Faculty is good approachable hostel food is bad even for premium mess food cost high.

Infrastructure: SSN is one of the popular colleges known for its infrastructure. However, as an SSNite, I can give you a clear review. The hostel for 1st-year students is well-maintained, but for 2nd-year students, the story is different. They convert 3-sharing rooms to 4-sharing due to a shortage of hostel space caused by the introduction of SNU Law.

Very good college with high infrastructure, with well-qualified and experienced faculty. 

Infrastructure: Talking about the infrastructure—the labs, classrooms, library, and even common areas like the canteen and walking paths—everything is maintained regularly. Each lab is equipped with features corresponding to its name. Additionally, the entire campus has a very good Wi-Fi connection.
