ancient recipes, was thrilling. Through our projects, I learned how to embrace our roles as custodians, shaping the future while preserving the past.

Student Housing

University Residences provide secure spaces for Ahmedabad University students to live in a homelike environment vital for their growth and development. The University currently provides three high quality Residences in its commitment towards simple, comfortable and secure living for those from out of town. Our Residences are a lesson in building a community that has at its core a respect for diversity in ideas, in ways of living, in food preferences, in cultural practices, language and in religion.

Our University Residences is currently in partnership with an entrepreneurial student accommodation firm, Feels Like Home (FLH). The Residences are overseen by a dedicated Office of Student Residencies. The University has onsite Residence Managers/ Wardens to address any concerns that students might have.

Our modern housing options offered for both boys and girls are within close proximity of the Campus. Currently, the University has separate Residences for boys and girls due to logistical concerns. However, the University may convert some or all of the Residences into co-ed facilities if the situation demands. The conversions will be done keeping all due precautions in mind. There will be exclusive boys’ and girls’ floors with adequate entry barriers to prevent unauthorised access. Transport facility to and from the Campus at specified timings is provided for some of the Residences on a need basis. All Residences are under strict security monitoring.
