St Aloysius Ladies Hostel
St Aloysius College Ladies Hostel is a perfect home away from home for several students coming from different states of our country. It provides students a formation which helps them to transced their own tradition and assists them to live as members of one human family. Students come here with different cultural backgrounds and yet form a strong community bound by mutual friendship and love. The various common activities of the hostel help the hostellers to build bonds of solidarity and oneness and experience unity in diversity. The Management has always tried to provide safe and secure environment in the hostel, characterized by human and Christian values through the provision of adequate support and close supervision.

Academics St Aloysius College Ladies Hostel is a centre for living, learning and for integral growth. This Hostel is primarily a study house. While providing facilities for board and lodge for college students, the Hostel strives to create an healthy and conducive atmosphere for study, prayer and healthy interaction among the inmates. Sufficient facilities and healthy environment are provided to promote concentrated study resulting in high academic performance. During the year 2008-2009 the students of our hostel secured 100% results many obtaining distinctions and first classes.

The characteristics of this study House are-
  • To fulfill a need of providing accommodation and other amenities to the students who are desirous to study at St. Aloysius Institutions.
  • St. Aloysius College Hostel is not a home in the sense that all conveniences provided at home can be provided here, neither the final goal of the hostel is to build up family relationships between the students and the staff.
  • The hostel primarily being a study house, all the possible conveniences that promote intellectual development, primarily, and any other amenities that promote all around development of the persons will be provided.
  • Generally, in a home environment, a certain sense of casualness, informality, dispersed atmosphere, elastic timetable, regular adjustments, that’s alright! attitudes prevail. This hostel is not exactly a home but a study house. Those who seek admission to this hostel are urged not to expect the casual family atmosphere in the Hostel and are required to get accustomed to a much more ordered life within the framework of a set of rules and regulations.

All round development Importance is also given to develop a healthy personality which, while protecting one’s own dignity, respects the other person’s rights for the same dignity. Since the inmates of the Hostel belong to diverse religions, cultures and backgrounds, this Hostel is a micro world in itself and the very fact of living in this environment trains the inmates to cherish the unity and celebrate the diversity thus transforming them into citizens of the world. The hostel life induces the inmates to understand the other which is unlike ones own personal world view, that was picked up from somewhere during childhood along the life’s journey. The very fact of living in this Hostel becomes an intrinsic value of introjecting a much broader world view that embraces, cherishes and respects all the diversity.

The Hostel provides to its inmates opportunities of sharing responsibility in the running of the Hostel thus helping them develop into a mature community of responsible persons, capable of cultivating personal and social values of self-respect, politeness, justice and truthfulness, respect for others, mutual concern and fellowship. Periodic meetings are held to plan out various activities of the hostel and evaluate our life together. Every month the kitchen staff along with the Director, Warden, sub-wardens and the Student leader has its official meetings to evaluate nutritional content, overall hygienic conditions and quality of the food.

Order and discipline are essential ingredients of common life and they create an atmosphere for effective learning. It is to enhance the quality of living and learning and to aim at excellence that the following rules are framed. They are liable to be revised periodically and made more relevant to the inmates. 

Spiritual growth Our hostel places great importance to the value of spiritual formation of our students. All the Catholic students have Holy Mass thrice a week and Rosary prayers every evening. They are also encouraged to attend daily Eucharist in our college chapel.

We are thankful to all the Jesuit Fathers for their involvement in and concern for the spiritual well being of the hostellers. We thank them for being available to offer Mass and for their support and inspiration. Inter-religious prayer service for all the students practicing different faiths is also held on every Thursday.
