Post your LUMS admission decisions here.

and pdc link here http://pdc.lums.edu.pk/, someone already gave, is helpful in estimating rough costs, so like food could be 1-1.2 lac annually, very roughly again.
And above pdc, in the same bldg you can go to gloria jeans, tia maria, and some other restaurants if you don't want to be limited to pdc food, snacks etc

Yaar. Mujhe koi bata day ke Hostel Fee kia cover kerti hai? -.-

Moreover the rooms aren't air conditioned. Or atleast in boys hostel they're not.

 

[chirpy]

Ya but 4742, common rooms are ac-ed, and you mite want to rofl , but i read somewhere students are allowed to take their mattresses to the common room to sleep there, and wait i dont recall this bit was from a boy or a girl. But i think lums hostel rules won't be as strict as barring you from sleeping in ac-ed CRs.

Yeah you can sleep there, but you see common rooms are not so peaceful

Portable AC's if hostels allow.

I read somewhere that you have to pay the electricity bill every month depending on how much the bill is :/
for example, it'll be more during summers and less in winters..
Or maybe we'll have to pay additional charges in the summers..
Dont know
and I'm not sure about this But i remember reading it somewhere..

And ya only if i were going to lums , i would so cringe telling others my dining hall's name is PEPSI dining hall. So cheesy. I see lums is littering with amazing talent, all the exchange programs and what not, can't they just ask any genius to think up a decent dining hall name for them

 

[472476]

Okay, so what about the fridges / kitchen?
Does the food disappear?

 

[chirpy]

^ idon't think so electricity is charged separately, but better confirm with the administration.
Fridges are allowed, butt additional electricity charges or not and food vanishing or not, Noni is the expert here, her sis is already there, so she could tell.

May be the mystery of disappearing food.
I earlier talked about bringing in your own fridge. Ya with the shared fridges chances of food going missing are.. well enough. I just knew of a hostel whose resident told me her chocolates got stolen

have any other overseas students heard from them yet?
also I have no idea about LUMS grade requirements but if i had
gpa: 3.8
sat: 1930
and some college credit already
and i didn't apply for financial aid
what do you think my chances are?
is it harder or easier for a foreign student to get in?
(applied in management sciences with political science as my second choice)

 

[472476]

chocolates - even an angel might steal them, theyre just so tempting *.*

 

[Fahdii]

Well just a rough estimate for food, if u spend only 100rs per meal, then it makes it 300rs a day , 9000 a month, and 54000rs a semester!!! (Luxury food and beverages EXCLUDED!)
