VIT Vellore

Talking about the accommodation outside, you have plenty number of flats and PGs within a radius of 2 km. You would definitely require a two wheeler for your transportation unless you stay in TATA apartments which is a building next to the campus. Some other PGs where students commonly live are Sai Nila, Vinayaka PGs, TATA, SBIOS, etc.

Approximately, the cost for PGs:

NON AC - 3 BEDDED - 9000 per month including three meals a day. 

AC - 3 BEDDED - 12000 - 14000 plus AC charges extra (meals included).

I would suggest you to take an apartment for rent rather than PGs along with your friends. Staying outside is the best option, as you will have total freedom.
